Another memorable match between the Williams sisters - here in DOHA final 2009 - full match


I'm just speaking from my perspective, I really just haven't enjoyed Serena's matches vs Venus..but you're correct this is a good one

Just "stumbled" over an interesting You Tube video -if you're into statistics. Here is the developments in WTA top 10 - week out week in since 1987 to 2018. Fun to see top players dominate in a video.

The 50 most dramatic points in WTA history - according to author ;)



And here the most dramatic set by Caroline Wozniacki where she could have lost everything on the way to the AO title 2018

Steffi is one of my all time favorite players,gosh how time flies with Steffi turning 51 years young.Loved that final,I was never a fan of Hingis,a talented player,a bad sportsperson,she acted like a 'spoilt brat at times'.

Happy Belated Birthday to her!

When I was in Middle School & learning tennis Dad got me watching as he was a perfectionist & didn't like the way I got taught to serve. He said he'd teach me & he did. He said I had to watch & learn. Steffi Graf was my favourite female tennis player. (I haven't said anything before because I know what I'm about to say might put me in the firing line.) The most memorable female tennis match in my opinion was the Monica Seles v. Steffi Graf match. I thought it was disgusting that Monica got stabbed, wondered what security was doing & why they hadn't prevented people from having knives in the stadium in the first place, hoped Monica was going to be o.k. & thought it was a shame because she seemed to be a brilliant player & I thought she had a brilliant career ahead of her. I watched men's tennis too. I liked Andre Agassi best. Dad liked John McEnroe.

You're welcome. 1992 would fit the year as I remember being 10 at the time. Dad was trying to get me out of the house & my head out of books at the time.

Unfortunately Dad is no longer with us. Gosh! I was 2 then.

If you - like me - are following what happens around WTA - on YouTube -, you're probably not so fond of adds? Well there is a way around it and it's quite simple - you only have to add a dot in the address line - like this and refresh page- my challenge find the extra dot
;)
- the only thing you CAN'T afterwards is add a comment - but then you just remove the dot and refresh - have fun Steffi Graf vs Venus Williams full match - press link and press play
