Steffi Graf vs Martina Hingis | French Open 1999 Women's Final Highlights | Eurosport

Other players would have quickly fallen to Hingis and lost, but not Steffi, who has to be one of the most mentally strong players in sports history, and yes I mean both genders 🎾 💕 a true legend 🇩🇪

If you watch the final against Seles in 1990/91and 92 Steffi checked the marks numerous times...she's a great athlete but a worthless person

Der Anfang vom Ende der kurzen Karriere von M. Hingis.

I'm in love with Steffi since i was a teenager!

Dindn´t know Steffi only had a Slice Backhand

Arrogance, fans effect, Hingis paid the price

I watched this live and was rooting for Steffi as most people did but I was pretty sure that Hingis would win. Boy was I wrong! It was amazing to watch!

Never liked the RG crowd. Most unruly and offensive of all the slams.

I remember this match. Hingis has every chance to win it. Propably would have. I just say that she made one big mistake. She underestimated steffi. A grand slam winner. Why? One point or the crowd didn't solve this match. That's just my opinion.

Man, Steffi is so easy to like

It’s funny how Steffi needed the umpire, the lines-people, and the whole crowd to beat an 18 year old teenager Martina Hingis

Martina DINGGIS!

The most dramatic match of all time. Period.

Love Stef …. Classic player

Remember watching on tv this Hingis meltdown.
She was obviously too young to keep up with a pressure of a GS final with Graf.
The point at the end of 2nd set where Graf with a short ball "calls" Hingis to the net and then passing her with a backhand spin....not so usual for Graf,,...was the moment when I screamed "Foxy Steffi"....and she was one of the most cunning, tricky players in whole tennis history...her variations in solutions against her opponents were stunning.

I remember watching this as a kid. As far as my memories go - if it wasn't for the crowd probably Hingis would win. Still a great match. Even though I still play tennis I dont enjoy watching professional matches anymore

I was sorry to see Martina to cry at the end of the match. Maybe the ball was in field and, after all, she was as soon as 18 years old. Then a star of the tennis that plays to high levels can't lose the hand in this manner. The public was incorrect, but Martina did everything to make herself hateful and she was boring to understimate a champion like Steffi. However I didn't think that she would never win again a Slam and that would have been her last final to Paris.

The best match ever!!!

L audience

i loved watching Steffi play, what a superb athlete & an artist on the court

Hingis was better

Martina Hingis was a prodigy. I feel ashamed for this stupid crowd. They broke the life of a young genius.

The only one who beat Martina that day was herself.....Steffi stayed cool and calm and her experience won out.....I remember it well.....

Очень жаль что Мартина Хингис проиграла этот финал. 😢😢😢

Hingis was so arrogant in this final

I'd forgot how much of a spoilt brat Hingus was!! 😂 .. Graf was AMAZING (her return in Slams was unbelievable) she'd won 21 by the time she was only 26!! Retired at 30. Serena had 2 play ALOT longer 2 get her figures. I've still not saw a female player that could lace Steffi's tennis shoes!! 😂😂

Steffi Graf in her prime was the ultimate in athleticism and beauty...my all time favourite player ❤

French open crowds can be brutal. They have no qualms about turning on children. Hingis had a good case about the ball mark, the line judge isn’t even convincing when trying to point to the ball mark

This crowd needs to get a life. Paying hundreds of Francs to watch two women hitting a ball over a net. AND bullying a teenager. 🙄

i cant comment on time before 1970 because i was to young,,,,,but since ,there is only one female tennis player i could crown as a queen of tennis,,,,,,,,,Steffi Graf,,,,,,,,by far

I remember watching this match live. I was amazed and so proud of Steffi Graf to come through and dominate the 3rd set. Hingis was clearly losing grip of her own confidence and resorted to a couple of under arm services to gain cheap points.

The most dignified and respectful part of this match was the speech Steffi gave in crediting Martina and urging her to continue and grow as the champion she would be who was in tears at losing this match. It shows the true champion and graceful competitor she was and many could learn alot from her to this day and moving forward in all sports.

Hingis a quand même été pour beaucoup responsable dans sa propre défaite, elle avait Graf a sa merci. Si elle avait été moins arrogante, le public ne l'aurait pas autant pris en grippe et pris fait et cause pour son adversaire.
Bravo a Graf pour s'être accroché mentalement, on voit qu'elle est allée au delà de ses limites physiques.

I watched this live. It almost the end of stefis career and noone expect her in this final. And then she grapped the title.

Steffi took out the trash that day.

Martina was gorgeous! Small, cute, cheeky, unbelievably talented and fascinating to watch. THE best women's player of all time. Ahead of her time, she retired the old crew of Graff, Sanches-vacario, Selles, Capriati, Navratalova.

Quel calme quelle maîtrise de steffi Graf. RESPECT

June 5th, on this day 25 years ago.
Probably the most famous women's match of the open era.

yeah that day i was watching.. i knew Steffi and tennis... but that day i met Hingis also... OMG!!! and that day... i started to watch every single tournaments until this year...STEFFI, SELES, WILLIAMS SISTERS, CAPRIATI, DAVENPORT, PIERCE my all time favorites....

Une finale que les amoureux de ce sport ne peut pas oublier 🎾💙 à la fois tragique et à la fois énorme

Graf was a superb player on every surface. The FO 99 demonstrates her skill, athleticism and resilience, outstanding tournament

I remember being a huge Hingis fan up to that final. Let's just say that things changed.
