The two best players ever, each one perfect in her own style.

Credit to Martina for getting herself together in the early 1980s at last, and using her talent to the full. She was devastating in this match. But credit to Chris also for hanging in there, and coming back to win the French the next year. The rivalry between them made each of them better.

This match is a great example of how weather conditions can affect a match. It was hot and that makes the ball fly through the air quicker. On clay, it also makes the court dry out and play faster. The conditions really boosted Martina's attacking game.

Best match I have ever seen Martina play (which is saying a lot) in a Grand Slam final ... and perhaps the greatest I have ever seen ANY player play in a Grand Slam final. Thanks for posting this video for us to enjoy!

the scoreline does not reflect the incredibly high quality of the match. One of the most enjoyable of their rivalry!

Thanks so much for posting and the quality is excellent! I don't think I've ever seen Martina play better. It's not like Chrissie had a bad match, Martina just played impeccably. I've never seen her hit so many winning drop shots. Amazing!

There's an interesting story about Chris's blue outfit here. As the match wore on, it started to show the sweat patches, and in an odd looking pattern. Chris, as always concerned about her appearance, decided afterwards that it was a very bad look (especially since she had been hammered in this match) and never wore anything other than a white top again in a major match.

don't see tennis of this varied quality anymore, shame! Martina was the greatest I think.

Since I love both ladies, it's nice to see Martina with a great Grand Slam singles victory (albeit in a lackluster match in their unparalleled rivalry), surprisingly rare on KZitem. The game where Martina goes up 4-0 in the 2nd set may be one of the best she has ever played in her career, including 2 drop-shot winners (against a drop-shot queen like Evert) and a powerful overhead from the baseline after Chris had gotten a lob over her head. Amazing! Martina undoubtedly deserved to win on this day.

Martina's best match play ever. Evert really didn't play poorly; she was just outplayed.

So, this was Martina's fourth Grand Slam title in a row and she won two more after that. She won the last three in 1983 and the first three in 1984. Yet they do not count as "the" Grand Slam. We all know why.

I often wonder how Martina at her peak like this would have done against Monica Seles during her peak years. They had some amazing matches as it was, but it would have been great to have had them both at their absolute best at the same time.

That evert class, down 5-0 40-15 ( 2 match points) Chris refused to be bageled . Wins 4 straight points , the last one the best shot of the year. She was sending a message” you have me here but by God I’m not retiring . I’m going to give it my all before I retire ! She said later after her retirement , that when she beat Martina after the 85 French , she jumped in the air thinking “ thank God , I can play a few more years! “ she loved tennis that much but she didn’t want to hang around forever and get embarrassed by Martina. That joy lasted for years after and the 86 French win proved the 85 win was not a fluke!
@th8257
You can see here at times how the game would evolve within just a few years. Some of Martina's serves are really short, but she could get away with with with Chris because Chris waited for the ball to get to her. She didn't move in to take the ball early. Perhaps the best illustration of the change was the way Jennifer Capriati played Martina at Wimbledon 1991 - stepping right in and hammering Martina's serve.
