A Venus not yet in her prime showing flashes of the player she became against a Steffi looking frail and not yet match fit. I’ve never seen Steffi look so puffed in a match. Still find it unbelievable she won the French Open in 99 despite being a shadow of the player of 95/96.

Steffi was just too good an athlete...fitter and faster than almost any player...even in a tough match like this, the opponent would finally run out of gas at the end of the match due to her athleticism. and this is after two knee surgeries and the year she retired.!!! and boy that forehand 😍😍😍😍😍👍

Lol Venus was suffering from Sjogrens which is why her form fluctuated.

@@paigehere5176 Venus didn't have Sjogrens at this point. She started experiencing symptoms in 2005 and wasn't diagnosed until 2011. But, as I'm sure you know, this match was played in 1999. I for one think this was a good matchup for both players. Both are incredible but you can tell here that Graf was in more control of her talents, power, and athleticism. Venus was still young here and it shows - though she had some nice wins against Graf and it would have been interesting to see how the rivalry would have developed had Graf stayed on the tour a few more year. Imagine a Wimbledon 2000 rematch!

It felt like they were both the same distance from their peak - Steffi past hers, Venus yet to reach hers. So this feels like a good representation of how they would’ve played out. Same at Wimbledon.

In line with 1998. These were two of the most exciting years on the tour. (I’d add 1990 to that list)
