Out of 72 Years I have never seen so great respect shown to a genuine gorgeous down to the earth & a famous LADY!!!! in the world!!!! Respect Madam Steffi graf.May the merciful creator be always with your entire family. ❤
I saw Steffi Graf’s 1999 retirement ceremony on TV to acknowledge her amazing career and greatness. She was my idol when I was young and I was so emotional 🥺😢 knowing this was the last time we will see her on the global tennis stage competing for titles and slams. Steffi’s accomplishments are mind blowing with her 22 grand slams, her 1988 calendar year grand slam plus Olympic gold aka ‘the Golden Grand Slam’, a non-calendar year grand slam between ‘93-‘94, her record 377 weeks at #1, and the best all-around tennis pro winning 4 or more grand slams on different surfaces... all achieved at the age of 30 prior to her retirement in ‘99. IMHO, Steffi is the epitome of a fierce and humble champion. She is the greatest ever!!! My personal msg as a grateful fan... “Thank you Steffi for all those amazing years!!!” 🎾🏆🥇🤩🎉👏
My love affair with Tennis started with Steffi and ended when shre retired... I still watch it ...but its not the same...what a classy lady..her cheetah like movement on court with those blasting forehands and beautiful backhand slices...that high ball toss on serve..every damn thing etched in my memory for life... Absolute GOAT of not just tennis but sport in general...Miss You Steffi always stay blessed 💖
“Steffi, will you marry me?”……”How much money do you have?” To get out of a zone long enough to have a chuckle with a fan(as a kid I had a crush on her so I was jealous that guy got to propose) and then go back to being a killer on the court was one of the many reasons why she was so great. 22 titles in men’s or women’s tennis is quite the accomplishment. In 2024 we still miss you Mrs. Graf and up to this point there haven’t been many to play that match your fierceness on the court. Thank you for the memories and the boyhood crush.
Steffi had so much class, as a player and human being ! And of course we will never forget her grace and what she gave to this game ! Maybe Germanys greatest ambassador ever !
@dm45867 Steffi defeated Monica when she was only 15 in 1989..her rookie year. Monica was about 4 1/2 years younger. The stabbing stopped Monica's career at 19. Look at Novak Djokovic who is about 5 years younger than Federer..at first Roger had a winning record against Novak...but as Novak got older and stronger in his mid 20's, Novak had the winning record against Roger. Monica was doing the same thing to Graf but the stabbing stopped her career. Monica was only 19 when she was stabbed and had only played on the tour for 3 1/2 years before she left the tour. Monica beat the hell out of Steffi..and don't you forget it. 😆 🤣
@dm45867 Monica kicked Steffi's butt...you think the Great Monica Seles peaked at 19 years old? She won 8 Majors and she was on a Grand Slam roll. Monica was so great that she missed 2 1/2 years and she still came back to win the Australian Open..imagine if Monica never left the tour..she would have broken all the records. Wake up! Graf was not good enough to stop Monica...an act of violence stopped her. P.S. Monica will kick your ignorant butt too!😆 🤣
@dm45867 Steffi admitted in a press conference that it was very special to play Monica..."the best woman in the world." Poor Steffi was not good enough to stop Monica...she needed a crazy German lunatic to do it. Monica is the GOAT!
She made our Engg days amazing and most memorable and icon in the game of Tennis. She's most loved and adored simply for her extraordinary brilliance her composure behaviour everything is simply superb
Such a great player who redefined the Women tennis with her game, simplicity and great behavior, such a big player and down to earth personality, she will be a role model for many year's to come.
@@bobbyhanly3466Steffi would win every popularity poll against Kournikova at least with 90 to 10. So no idea how you came up with this idyotic opinion of yours. 😂
For me too. I don't give a f# who won the most titles. As a person, Steffi is simply fantastic. Her exemplary calm, her looks, her memorable style as a player and as a woman. Just wonderful. 🥰😍
Steffi is Steffi always ahead.... Certain moments are almost immaculate in memory....We cherished every single point,game, set and match.... Golden Grand slam, That US Open vs Gabrielle Sabatini, 1st Wimbledon crown beating Martina Navaratilova, that clean swipe French title vs Natalia Zevereva...You Beauty Thank you Stephanie Maria Graf... The tennis courts and our hearts will always remember you...
Thank you Mark for that indescribable video. I'm deeply touched. This was part of my childhood. It brings back so many memories to my mind. We were used to see her winning and I couldn't imagine at that time that she will once stop with tennis. The day she retired was a very sad moment for me. The same was with Boris.
When I was growing up, along with cricket, I always watched the rise of Steffi Graf, a very simple and hardworking lady who was also a brilliant tennis player.
@@josephjoel9199 Evert didn't have a global popularity unlike Steffi. Evert in her heydays was more popular in USA. While Steffi was & is extremely popular in USA, Europe, Australia & Asia (Japan, China & India). Gaby was popular but not in the same extent as Steffi.
@@rajusaha855 I watched a lot of Graf/Gaby and Graf/Chrissie matches and because in part people tend to root for the underdog, it was clear that the crowd was rooting for Evert and Sabatini. But there was never any doubt that people still loved Steffi. When Monica became number one, I do think that Steffi was more popular.
My most fav sports person.Very special place. What an astounding personality. The Best in her field Top class pro Die hard Fighter Achiever Sincere Daughter / sister Fantastic companion nd wife Most honest nd sincere Mother Whattt a Beauty...
Steffi was so cool throughout the ceremony Her shrewdness shows how great player she is! Wonder why I don’t see her tough competitor Monica Seles in ceremony
Steffi Graf eta was a great era . She has been champion of the champions. She was also a beautiful lady of attractive personality apart from a tennis champion.She dominated the game for number of years.Very emotional and overwhelming moments.

Monica and Serena were absent from these championships, because of injury. Hingis and Testud were playing a match right after. Venus was there though, don't know why she didn't show up.

Since about 75 % of all women's tennis fans were and are Steffi fans there must be a few crazy ones as well. But generally the dumb flock to players like Seles and Serena. You can see it every day in the YT comment sections. Steffi fans are mostly college-educated whereas Seles and especially Serena were and are more popular in trailer parks and ghettos.
