Steffi Graf and Gabriela Sabatini are the three members of the seven most intense rivalries in women’s tennis.

The pleasant aspect of looking back at tennis is that it can also result in the elicitation of sentimental feelings simply by looking at tournament locations that have been almost forgotten. These tournaments include Hilton Head, Amelia Island, Boca Raton, and Berlin, where women like Steffi Graf and Gabriela Sabatini have competed for more or less significant titles. At the very least, it might happen once more this summer in the capital of Germany.

Both Graf and Sabatini competed against each other a total of forty times in a variety of competitions, including one match at the Olympic Games (1988, held in Seoul, the same year that Graf introduced her “Golden Slam”) and one match in the Fed Cup Championship. The majority of the time, Steffi Graf was in the lead, as she won 29 of these 40 games. Another way to illustrate Graf’s dominance is through the statistics that are presented below: Sabatini was defeated by the German in ten sets, with a score of 6-0, but the German was able to win at least one game in each round. However, what made the relationship between Graf and Sabatini unique was the fact that every once in a while, the two of them engaged in competition with one another. On top of that, it was very successful: In the annals of tennis history, Graf and Sabatini is credited with five tournament victories, the most notable of which occurred in the illustrious year of 1988 at Wimbledon.More than Sabatini, Graf was capable of doing everything a little bit better.
Why did Steffi Graf typically prevail in the matches that took place between the initial encounter with Gabriela Sabatini in 1985 in Mahwah, which is located in the state of New Jersey in the United States, and the final chord, which took place at the United States Open a little more than a decade later? Because, in general, she was able to perform each stroke a little bit more effectively than Sabatini at the time. With one notable exception: Gaby did not manage to fool anyone on the WTA tour with her backhand topspin. Steffi, on the other hand, caused her opponents a great deal of trouble with the slice, and the footwork of the native of Braun, which had never been accomplished before or after Graf, was completely out of the question.

There were twelve matches between Gabriela Sabatini and Steffi Graf at Grand Slam tournaments, but only one of them was won by Sabatini (1990, playing in the final of the US Open). Steffi Graf was always particularly successful against Gabriela Sabatini when the stakes were at their highest. Graf was victorious in the other two major finals (1991 at Wimbledon and 1988 at the US Open), as well as in the matches that took place in the rounds that came before. As a result of the exposed positions of the two opponents in the WTA world ranking, Graf and Sabatini were forced to compete against one of the four most prestigious tournaments in tennis at the earliest possible stage, which was the quarterfinals.

Attendances at the Roland Garros circuit
In the years following the conclusion of their respective careers, Steffi Graf and Gabriela Sabatini established themselves as extremely uncommon. At the French Open 2019, the Argentinean held a brief press conference, during which the improvised interview room came dangerously close to bursting at the seams. Moreover, the Bois de Boulogne is the location where Graf is most likely to be seen. The primary reason for this is that the individual, who is now 50 years old, has been able to fulfil his sponsorship commitments there for a considerable amount of time.
