Monica Seles vs Martina Navratilova Extended Highlights | 1991 US Open Final

You have to remember that Martina liked playing this side to Groff but it was a Groff backhand largely a slice. Now she's going to the very, very large Monica Sillas forehand. A much more difficult proposition for Navratilova today. And very difficult I think, or it appears to read. Circus. Yeah, she hit out, wouldn't answer calls from the executive director of the WTA. Martina said that's too good, WTA, Women's Tennis Association. And this is what Sillas is up against with Martina. Look at the difference in the Grand Slam final, 31-4. But there is a difference in the age also. It's also her eighth U.S. Open final, she's won four. Here's the passing shot. The topspin brings that ball down just inside the sideline. You see Sillas go under that ball trying to add a little spin for Martina. She tries a drop shot and Monica one-handed flips it right down the line, right in the corner. Listen. He's hoping it's a good edgy. That looks pretty good. Yes, it does. That's her first ace. It was a great return. It really was a very, very big return to remember. Now, yesterday that was going to pretty much a slice-gross backhand. Now it's going to a rifling Sillas forehand. Watch this in down the line. Good preparation. Not a big backswing. Patented Navratilova save off the backhand volley. She does this better than anyone in the women's field. She has an underspin on it and keeps good control of the ball. She went wide down the center and right into the body. That keeps them a little confused. You have to come in against something better than that. Another show of athletic ability. Watch this. She jumps both feet off the ground and pops that backhand volley cross-court angle for a winner. Pretty good precision there. That will pump them up. Now, Martina has three break points. Remarkably good. I mean, that's been the whole match. Navratilova trying so hard to create things. Sillas having to react. And so far, the reactions have been better than the creations. The USTA's National Tennis Center in New York. That will be in it. Strong match. I spoke with Chris Everett this morning, who's just weeks away from having her child. She sounded terrific. She's in very good health. And she said yesterday's two women's matches she saw were two of the best quality women's matches she'd ever seen. She couldn't believe the power, the pace. She tried in vain to talk with Martina. She did get a hold of Jimmy Connors last night. Here's the point of the match. Martina with a half-volley. Watch how quick this gets. Sillas serving. 4-1. Second set. She won the first set in the tie break. The winner here of the US Open singles title. $400,000. Another rifle championship point. Monica Sillas. Monica headed over. Her father, brother. Ladies and gentlemen, our 1991 women's US Open champion, Monica Sillas.
