Chris Evert vs Steffi Graf: The rivalry's greatest match - 1989 Boca Raton!

EDITED FOR EVERT FANS: Steffi was at her very best, having won 48 straight sets since Nov &and only dropped 10 games in 4 matches prior to the final. Chris was well past her prime at 34 but was ready for the battle on her home court in Boca Raton. This is the only 3-set match they played, and is a much better representation of the Evert/Graf rivalry than their last confrontation at Wimbledon. Chris had played only 4 matches since April before that Wimbledon, so she was far from match tough & was not prepared to give Graf a fight worthy of their dynamics. But here&the match where fireworks were on display from both players. The crowd was chanting &or &depending on where you sat, and many linecall dramas interrupted play. Chris went into her ONLY career &Connors storming the chair&style moment!! So this is required viewing for Chrissie fans, despite having to take a tough loss. She didn&have the concentration, hunger, fearlessness, and undistractability of her younger years... but as this match shows, the Evert/Graf rivalry had absolutely stunning potential. (This match was played on hard court...the brown color makes it look like clay)
