That is a myth - or a lie, depending on the poster.
Graf still was down one set and one break in the second 30 minutes AFTER this "incident". The matched turned only THEN.
Maybe Hingis has a long fuse .... ?
Or the Graf detractors are simply stone-dumb??

You're avoiding my main point. Either Hingis or Graf changed their game substantially. Logically speaking, they didn't increase their talent or ability over the course of a match.
Graf would NOT have won had both of them had been playing like they were the first set and a half. So the outcome of the match wasn't based completely on skill and ability.
What was that h2h stat you like to post: 5-2 Graf against Seles? The two times Seles beat Graf during that period, were they because Seles was better? You don't think so.
So hypothetically speaking, if Serena was to play, idunno, Henin, on clay, there is a chance Serena would win, no? Regardless of whether she was 'better".
This is silly anyway. You turned a simple statement by me into an argument. Nadal is obviously better than Federer on clay; yet rather than respond to the OP with this, you focus on MY comment. Why? And also, notice how I said that Federer's chances of winning the FO were slim. Yet then I said:
And personally, I think it'd be extremely cool if both him and Serena accomplished the Grand Slam in the same year- that'd truly be history in the making.
I didn't even voice my opinion of Serena's chances of winning the FO. For all you know, I could have thought her chances were as bad as Federer's.
