There are so many double standards towards Steffi it is unbelievable.
Martina aged 28-32 was supposably "old" and not in her prime in 86-89 when Steffi began beating her (winning 7 of 10 encounters I believe), won more tournaments, spent more time at #1, and won 8 slams to only 4 that period for Martina. Even though Martina was the ultimate late bloomer, who had only TWO slams on her 25th birthday. Yet Steffi at the same age around 98-99 was still in her prime, even coming back from major reconstructive knee surgery which all but gave her a 40 year old body by that point. Naturally because she began losing some matches to Davenport, Hingis, and the Williams, that is what all want to believe.
Steffi was supposably already in her prime aged 16-18 in 86 and 87, even though her level of play in 88-90 showed a monstrous jump, and even though Seles, an earlier peaker than Graf, supposably wasnt even "prime yet" in 90-93 aged 16-19. Furthermore people like 19 year old Venus who lost 2 of 3 encounters to Graf in 99 was supposabaly "too young" "still a baby" against 30 year old, back from major surgery, Graf.
It is embarassing for Graf to lose a match to 34 year old Navratilova at the U.S Open and supposably proof prime Martina would dominate Graf. This despite it was Martina's first win over Graf in 4 whole years, and 1 of only 2 wins over 30 Martina managed against Graf in a whopping 7 more years of full time singles tennis on tour. Contrasted to Martina herself who in her prime lost 5 times to 33 year old or older Billie Jean King, including trouncings on grass and indoors to 35 and 36 year old King which she managed 4 games or less in each.
Steffi was lucky to face old haggish Martina in 86-89 but Seles showed what an amazing grass courter she was by barely beating 35 year old Martina at Wimbledon, the same Martina who lost to 15 year old Capriati and Conchita Martinez at Wimbledon around that same time.
Steffi is playing her best ever tennis in a period she has poorer records vs everyone in the top 10 (Sanchez, Sabatini, Seles, older than ever Navratilova, Chokevotna) than any other time in her career. No matter all the evidence says otherwise, everyone else just magically played better than ever and caused Steffi to have much poorer results in everyway during the best time of tennis of her whole career.
I could go on forever, but I am already laughing too hard typing it out.
