It just kills me that Arantxa lost this match. But Steffi showed to be a true champion by hanging in there. Arantxa almost had an amazing year in 1996. After this heart breaking loss she reached the finals of Wimbledon, San Diego, The Candian Open, The Olympics and Japan. But she didn’t win one of those finals. I think that killed her spirit in a way she never full recovered from (she only reached one more grand slam final after reaching 8 in three years).

I remember watching this match. It was very close, Arantxa lead 5-2 or 5-3 in the third set, only to lose 10-8. She cried after the match.
Yes, in the end Steffi won 10-8. Unfortunately I have this match till 7-7 🙁
oh yeah i know, this went to 10-8 in the third…..
why is it too long?
