1990 Tennis Monica Seles Martina Navratilova Part 2

[Music] very efficient and if you watch her new serve she comes back chest level and shortens the swing so doesn't have too much just good good pickup game Nala she leads now in the second set four games to two she's serving a lot better this set she's hitting a lot with a lot more Authority Monica's not able to set up as much back year old I think she's very lucky her parents coroli and uh Mrs CIS I don't know what her first Esther they come they travel with her and her brother's ultan Martina Got The Good Hop there and took advantage and also her dog Astro travels with her so she kind of brings a little bit of home with her so she's much more happy and of course with all the endorsements and the people pulling on you this way and that you have to have a good Entourage people to protect you n toova leads the tour in animal Entourage Esther and Koli sell us a cartoonist he is and a fine tennis coach but you know Tracy you you did a lot you had a lot of stuff like Monica but you also had your brothers Doug and Jeff and John and and Pam and your mom and your pop and d and you had your own little Entourage and you handled yourself just as well thanks 30 all 30 all to expand NAA tvia on this trip has brought her five dogs and two cats staying with a friend in San Fernando Valley who also has six animals of her own the Murphy's and Sherman Oaks a veritable Zoo good serve yeah it's just like the efficiency of Nolan Ryan age 43 throwing close to 100 miles an hour Martina not in that category yet but very efficient and if you watch her new serve she comes back chest level and shortens the swing so doesn't have too much just good good pickup game naala she leads now in the second set four games to two NAA leads 14 she's serving a lot better this set she's hitting a lot with a lot more Authority Monica's not able to set up as much got back dead [Applause] all right now she's got a great back hand not so much on the front side but when she had her chance there she ran around the ball and hit it with the two-handed side as you watch okay now she moves around it is that because then she can move it further with that hand get more angle on that side maybe it's interesting Tracy Monica strings her racket as tightly as anybody correct she's apparently stringing it at 75 lbs this week and the maximum is what 80 the tightest I've ever heard is BL Borg at 80 mhm I understand yesterday she wanted it strong at 80 they attempted it and two rackets snapped 15 1530 it's her second double fault she's just changed to a new racket this is their first tournament with the Yonex sure it's going to take a little bit of time to get used to it complely looks like it's St there at least 3 4 minutes she really actually I think it's helped her serve a lot it's lighter in the head 1540 double fault again I beg your pardon I was going with the chair on fire second serve right right down the middle Martina hit that coming in shot right down the middle and cut down Monica's angles now it's 1540 unforced errors oh goodness gracious that's so far today thank [Applause] you tried the drop shot and missed game n toova she leads finding this match up at one set a piece like to remind you that next weekend Prime Ticket continues its coverage of professional tennis as we present the Northstar Bank tennis Challenge from Westberry New York this great tennis action begins on Friday at 8:00 p.m. and continues with the semi-finals on Saturday at 1:30 p.m. with the finals starting at 11: Sunday morning the norstar bank tennis challenge next weekend on Prime Ticket 89 that was a big serve in my opinion her serve is much more efficient the economy of movement she used to have a little bit off on jerky motion she was always good but if she got off a little bit her timing would could go very very sour cuz the toss was much [Applause] higher she's returning extremely well she was practicing that a lot in practice today her coach would just hit serve after serve after serve and she just hit returns boy that's tough four face that serve had a lot of spin on it moved away from Monica here's a big difference between these to as we watch this again here's the ace seven out of nine winners for Martina are with her forehand 12 out of 14 for celus have been with the backand there are you don't want to let this game slip away cuz you're up five 2 he lose that service break and start thinking that thing singing got a little Pace on it didn't it uh-oh uh-oh boy that's 4 [Applause] that's there's Craig Carden Martinez Coach it's really there's Judy Nelson on his right designs Martinez clothes break point you know what's of interest to Me Trace is that when she has missed volleys on key points it's almost always been into the net in The Wimbledon she's had a couple Setters and two years ago against Stephy into the net usually forehand CIS is able to break her winning the game now 53 na toova second set I can't remember seeing so many clean winners off the return like that it's like she picks a spot on the line and she has a magnet it yeah against na toova who serves beautifully I'd say it's not bad most of us just want to get out of the way oh my oh my if I were Martino right now I'd take that ball and get into the net any way I could at least force her to win passing me but don't let her beat my brains out from the Baseline cuz she willina content to stay back and it worked that time that was interesting I think she could have taken a couple of those and gone to the net but she chose to stay back it's fascinating to me if she can beat Monica from the baseland I'll go down and salute her you know Monica has a different attitude on some of her serves today like that last one she just got it in and kind of was stepping back when she finished her serve whereas yesterday she was really going for her serve wa it's out I did not hear a call but it's 30 all when Monica goes in that it's like going into the men's bathroom or something and making a mistake you know she just has the funniest look on her face like whoops think I'm in the wrong place [Music] double fall 30 40 Monica Third and break point again she just took that ball and hit it behind her back she's not very happy with herself but they better hold up there for a minute set point for Martina big ch [Applause] artina breaks back and wins the second set we're all even at one set a [Applause] piece the difference in the two sets what do you think I think it depended on who was more offensive in the first set Monica had control of a point she was hitting deeper she was running Martina all over and Martina was hitting Too Short Martina serve improved in the second set and she was more dominant in the points Nick let's take a look at Match Point again or I'm sorry Set Point again if you will well I think that if Martina just had her radar eyes on that thing she said if you give me anything that I can get in on top of that I'm not allow something to pass an opport pass great play and by the way I think that uh also Martina decided hey my Strokes are getting better from the Baseline and I'm not going to get killed from the base I think I can at least stay in there for my opportunity our score going into the decisive set as this match is now about 1 hour old 64 C in the first set na toova coming back 6es and you got a right hand that's got it's telling the brain hey I got to do something unique here I'm Watch Team hits this Top Spin Monica usually hits it up so high that's why she's able to hit it down Deuce again I'll tell you 16 years old going on 50 I I have to revise my estimate here I mean she has been down three and come back with some super play great shot you're right about that VI she is so poised out there she acts like she's been on the circuit for years and yet right before the they went on court her mom was in there fixing her hair and then you kind of remember gee she is only 16 years old break point but this could be the finals of the US [Music] Open sir think stephie's going to argue with argue with you there Vic yeah but it just could be possible yeah it's just a possible situation have you seen the draw no they don't make it till next week I don't think she's smart she's Smart Plus that could really mix up Martino's Rhythm could double fold easy on a key point out this is the fifth Deuce of this game and that was close oh that was very close I love it when it's this close Vic it's a great match boy does she get down low for that forehand that was terrific she gets down just about as low as anybody out there Martina comes in and hit a hits a nice Cris baly look at her Bend her knees and stay down through the shot and she yelled yes she just hits bullets yep saluted avova comes right back though it's good Anticipation by Martina she was right there okay just sum up the whole match right in this game know two people pulling out all stops anything they got six Deuce Martina could use a big first serve right now pulling down so bad you said you're pulling down so bad her head her shoulders reach up [Applause] you know V Martina's volley wasn't that bad I was just going to say Co me that was a good volley the and you heard the pop on the volley you know it was a fair pretty crisp shot well Martina knows she's up look at that when you get passed like that Tina know she's in a battle here Advantage cus there's that big serve gotten her out of so many tough situations over the years guess what Happened on the Way to the Forum in Rome got a couple of wild animals out there fighting for their life we're reduced for the seventh time this game 41 see if she stays in or goes back tough to [Applause] Ser it all boils down to that first serve she gets in trouble and she gets on the defensive second serve Monica attacks gives her another break point oh game to sell us and if that's a harbinger of things to come in this final set as Vic Bren would say we will have a barn burner huh Mara is so angry at herself you know Vic she missed another forehand volley into the net right it's just you know when uh when youngsters have a tendency to do that and we try to get them to out there that we set balloons up and things at a certain height over the net and hit low volleys so they realize they can play that baby up there a foot or something but that shows just how tight you rush for it a little bit and your racket goes straight out instead of giving you a little bit of that lift you need right I think she needs to get under the ball more let's check the second set statistics one by naara toova and there in lies the story 64 Martina and 58 for Monica you really want to be around the 70% Mark and nine unforced airs for Monica I think that's the most she's made this week yeah well at least since it rained last time in LA that's right Martina Nava's record this year is 45 and three and of course one of those matches was against Monica celis and Trace you know that's very similar to Stephie graphs record you know that I think stephie's like 47 and three or 46 and three so look what you got going in there and then right behind that and you start taking a look at celus who says hey look don't count me out baby I might might want the French Open I might be in the middle of this sandwich that's what makes this year's US Open coming up so exciting because I think there's three distinct um people that could really win it and then a few more On The Fringe that have a possibility ooh what did I see there Trace that's the softest 70 mph stay she said stay with it she kind of pulled around on the ball well she is so right the ball does not know that you're in a tough match it only knows if you address it properly swing properly uh nope that was a strange choice of shots there trace an underspin forehand shot you know she made that last time about 1966 I would say i' say the grunt is coming on now Trace it's louder on the ser 40 15 405 although your studies Vic show that the grunt at least in tennis does not make a difference well it it we're saying psychologically it could make a lot of difference and it forces people to breathe but when we did studies on speed it did not change anything was not significant look out that's where Martina has to be we've talked about it so many times before she has to come in with that great coming in shot she hit it right down the middle Monica didn't have the angle pow out game cus and she leads in the final set two games to love she's making some unforced airs she's got to figure out how she got back into that second set and won It Martina just doubled over what's think she was just angry at herself thing come on she just couldn't scream it real loud I'd suggest for Martina right now a double grunt that'll work too right but you know talking about that grunt we found that some players use a grunt for rhythm and it and it really helps them but we found some people who grunted lost power some who grunted gained a little but insignificant classic tennis right there slice into that backhand Corner hit the volley into the other other side and first serving Trace which I think so important that you're talking about getting that serve in that allows her to get in there where she's the most comfortable still got a chance yes naaa trying to anticipate which way it would go and she guessed wrong but that's smart play to guess cuz when you're you're in this case you could be 0 for 80 but if you guess you're 50/50 so you're jock King there smart went the other way 40 another good serve it's really the difference in the first game of the third set Martina didn't serve well 85 milph we when we did Jimmy Connors he averag 73 mph when he was the best player in the world what a return Martine is also with the wind now especially going this way the wind is now blowing to Monica cel's left side so she throws in a slice it's going that the way that flag was blowing there is out of way to not Monica's left side and she went down the center still first serve he's blowing a little bit towards us also game n toova as it is good for the ace and NAA moves to within one game trailing one2 in the final set of the championship match of the Virginia Slims of Los Angeles we'll be right back after this Bullseye again Martina said that's too good I guess when her dad Koli painted those little Tom and Jerry cartoon characters on the balls that she would practice hitting and really paid off and Martinez shot was not bad at all it wasn't that short [Music] Martina I mean when Monica has that Target she just picks her side and goes for it I would say it's not bad she's Louise but each time if I were Martina I'd spend my time learning to read her shots Jame cus she now leads three games to one you know you're going to be playing this girl a lot I'd be doing doing a lot of highspeed filming of her you know Monica and then looking at for every little queue you could get because you're going to have to buy milliseconds against Monica unbelievable she's there every time has good anticipation love the game not bad un Trace I mean look at this that was a nice deep shot back there still she could do nothing about it 90 mph big serve she could use one right now he loses this game yuck oh no that was indecision right there she didn't know whether to let it go and maybe it would go out and she decided to hit it at the last second that was kind of a lazy shot well in my opinion when you're in that position drop it buy some time and loosen the arm but she had a stiff arm overhead boy that even if it goes in it's not too effective not against Monica out out 1530 me she miss one do you believe it I think that's exactly the way Martina's feeling right now it's like what can I do she's playing so well unforced erors even but the name of the game though is passing shots at the key time for Monica and Martinez not playing that poorly and first serves for Martina you said it Vic you said It Martina doesn't get that first serve in she's a dead duck sitting up there Martina moves I mean Monica moves inside the Baseline twists everything into the shot so much power and CIS breaks her again go is up 4-1 here in the final set aova we think this over and so will Monica celis we'll be right back in a [Music] moment Cena Garrison fourth and Gabriel sabatini fif what about Stephie graph missing from this tournament but she'll be there at the Nationals she will she played last week she won the tournament play in San Diego she did win it convincingly great shot over and over again people have asked me if Monica wins this match will she take over martine's number two position the answer is no she won't because the rankings are done for the whole year from this week from last week last year they are accumulating exactly in other words from this date last year to this date today right it take the whole year 29 that tells you a little bit doesn't it 16 out 153 1530 hey 13 is the difference on that and 13 is not a very nice number for Martina winners Paul little bit late on that forehand she hasn't been successful but she's had the shot and and that's going to if had she been making that shot all day this could be a very different match but in my opinion Trey she's looking up early when she's making that shot she's not staying with that ball on the service return lovely boy what [Music] touch fans like that [Applause] one okay watch this one she hits it it rolls not bad 30 40 tra as you know Back Spin stop voling there's that forehand again she missed you know it might be that Monica is serving left-handed and you know there just aren't that many left-handed servers on the circuit it is different it's a different spin coming from that left side ruce Look Out Boy it could all be wrapped up in this point a 5-1 lead would be awfully tough when you're playing against a Mortar Board like this one I mean she can keep that ball in play and is relentless [Applause] look out game sers and she may have I say may have an insurmountable lead now to one Craig Carden trying to cheer up Martina tell her to keep fighting still in there you're always in there in a tennis match that's what's so great can always come back just like Zena Garrison almost did yesterday the crowd wanting her to come back think they want to see more tennis terrific through it all she maintains a wonderful sense of humor say Martine not been far enough out in front and pulling her head down God great volley great volley you know I was going to say how well Monica stayed down on her shot and then Martinez stayed even more down bent her knees on that volley this is the way that her coach Billy Jean I'm sure has taught her to hit that backhand volley she comes in beautifully moves beautifully you missed it she hit another beautiful one hey how about that now the this is what she did not do on a few shot she didn't come in with that authority of which she's she has such great Fame great serve she's been on fire this particular game 4 love 40 [Applause] love that'sa sis lead the final set five games to two Tracy Vic we see Monica celos of Yugoslavia great young player Stephie graph of Germany great young player where are the the young American Tracy Austin types uh the young Billy Jean Kings what about the American women tennis players are there any budding stars on the horizon there and and how do we continue to develop them well they are doing that now in the United States ten Association and others are going out into the school systems and getting that job done I think Jennifer capriotti obviously I mean many people think that she's going to dominate tennis one day but in my opinion the what really happened was Tracy Austin Stephie graph Billy Jean King and all those people did so much for the game that now they're 10,000 good players and as a result it's very difficult to pick anybody that tells you that somebody's going to dominate this game I think they're really going to be wrong you know Tony there are a lot of great young girls out there right now of course Vic talked about Jennifer capriotti she's only 14 and she has so much potential and Mary Joe Fernandez is also from the United States she lost in the semi-finals yesterday there's young Stephanie rahy I think there are a lot of girls and as Vic said the USA is getting much more involved so we hope to see some some young ones coming up me include a a Young Chris ever to that list of Monica's parents travel with her everywhere very supportive probably very nervous right now 15 that's the difference to whether you know he has to carry a check for 28,000 or 7 something, it make you a little nervous o [Music] smart there that drop shot you talked about if you don't make it perfect you're you're dead yeah and she's now to take a low percentage shot and then at a time like this you're not in a gambling situation you lose this game man you're in the locker room right after you get a big check excuse me that's but not the best choice of shots in my opinion boy Hannah to Martina lot of pressure she still threaded that needle down the line 1530 not easy to do when you're hanging on for your life you know sometimes Vic this is the easiest time to hit out because you're so far down in a match you just go for it it's when if she was to get it back 54 that's where there's more tension double break point for na toova I know that sounds ridiculous oh that's what sound smart drop shot l boy you can you believe how vulnerable Monica looked when she came to the net it literally looked like she was playing a different sport I mean from a very commend look to just hopeless up there at the net but how do you get her up there now Martina used that drop shot with some guts got her up there may get her thinking again she's gotten one service break back she stays alive so six things well the crowd loves Martina it's wonderful to see she fought crowds for so long I think everybody has a tremendous respect for Martina she's won everything and won everything so many times I think even more than that trace for me is people don't realize how many good things she's done charity events and things uh-oh Look Out Boy Martina wasn't going to let that call slip away Martina is putting her hand down flat like it was on the line and Monica saying it was out oo very close let's see it again to be expected I guess Boy watch this Monica wants to call us out it was close it was 305 tell [Applause] oh Martina's pumping herself up now telling herself to come on it's funny sometimes it takes your you have to get really down before you pump yourself back up out again game now toova she closes to within one CIS leads five games to [Applause] four as the crowd Rises to its feet in appreciation of two great players will be back 54 and na toova pulled a switch in the middle of this final set and her game changed dramatically she's ignited in the last two games can she keep it up she's playing with more Authority and Trac I think we ought to do a number on oursel she misused a drop shot but then the next one she used a Beau used it beautifully tactically so so I take my hat off to Martina for [Music] [Applause] that W Martinez finally she took the 4 hand went down the line she had missed about five out of five that is class as you say you're down four five it's harder to do it now ooh what's Happening Here out love 30 comes down to all the marbles right now now I think Monica's going to hit that serve and then she said wait a minute I've thrown in two put her in the game she couldn't do it look for Martina to come in you're right there look what happens obviously Monica was looking for it too you know I think Vic on that one Martina did the right thing Monica just hit it too well you bet can't argue with that give credit to Martin she hit a nice shot 1530 oh no no no high foul ball out of play she makes all those tennis players out there feel good oh God this is not the time can't get any closer than this 30 all okay little pressure boy Martina comes in on this take my hat off here she goes woo what a play Under Pressure unbelievable she went for it at 30 all I tell you this is vintage navat [Applause] toova there's that one she keeps missing on that ad Court she's late she got to get around the ball and through it chuckle for Martina and you know when she was out hitting with her coach Craig C she kept coaching get your racket back early get your racket back she was coaching the coach to do the same thing F okay she can pull it off twice he dead did yep what a return it jammed her in her body and she still was able to come up with such a great shot and Monica put a lot more Pace on that second serve but Martina hit a wonderful shot [Applause] Bara breaks and we're even whoa think I even heard Martina grunting on that last shot what tennis everybody is standing up yes indeed well I'll tell you I am I salute Martina I salute Monica I mean they're still out there pounding that baby but Martina had many opportunities to lay down and dive she was down she did not do Vic down 51 she's back serving goodness gracious the people would pay 7,000 a ticket for this match what a what a pick up by Martina good hands just to get it but to get it and get it back deep really firm this is usually where Monica tries to attack get on the offensive exactly like that it'sit one and then it sets out the opportunity for her to hit it in the other [Music] [Applause] Corner well she needed that one don't drop your chin now she manages a smile but she's not happy she was pushing but Monica nailed her on the inside but she kind of froze on that one 1530 [Applause] [Music] uhoh out oh no the wind carried that long she hit it but boy that's a tough shot bringing that UND Spin and that turbulence on the bottom of the ball has a tendency to force it to Car double break point now for CIS Martinez been in tough water before great serve and she's swimming pulling her wide to that forehand she's still in there every time you go to counter down here's where the stuff is for me can she come up there crack a second sir cuz she knows Monica is just going to take the hair off of it oh no two forehand Vols in the net just in that game game cus and she now leads 65 well Trace six5 4 hand volley into the net on the key points maybe Monica knows that because she certainly goes back into that forehand side low if she can talk about having your back against the wall narat toova did came back tied it and now your backs to the wall again sure is next following tennis professional football makes its debut on Prime Ticket as the Dallas Cowboys tackle the Los Angeles Raiders all the action begins next so be sure to join us for the NFL preseason style it's the Cowboys and the Raiders next only on Prime Ticket I was just about to gulp one here to to Tracy uh Trace now Monica's having a little trouble serving that last game that got her up to 5'5 she lost it so her memories go up now to saying hey look I haven't served well for about three games what do you think she's going to be doing out there now this is when you have to tell yourself to just go for it because usually when she was hitting it in the net it was because she was pulling her head down kind of hitting a nervous serve in order to get it in you've got to reach up snap the wrist and just go for it but you know Trace what often happens is people get it up to 55 their way down and then immediately lose the next game that happens over and over again too much of a let down [Music] pulled her head up just as she hit that ball race the racket hit it on the frame 15 love outou 15o 15 all good ey boy Martina has hit a couple of pretty forceful shots there 15 30 well now I haven't seen her do that I mean that she just went limp on that maybe she's tired maybe she's nervous I think it's the second one great angle that's remarkable ball carried so far out of the Court Martina never had a prayer well you throw that high bouncer to and if she's set she increases that angle so much Monica is dynamite if you let her get inside that court on a high ball well there's where you need Top Spin if you're going to hit a high ball this is where Martina last time when it was four all came in on the second serve see if she does it [Applause] yes wo I knew that coming in shot wasn't going to quite do it well I think I would have gone down the middle there Monica's parents and we are at Match Point don't count Martina out Bo she has come back from the real graveyard [Applause] dce love it love it what a match everything we've all heard about sports right here oh hit behind her she got down on that forehand volley really well Advantage naat toova here's the end of the point comes in and wrong foots Monica she was going the other way game naaa we go to the tiebreaker wooo and another standing ovations these two marvelous tennis [Applause] [Music] players although I must say it's a a partial crowd for navat toova it truly is what's of interest to me is not it's that they were having trouble closing it out when they were ahead but when they've played so beautifully from behind but one of them is going to end that in just a second the first player to get seven points and win by two [Music] wins oh did she turn early ooh too eager to get back into court the ball doesn't care about those problems CU you got to treat the ball with great respect the serve now goes to celus and the serve will alternate every two brilliant that was not a high percentage shot but she got away with it a let cord drop shot in the tie breaker oh Martina was on the run there she wasn't even set it's tough shot oh everybody's on their feet I can't believe it Tracy Austin applauded that one well she read the shot finally and and then had and it was hit so well but she still made it boy you knew she was coming in on this look the last ounce of work that's what you worked that extra half hour for in the gym Tracy I agree that's weight work on your wrist right there uhoh forehand again nous forehand undecided yep [Music] to all that wind is coming up he got to hand it to him goodness gracious but I hand it to to Martina she went in on that second SE she said I'm going for it she went after 32 Lord do they deserve a [Music] salute after six points they will change sides it's a tough shot to go for right there wasn't high percentage she was way out of cour can't go for the winner then but Monica hit a great serve crowd loves it that's what they came here for and are they being entertained all these photographers are jocking to get on the other side of the Court where Monica is uhoh they better get him down there fast and Monica is looking in that direction unbelievable what do you think Trace awesome tennis just getting better boy she really is uncorking it there and then yes yes yes 34 third set tiebreaker they're back on serve in this tiebreaker nice her seventh Ace for all remember you need seven points you must win by two boy this is why these two players go to the bank on Monday morning you know always there on Sunday for these [Applause] [Music] reasons they are into this match they're pumping their fists after each point and Trace it's so hard to take that high volley and hit back down the line it's not an overhead as you know and you're always even when you're hitting it you don't feel good about it and then to take it and go down the line one de and you're off and you're short about 50 [Music] [Applause] foul two match points a Le cord winner on the line on the line boy she yell yes when that baby was just clearing we talked about back to the Wall's back is in the wall right now [Applause] gutsy gutsy she's not dead woohoo you're right Vick she seems to come up with her gutsier shots when she's down Martinez Coach well yeah but the guy's going to have white hair this time tomorrow so get your last good look at Craig Monica's parents this is when you have to come up with a great first serve [Applause] looks like David guils on the line he's a fine lines person been there before Oh My it again they take s yes six all in the mar is running to the other side hey I say she's getting ready for Flushing Meadows baby wimbl and was no fluke she keeps getting up off the canvas to come back this crowd Ador It Martina is acting like she's a boxer out there it's amazing she keeps her sense of humor at this time Tracy she's fighting like a boxer [Applause] tell she has no choice because Monica does not lay down and die either let's give credit to him [Applause] absolutely WI [Applause] oh no no oh no pulled it she pulled it at the last second her shoulder came around she didn't stay with the [Applause] ball I say he's going to have gray hair Vic oh give me a he and Craig card are going

defeating Martina navat alova in three sets with a third set tiebreaker eight points to six Tracy Austin is on court with the champion let's go to them now thanks Tony Monica you can't get a match closer than that how did you feel out there today oh I mean when I got to 51 I thought well this is it and then she just kept coming back and I mean I just at five all I thought well it's unbelievable to come back and then when I broke her I thought well I have her now and then again I didn't have her so it's really an on andof Match but there so much excitement I couldn't let go for a minute and can't believe that I won in such a close match well the US Open is only a week away how do you feel going into that well I'm feeling pretty much confident this win can help me a lot because I beat on a hard court the open will be totally game and I hopefully I can play a little better there than here because it's a grand slam it would be a tough competition I think between Stephie Martina and myself great playing this week good luck in the open back to you Tony Tracy thank you very well done and we'll be back with a final word in just a moment 64 3676 and I don't believe it's hyperbole to say that this was one of the great tennis matches you will ever see Tracy Austin your final thoughts everybody was standing on their feet at the end it was so close 86 in the final tiebreaker and it was such a great match because they they won with winners there weren't too many unforced airs and they played so well Vic could we have had a better Prelude to the US Open than this one it's very interesting to me because when they got ahead they were having a little bit more time trouble closing it out than when they were behind they really hit out much harder when they were behind but most important for me is a 16-year-old has now serve notice that Martina who played a beautiful match can still be had by Monica celis boy that's going to give her a great lift going into fleshing Meadows thank you both very much it was a pleasure working with you I look forward to doing it again and thank you very much for watching from the Manhattan Country Club in Manhattan Beach California for
