#2 Best US Open Finals Ever : Women's 1995 Final
Steffi Graf def. Monica Seles
7-6(6), 0-6, 6-3
In 1993, Steffi Graf and Monica Seles had the hottest rivalry in tennis, but it was cut short when psychopath Gunter Parche stabbed Seles in the back at a match, costing her two years of her career.
Seles returned to the tour in 1995 and reached the final by eliminating Jana Novotna and Conchita Martinez. After winning just one Slam in 1994, Graf had re-established her dominance in the sport with wins at the French Open and Wimbledon.
Seles led the first set 6-5 and was convinced she had scored an ace for the lead but it was called a fault and she squandered the lead.
Believing her opponent done mentally, Graf relaxed and was destroyed 6-0 in the second set.
Graf fell behind 0-30 in the first game and at break point in the third set, but overcame both deficits to take the 6-3 win.
