#5 Best US Open Finals Ever : Women's 1989 Final
Steffi Graf def. Martina Navratilova
3-6, 7-5, 6-1
The guard changed again, this time with the 20-year-old German upstaging the 33-year old Czech turned American citizen.
Graf was never better than in ’89, compiling an 86-2 record and winning 14 of the 16 tournament she entered.
She met Navratilova in three finals, including the US where she dropped the opening set before wearing out Martina in the end.
The video clip below is a bittersweet one, and not just because Navratilova appears to have stolen one of Andre Agassi's mullet wigs to wear for the final.
As beautifully played as the tennis is between these two all-time legends, the opening shot of the southern end of Manhattan Island, with the World Trade Center towers gleaming in the late summer sunshine, remains a grim reminder of what thoughts will forever turn to come early September in New York City.
