Bonus - The Day Steffi Almost Toppled The Queen: US Open 1986

Relive the electric 1986 US Open semifinal where 17-year-old Steffi Graf went toe-to-toe with world No. 1 Martina Navratilova and came within a swing or two of the biggest win of her young career. We walk point-by-point through that epic third-set tiebreak, break down Steffi’s ruthless run through the draw, and revisit contemporary reports from New York that crowned her Martina’s “natural successor.” A deep-dive for tennis fans, Graf obsessives, and anyone who loves high-stakes, coming-of-age sports drama.
