A post-match courtside interview with Steffi Graf following her victory over Kimiko Date at the 1995 Lipton Championships, broadcast on ABC Sports.

Moments after the win, Graf joins the ABC crew to reflect on her performance, her mindset during the match, and her continuing drive to compete at the highest level. Calm, composed, and characteristically humble, Graf discusses both the challenges of facing Date and the importance of focus and preparation.

This brief but memorable conversation captures Steffi Graf at a transitional point in her career — still dominant, still elegant, and still defining what professionalism looked like in women’s tennis.

Digitally preserved from an original ABC 1995 broadcast, this interview is a snapshot of classic late-’90s sports coverage and one of the game’s greatest champions.
