Thanks to the internet, tennis footage from years past is now available for younger fans to enjoy for the first time. Also, it is no less appealing to the older fans who can reminisce about and remember the good ol’ days of tennis.
Beginning today, we’re launching a new feature at On the Baseline, Blast from the Past. Periodically during each month, we will post a video clip of a crucial moment in tennis history, a funny scene with a legendary star, a hard-fought trophy achievement, a tear-jerking speech, and more!
It is fitting that we start this new addition with an offering from one of tennis’ greatest players. Steffi Graf was not known for her humor, but she did provide one of the most memorable on-court interactions with the crowd.
Without further adieu, enjoy Steffi Graf’s major proposal at the 1995 Wimbledon Championships!
Great idea! Great series! I can’t wait to see more blasts from the past.
Thanks Marija! I hope everyone enjoys the new feature!
That was sooooo cute! I’ve never seen or heard of this before. I like this feature. Good work!
It was actually Wimbledon ‘96.
