The only blemish on the top seed's record in Slam events this year was a final-roun- d loss to Arantxa Sanchez Vicario in the French Open. "It's very difficult to play in the four tournaments and do the best you can," said Graf, who held a 3 lead in the third set of the final at Paris. "I'm very happy I won another three. That's incredible. "There was nothing I could do about (the French). I was sick at the end of the tournament and I lost too much energy." The match Saturday ended with an ace on a second serve by Graf, who then sprinted to the courtside boxes to hug her father and several others. She also signaled to a group of fans high in the stadium that had been chanting her name throughout the 1 hour, 50 minute match. Graf has won seven of the last the third woman eight majors to do so and first since Margaret Smith Court in 1969-7- 0 while Navratilova hasn't won one since the 1987 Open, when she beat Graf for the title.
