For the second time in this clay-court season, Novak Djokovic and Steffi Graf came out on top at the same tournament. They previously both won in Munich, Germany. Graf and Martina Navratilova battled for the right to become the first women’s player to win three tournaments, and Graf prevailed in straight sets. Djokovic held off an upset-minded Michael Chang in the men’s final. One tournament remains before the French Open.
