We begin this week\\u2019s Tennis Re-Lived in 1992 when Gabriela Sabatini won her fourth title in Rome, beating Monica Seles in her prime in the final.

How come Sabatini had such a special connection with Rome? In what way did she manage to make Seles\\u2019 game seem a bit limited in that match? And why have Sabatini\\u2019s achievements faded from tennis conversation?

Then, we go back to 2006 to cover Rafael Nadal\\u2019s epic five set win over Roger Federer. In what way was Nadal kryptonite for Federer in this period? How has he developed his game since then? And might victory for Federer have changed the course of his rivalry with Nadal on clay?
