 ESPN.com - Australian Open 2002 - Capriati's rally the best in 113 years
Capriati's stirring 4-6, 7-6 (7), 6-2 victory for her second successive Melbourne crown and her third grand slam title in 12 months had tennis officials scouring their women's tennis record books.

The last time a woman saved a match point in a grand slam tournament final was at the French Open in 1962, when Margaret Smith saved one in the third set on the way to beating fellow Australian Lesley Turner 6-3, 3-6, 7-5.
