Monica Seles
Monica Seles
I 1990 blev Seles den yngste French Open-mester nogensinde i en alder af 16 år. Hun fortsatte med at vinde otte Grand Slam-titler i single inden sin 20-års fødselsdag og var verdens nr. 1 ved årets udgang i 1991 og 1992. Den 30. april 1993 blev hun imidlertid offer for et angreb på banen, da en mand stak hende i ryggen med en 23 cm lang kniv; Seles vendte ikke tilbage til tennis i over to år. Selv om hun havde en vis succes efter at have vendt tilbage til tennistouren i 1995, herunder en fjerde Australian Open-titel i 1996, var hun ikke i stand til konsekvent at reproducere sin bedste form. Hun spillede sin sidste professionelle kamp ved French Open i 2003, men trak sig først officielt tilbage i februar 2008.

In 1990, Seles became the youngest ever French Open champion at the age of 16. She went on to win eight Grand Slam singles titles before her 20th birthday and was the year-end world no. 1 in 1991 and 1992. However, on April 30, 1993, she was the victim of an on-court attack, when a man stabbed her in the back with a 9-inch (23 cm) long knife; Seles did not return to tennis for over two years. Though she enjoyed some success after rejoining the tour in 1995, including a fourth Australian Open title in 1996, she was unable to consistently reproduce her best form. She played her last professional match at the 2003 French Open, but did not officially retire until February 2008.
