Monica Seles stabbed: 20 years ago today

"Unemployed," especially.

 

Was he unemployed? Did he stab her? Then unemployed sicko is applicable.

 

Mathematically impossible, actually, since she never won Wimbledon. She had won 6 of the previous 8 majors (and 7 of 9). Incredible feat, but it's hard to "own" someone you beat 1 out of every 3 times.

 

Stabbing an athlete to help her rival proves it.

 

I blame Bruce Jenkins; bad source. Anyways, I believe Seles was on the upswing and would have dominated Graf for the coming years (as much as I adored and respected Graf).

Unfortunately, we'll never know because Parche took this away from us.

 

I don't think Seles' game was as well-rounded as Graf's. Graf was able to make the adjustment to playing on grass better. I don't know that Seles would have ever won Wimbledon, unless it was one of those years when Graf and Navratilova lost early and Seles got a real good draw.

But, hey, Conchita Martinez won Wimbledon in 1994, beating Martina in the final, no less, so I suppose anything is possible. Still a definite hall of famer.

 

Graf won Wimbledon because she had a big 1st serve and had a very tough slice backhand (in addition to the huge forehand.)

Seles would have won Wimbledon at some point because although she was a baseliner, she hit the ball on the rise, which was perfect for grass.
