最後幾句滿讓人感傷的...

13. Monica Seles

When Monica Seles was a girl, her father, Karolj, a cartoonist, encouraged her
to play tennis by drawing characters on the balls. Perhaps that's why the woman
with the Olive Oyl hairdo, Woody Woodpecker laugh, and superhero grunt ended up
with a bang-'em-on-the-head game straight out of Looney Tunes.

Nobody accused Seles of playing artistically. But the ferocity and accuracy of
her ground storkes- struck with two hands on both sides-- more than compensated
for her lack of imagination. She played the game with the mind-set of a
sharpshooter, cleaning lines and scoring bull's-eye winners that even the most
talented retrievers (Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario) or fleet atheltics (Steffi Graf)
couldn't run down.

Seles' game was so effective that when she won the 1993 Australian Open she had
just turned 19 and was champion at eight of the previous 12 majors. She was on
her way to tearing up the record books when, just months later during a match
in Hamburg, Germany, she was stabbed in the back by a madman. Although the
wound wasn't life-threthening, she was sidelined for more than two years,
during which time the hellbent little was transformed into a philosophical
woman. While she added one more Grand Slam title (the 1996 Australian Open) and
a dozen more quarterfinals of her resume, she never dominated again. Her fans
will always be left wondering, "What If?"  by Tony Lance
