Monica Seles dominates the Australian, French, US Open from spring 90 to spring '93, winning 8 of the 9 contested slams during that time. Graf wins *none* of those. Zero The undisputed #1 player Seles then is stabbed by a german fan of #2 Graf who despairs Steffi ever winning those slams...

We are indeed lucky. It's very rare to see SERIOUS GOAT contenders play each other and are considered main rivals. Sampras versus Agassi was less exciting because it was obvious Sampras was the more superior player and always prevailed. Roger Federer versus Rafael Nadal is definitely one of...

My blood pressure zoomed up when Fed lost to Djokovic in the semi's. I felt he should have won that match.:(

Nadal's 9 Grand Slams at age 24....is the fastest pace anybody has ever accomplished in Men's Tennis HISTORY?:confused: On the women's side, I know for sure it is Monica Seles who holds the record winning 8 Grand Slams at 18 years old.

Rafael Nadal's Grand Slam Makes Him a Living Legend at Age 24 http://bleacherreport.com/articles/462268-2010-us-open-rafael-nadal-becomes-a-living-legend-at-age-24 He was first the greatest Spanish player ever. He was then the greatest clay-courter ever. He then won the greatest...

Bump................

yes martina went toe-to-toe with another all-time great (evert) and still came out with 18 slams. graff was blown away by seles until gunther intervened. makes me wonder how many slams martina woulda won if evert had been stabbed.

remember, graff faced far weaker competition. during her first golden run, from 87-90, her best competition was 32+ years old. from 93-96 a germ grafan cleared the field of her best competition, allowing her to mop up pathetic fields at the slams.

anyone who denies the obvious impact of the stabbing on slam results - graff hadn't won AO, or FO or USO since the late 80s (dawn of the 90s with the AO) and then suddenly started winning all of them as soon as Seles left - is a grafanatic or a nincompoop..........:lol:

are we supposed to believe that graff barely clinging on to wimbledon while teen seles was winning all the other slams was merely due to a graff slump. what happened to her motivation there? oh i forgot of course "the slump" is covered by other excuses. and of course there seemed to be no...

condi is that you...........? LMAO seles dominates the Aussie, French, US Open from spring 90 to spring '93, winning 8 of the 9 contested during that time. Graff wins *none* of those. Zilch . seles then is stabbed by a germ grafan who despairs steffi ever winning those slams again, and...

What could possibly be more obvious and decisive than the fact that Graff immediately won 3 different slams that she hadn't won in between 3.5 to 5 *years* as soon as the player who had been *dominating them* left the scene....:lol:

the secuirty lapse is absolutely inexcusable!!! one would think security would be more agile and fit to catch and subdue the person more quickly. this was a disaster; had the culprit had a weapon this could and would be a very different situation. i hope the tennis officials review this...

What happened to Monica Seles in Hamburg, Germany ( April 30, 1993) is one of the saddest and sorriest stories in sports. Seles was too nice to let it go and attempt making a successful comeback, but it was clear that the trauma of that incident was such that she was never the same again. Have...

Athletes deal with injuries all the time. But the psychological trauma suffered by any human after getting viciously attacked, that too on court, is too much to overcome. Anyone with a monkey's IQ can see that the attack all but finished Seles "mentally"...the wound on her neck was not life...

Almost Top Professional Tennis Players dont have a normal upbringing. Seles is more of the rule than the exception.

Of course, to the Grafan Steffi Graf is the greatest athlete of all, that COYOTE ugly game, that awful unorthodox forehand, that funny bunny hopping movement, that wicked weak slice KNIFE backhand! :)

Great News!!!!!!!!! :)

Grafan, this has been discussed ad nauseum and it always turns out badly for you. The "scandal" of daddy Graff hooking up with the stripper was known to Graff in the winter of 89/90. That of course was the biggest psychological blow, and it had zilch effect on her tennis. The 'media hunt' was...

It's astonishingly funny how the GraFans build up the "legendary" quality of those "daddy sex" distractions. As if no athlete has ever had a dad or mom or brother or sister embarrass the family by having affairs, getting busted for drugs, etc. Compared to some of the other "traumas" tennis...
