Seles just could not beat Graf at any grass court, indoor or fast hard-court tournament during her career.

Graf won 72 % of her matches against Seles when Seles was #1.

Remember, there had to be a REASON ... a MOTIVE ... for a Graf fan to stab Monica Seles .... Parche was not doing it just for kicks.

OR ... we could look to the results to UNDERSTAND why:

MONICA SELES CHAMPION STEFFI GRAF CHAMPION

1990 Tour Championships
1991 Australian Open
1991 French Open
------------------------------------ 1991 Wimbledon
1991 U.S. Open

1992 Australian Open
1992 French Open
------------------------------------- 1992 Wimbledon
1992 U.S. Open
1992 Tour Championships
1993 Australian Open
April 30 - Germany stabbing


Ranking:

#1 Monica Seles

She would have beaten her to pulps if the had made the USO finals.
She proved that by humiliating her at San Antonio 1991 when she beat Seles 6-4 6-2. And by beating her twice in USO finals in 1995 and 1996.

Then why was the stabbing so necessary anyway for the jealous german Graf fan to accomplished ?

Was it because Graf could not win more than 1 of the 5 biggest events in women's tennis during the years 1990-1993 while Seles won 2 of the 5 biggest events in women's tennis in 1991 and 4 of the 5 biggest events in women's tennis in both 1991 and 1992.

In fact, from the time that Seles started dominating the biggest events in women's tennis with her first win at the 1990 French Open, Graf was unable to win any of the 5 major events (except Wimby) in 1990, 1991, 1992 and 1993 until after Seles had been stabbed in April 1993.

It was not necessary.
Parche was a certified ******.

the fact remains Seles won 10 of the 12 major singles titles before a Graf fan LITERALLY resorted to stabbing undisputed world #1 Monica Seles in the back with a knife.

Pretty sad for Garf and her fans to have that as such a huge part of her history.

"... but many people seem to forget how close it was in the rankings at that time. I had the chance to regain the #1 spot anyway."

That is what Graf really said.


Ma'am... how close again ? LOL

Seles won more major titles in the 3 year period (12 for Seles vs. only 2 for Graf).

CLAY COURTS: MONICA SELES.

Seles was the better player on clay:

1990 French Open
1991 French Open
1992 French Open


INDOOR: MONICA SELES.

Seles won the biggest indoor event in 1990, 1991 and 1992:

1990 Tour Championships
1991 Tour Championships
1992 Tour Championships


HARDCOURTS: MONICA SELES.

Seles was the better player on hardcourts because she won the 2 biggest events on hardcourts 5 straight times:

1991 Australian
1991 U.S. Open
1992 Australian
1992 U.S. Open
1993 Australian


GRASS COURTS: STEFFI GRAF.


Graf won Wimbledon in 1991 and 1992 when Seles did not play the event in 1991 and she made the final round of 1992 ... so Graf has the better record on grass.

HARDCOURTS: SELES
INDOORS: SELES
CLAY: SELES
GRASS: GRAF
