    Seles was certainly a very great player. But, even one considers the 2 years she lost by the stabbing: her game let her never win wimbledon. Not even when she wass at her best. When she rose to top Graf (wo was a real all round player with at least 4 victories at each slam) was within a crisis of her game and had personal problems (scandals about her father). Still, the matches between both were mainly very close. On the US Open 1995 (after Seles' break) both met in one of the best matches ever. Graf won...Graf won a Golden Slam. Seles never won in Wimbledon. ....Besides all that: ALL great players have periods of uprise and crisis and comeback. Monica played her best for three years (1991-1993). After the stabbing she still played some real great matches (wins over hingis, graf, williams) but was almost permanently injured (plus problems with her fathers death). That had nothing to do with the stabbing. Just because she had a break its not so sure that she would have played for a decade on that level. in fact, nobody ever did - neither Graf nor Navratilova nor Evert.......Plus: Seles' game was ideal on Grafs game (sliced backhand) but wasnt that good for both-side-power-players such as the williams... Since she was playing both sides doublehanded she was always forced to do one step more - in comparison to her opponents. also this explains why she wasnt that successfull anymore after her break.....So pls: I cant stand that argument anymore - what would have been if........She was/is a super great player - but certainly not the best ever.....

    Never in my life i wanted something so badly. After watching Monica Seles play i simply begged my mother for a racket to practise my double handed skills..I have never seen any other female tennisplayer, with that kind of intensity, and that kind of play...Yes her career got interrupted, but still she has achieved so much and is in my opinion the best who has ever played the game...

    Seles.She won 8 Slams as a teenager.Can anyone ver match it? She was dominating Slams,dominating Steffi in Slams.She cold have won at least 20 GS had she not been stabbed and Graf would have won around 13-15. If you watch all those GS matches of Seles,and compare with the best matchesof Graf,you will still find that Graf never had the intensity or power of Seles.
