Couldn't agree more. Wonderful player, and a genuinely nice person. One of the saddest episodes was when this huge young star's life was shattered, but she came back with courage, and what I most admire about her, no bitterness. She has devoted her post retirement life to helping others. If anyone deserves happiness, it's Monica, she has brought pleasure to so many.
her induction and Goran Ivanesivic's induction...are the only ones Ive ever taken time to watch. I actually got emotional when the crowd gave her a standing ovation...because I remember so vividly the match she played against Katerina Maleeva in Germany, when she was stabbed in between games. He didnt try to injur her...he attempted to murder her. And Monica, a very bright woman, knew it. So, when she won another Australian Open after her time away from the game, it was probably one of the more impressive feats in the history of sport. She was an incredible player...
WOW. What an amazing woman. Utterly perfect in her speech delivery and sentiment. The way she has risen back from the horrific attack is mind blowing. Bravo Monica Seles. One of the greatest tennis players EVER!
@Max E Thanks for your comment. Yes, Henin is in my All-Time Top 5, why? Her size, her strength, immense technique, consistency, style, grace, humility and cool under pressure.
An icon, a legend, one of the grittiest competitors of all time in any sport, AND an incredibly gracious, grateful, humble, open human being. A true great all around. Hard to appreciate for many in this age of pettiness and ego.
@Max E Is that when when Monika was 17 and 18, respectively, and before stabbing that would prevent her normal development on all surfaces and all paces?
@Max E People like you should really be ashamed of themselves. Monika's stabber probably sounded like you. There was NO greater talent in history than Monika Seles. It is more than certain that Stephanie, whom I respect a lot, would probably have had her GS toll halved by Monika.
@Max E how many slams did Austin + Jaeger + Hingis win combined? Did any of those three singlehandedly usher in the power tennis era, hitting on the rise off both wings as legions after Monica went on to do?
The greatest tennis player ever and a real genuine person who cared about others and never let championships go to her head. I wish that time would have been kinder to her and had allowed her to play out her destiny as best ever in all tennis records . She really was and remains the champ in my heart !❤
No doubt would of easily won 15-20 grand slams . She was so dominant from 1991- April 1993! Wining 7 of the 8 grand slams she played in. No doubt she would of dominated the tennis tour till around 1998/99!! Still in my opinion the the greatest female tennis player I have seen. A woman who not only changed the game but also a player who IMO was starting to get on top of and beat another all time great and at the peak of her powers Steffi Graf!!! Still like Monica said she did not come back as the same player in August 1995 but she still have a very good career. Her her first half of her career she won 32 titles 8 grand slams and her second half of her career 1 grand slam and 21 titles.
Certo lo e nessuno ha saputo giocare cosi in modo intelligente,e stata lei a inventare tennis moderno ed e una grande signora e persona Serena,Hingis,Venus o altre dopo di lei non si possono paragonare per signorilità.Loro sono palloni gonfiati.
She is the youngest player to get the first rank and stayed the longest period in the first rank after achieving it and her result against her main competitor before the miserable injury was 7-5. Thus her main competitor is not the best player in the history and except for the injury she would has become the best in the history, we always support you because you are the real legend of the tennis history
Did you see her as a 15 and 16 year old? She was adorable. Talked rapidfire like a machine gun, infectious giggle, and like any teenager tried out all the new hairstyles and fashions. There was a touching story that when Teddy Tinling died, who knew and dressed virtually every female tennis player since the 1920s, the 4 front pews at the church funeral service were reserved for all the expected lady players. Chris Evert and Navratilova were speakers, but not a single other female player came, other than Monica, who had won the French Open the week before, and probably had a busier schedule than most of the others. That tells you all you need to know about a really classy lady.
Amazing player...classy on and off the court! As far as Monica's "grunting" is concerned, it doesn't even compare to the cows being slaughtered when some of the later generation of female players....Sharapova, Azarenaka, Serena, Sabalenka just to name a few! We love you Monica!
She could have won many more grand slam titles, but for the unfortunate stabing incident by an uncivilized scoundrel. His reasoning for that cruel act was to see his favourite player Stefi Graf to be the winner always. Graf, of course was a great player, but lot of what could have been great about her game, is discounted ,not because of her but by her fan. I always used to think that many of this great players are great human beings and Monica Seles is definitely one among them.
Monica is greatest human being in the whole wta tour,you can see that when she speaks she is allways greatfuf and kind,she never ever try to minimize aversary,like Serena and sister.We love her for all this,and off course for being greatest player off all the time.
Well deserved.... Excuse me ...... 💖 to you Always GOAT. FOREVER Great human being......One of the greatest in Tennis 🎾 . Such Class !!!! After that horrific tragedy....hated England for the way they treated you...... Be Happy indeed. God has truly blessed you as you have blessed others..greatful to have seen you play..... Fantastic Phenomenal, Absolutely Amazing............ .👏 👏👏👏👏👏 Bravo!!!! Well spoken & so grounded..... Bravo.!!!!.. Monica.!!!! Thank- you.
@@michelez715 ok you have a marble for a brain..... They de ranked her!!!! 😳 Lots of controversy whether she could & should play.....keep her ranking at the time!!! Yes , we all know where the tragic incident occurred & by whom.... Next time pay attention. Good day. Thats what I mean...... Not that I had to elaborate. 🧐
@Max E her slump continued until seles was stabbed then magically came back lol seles was on course to be the greatest ask evert and martina they played both ladies she was beating graf in all the main gs games from 90-93 graf is lucky that girl got taken out or no way does graf make 22 if you think any other way your damn right stupid
Up to this day she still have to apologize for the grunting, meanwhile the guys were already grunting some even louder and continue to do so and it's no issue for them. Navratilova as a women's rights fighter should be ashamed of siding with the macho ways of for ladies it's a no no.
My favorite player. She brought women’s tennis into a completely different dimension, took the tour by storm and dethroned Graf. We’ll never know what could have been, had this idiot not successfully attacked her. And shame to WTA for how they handled the whole situation. And believe it or not, the match during which she was attacked still counts as a career loss.

OK, let's face it. There's the Tennis Hall of Fame but there should be a SUPER AWESOME seats of GLORY where only the TOP TOP players get to be inducted. Monica would definitely get one of those seats. But I understand the Hall of Fame is there to recognize no names, people who worked behind the scenes, etc. but the top top top top top tennis players should really get their own hall or whatever. Plus it's should NOT be just about the tennis but are they good citizens outside of tennis? Some inductees are questionable and NO, you cannot separate a player's achievements from their character. Racist? Out. Bigot? Out. Change with the times - these halls should NOT be forever and inductees should be un-inducted if appropriate.

Love and respect always but my best player of all time is Steffi Graf .Great to see you legendary Monica Seles ,yes tennis is incomplete without your name.Thank u for presenting us with marvellous tennis skills
@@Smileater he didn’t say Graf was the best. He said she’s his favorite. Big difference. She’s my favorite too. But I also like Seles - even with that awful grunt
@@Smileater ya ok lol, the true facts say Graf is 3-0 in the head to head finals in the US Opens and Wimbledons combined..those are the 2 biggest of the Slams right?? and Steffi was 3-0..a perfect record and beat her in back to back finals at the US Open in 95 and 96 winning 4 of 5 sets played in those Finals..but I guess those 'facts' dont matter 🙄..for me the best 'facts'?? were the eyes, the eyes told me Graf was easily the GOAT..a runaway actually as the greatest ever. with Navratilova as the 2nd best ever..hell Seles never even won a Wimbledon and only went deep once where she was destroyed by Graf in the Finals 6-2, 6-1 before the stabbing and while Monica was at her height so nobody can use that excuse like they always do, those are the facts
@@RoamHockey Monica Seles was way better, because you're forgetting the context. She was just 16 and 17 years old and her winning rate en ELO was skyscraping like crazy
One of my all-time favorites. The saddest thing about the stabbing is it puts an asterisk next to both Seles' and Graf's names. Thanks to that idiot, we'll never know how their rivalry would have unfolded-and neither will Seles or Graf.
Class act, but like kvitova she got victimized and suffered, not being able to meet her true potential. Serena could have lost a few finals if these two had been active. Graf too.
I don't think so that Serena would lose some of the finals if Seles and Graf still active...Remember, there are lot of tennis players were potential like Hingis, Halep, Azarenka, and Venus W., who are very active, energetic, and powerful...Time of Seles/Graf era had past already...Just like Serena she could not run like what she was before....
Good point. Graf wd definitely lose head2head with Seles. Seles had stronger will power and focus, and was already in Graf's head before 1993. Let's face it, that's why the psycho stabbed Monica, because she was already dominating Graf.
She is wery bad person! After 4 years working for free with coach Jelena Genčić. One morning she left Yugoslavia, she did not say goodbye to Jelena Genčić, nor did she ever call! Coach Jelena traveled 180 kilometers every day and trained for free, as she did with Novak Djokovic, who behaves similarly to Monica. How bad and ungrateful these tennis players are!

Incredible. There will never be another Monica Seles. Her grace, charm and humility are unmatched. She’ll always be number #1.

same here. many of these champions i thought i didn't like personally and 8 or 9 times out of 10, i'm amazed at how wrong i can be.
The greatest women's tennis player I've ever seen
@Max E Henin????????? :-))))))))))))
@Max E Yep, Henin was stabbed in her back - literally - as well.

The greatest tennis player ever
Totally agree with you,but she is also great person
Not even close.
Coulda woulda
Yes
How lovely of Monica to dedicate her entire very emotional speech to personally and publicly thanking all those who helped her along the years❤❤❤
What an eloquent athlete.... a real champion one of a kind ....
Monica, simply the best ever
The greatest tennis player ever and a real genuine person who cared about others and never let championships go to her head.
I wish that time would have been kinder to her and had allowed her to play out her destiny as best ever in all tennis records .
She really was and remains the champ in my heart !❤
truly a class act. 9 slams, needs no explanation. the QUEEN.
One of the greatest female tennis player in the universe.
She should of won double the amount of slams she did sports biggest travisty! She’s my number One forever
Illya Kuryakin really can’t stop laughing at you
Yes. Tennis a biggest back stabbing
@Ilya Kuryakin You're in all Monica's videos pissing, Günter Parche. Shut up, you psychopath.

What a wonderful speech and person ❤
My favorite if all time. Of all time!
Monica seles sie sind eine Legende der beste Tennisspielerin aller Zeiten wunderbar 😊😊😊
One of the best if not the best. ☝🏼🎉
This poor girl was robbed by a psycho who attacked her at her prime. I still believe Monica would have won over 25 grand slams.
Totally agree with you. She was 16 when she won her first, so 25 would have been within her reach quite easily.
Greatest person off my life ❤️ she wasn’t bad in game of tennis though … Greatest ever one and only MONIKA SELES ❤️❤️❤️
Absolutely, without a doubt !.
What great marvellous words ?. Your actions are even much greater !.
It’s the effin hall of fame ceremony and they couldn’t get the microphone position correct
my most likeable 👌👍 got many pictures frm Sports Star magazine 👌

Imo, Seles would lead their head to head, except possibly on grass. Seles was already in Graf's head, and had the Indian sign on her.
Holy cow … strung her racquets with a tension of 103 lbs?? (46 kg) 😳 that’s like a baseball bat 🙈😂
Class act, but like kvitova she got victimized and suffered, not being able to meet her true potential. Serena could have lost a few finals if these two had been active. Graf too.
