PertSnergleman's Review:
--------------------------------------------
The 1995 Canadian Open was a start-to-finish Seles lovefest as she defeated Kimberly Po 6-0, 6-3, Nathalie Tauziat 6-2, 6-2, Anke Huber 6-3, 6-2, Gabriela Sabatini 6-1, 6-0, and Amanda Coetzer 6-0, 6-1.
Seles had been stabbed by a crazed Steffi Graf fan, Gunther Parche, and that week Coetzer ended any chance of a Graf-Seles final by upsetting the German in her opening match on a wretchedly hot day, 3-6, 6-2, 7-6 (6).
Monica Seles chose the word "wow" to describe the moment, and that would do as well as any. Under a sweltering sun, in front of a breathless crowd, Seles did today what had been beyond the realm of even her own murky fantasies -- she returned to women's professional tennis as an instant champion.
"It's all very unreal," Seles said, giggling her usual giggle and slapping her hand to her head. "It's like, wow. It's seems like it's happened so fast, so quickly everything, day-to-day and today also. It's like, wow!"
In a spectacular week that surpassed even her own expectations, Seles lost a mere 14 games in five matches, had her service broken just three times and never lost a set.
From Tuesday night, when she first walked on to center court to thunderous applause, to the postmatch ceremony this afternoon -- a ceremony that nearly brought her to tears -- Seles owned this tournament, this city and the world of women's professional tennis.
To herself, though, she proved something much more important. She has made it through the first phase without giving in to fear and, more importantly, with that same kind of enjoyment she used to find in tennis.
For her, that is enough to digest...
"There were so many emotions to get to this point," Seles said. "To be able to come out and play great and also be able to enjoy it -- it's quite amazing. . . . I've always been a very strong person, at least as an athlete, and I felt that sooner or later I'd be able to get that back. It was really great to see that all come together this week."
Enjoy everybody... enjoy!

The return of Monica was dazzling. The most beautiful thing was her smile. It showed in your face the happiness to came back to play.
Amazing strength Monica..no one comes close..
Hello Shravan Kumar ji?? So apart from susheela amma's fan you are also a fan of Monica Seles..nice to know that..
Horrific accident! It was certainly not an incident, everything about that attack was deliberate! It was a gem that she was able to come back at all. She is s true champ. No one can touch her.
Most top players would have coped far better with the 1993 attack.
Or could you imagine players like Evert, Navratilova, Graf, Williams going AWOL for more than two years because of a minor stab wound??

Omfg what is wrong with you? You need serious mental help. @carrerau7138
My champion...everyone's champion!!
Thank you so much for the upload!
The greatest tennis player of all time - a shame that her full potential was never realised.
It was beginning to be realised before the stabbing. But it proved to have her influenced too strongly, which is very understandable, even for the great champion she was.
Seles is a little bit overrated. Never forget that she had a lot of success only in the two years when the GOAT had two of her worst years ever and when Navratilova finally was showing her with two also bad years.
It was her own decision to skip 27 months of the tour in 1993-95.
and yet she came back with a vengeance, showing it already here at the Can Open 95 and a few weeks later at the USO. Her first 14 months after her return were excellent.
Her problem was that Steffi of 1995/96 was not the weak Steffi of 1991/92 anymore.
And that she went down from 1997 on due to injuries (same as Steffi, BTW).
But Steffi haters still use her to denigrate the GOAT.
@@carrerau7138 Distorting the truth. No, Graf didn't have unexplicably two of her worst years. She was the best, until Seles arrived at the scene. The two years when Seles won 8 grand slam titles and was detroning Graf, weren't years with a "weak" Graf, but years with Seles proving to be better than Graf. I am certainly not a Graf hater, but I hate it when truth is being distorted by an obsessed Graf fan.
@@jansnauwaert1785 You are wrong, kid.
From 1987 until 1996 (120 months) Steffi missed only 7 slam finals.
But 5 of them in the 26 months between July 1990 and September 1992.
And guess when Seles had most of her success…
Those are the facts.
@@carrerau7138 How can you say Seles was overrated? 8 Grand Slam titles before her stabbing. There was no doubt that she was only getting better and would easily have dominated for the rest of the 1990s.
I am not a Steffi hater but even her most ardent supporter knows that she wouldn't have won 22 Grand Slam singles titles if that stabbing hadn't occurred.
What a champion 😍
Wow! What a game 😮
Monica simply the best ever
Seles until today holds several negative records for a #1-ranked player:
1) loss to the youngest player (15-year-old Capriati - even two losses!),
2) loss to the oldest player (36-year-old Navratilova),
3) a 2-5 win/loss record against a major opponent (vs. Graf),
4) worst loss ever in a slam final (26 16 vs. Graf, Wimbledon 1992).
Compared to Evert, Navratilova, Steffi, Serena the Serbian was a weak #1.
@@carrerau7138 You sure seem triggered by Seles, my goodness.
@@RKRKRK78 It‘s always fun to throw cold water over excited Selestials.
Seemed to me Coetzer was deeply moved at some moments during the speeches
DIVA
Her only winner all match was a forehand at net off a drop shot, LOL!
Parche and steffi's.slave psycho you are😂😂
Too bad Novak doesn't have Monica's mental strength.
Novak would have played again within two months after such a minor stabbing.
The grit of Novak reminds me that of Monica. After all are both Serbian. Good blood doesn't line! However I think that Djokovic would come back to play after two mounths and I'm sure that would superate the trauma easily, because he 's too much determinated.
@@laviniaparisi9154 I never considered Monica especially gritty. Grunting is not gritty.
@@carrerau7138 She had a great instint killer on the tennis court and a great instint "howler".
@@laviniaparisi9154 She simply was a very, very good player. Great anticipation, very difficult to read strokes, extremely consistent, an unconcerned teenager (like almost all teenagers).
She never came across as a mental monster. Sadly history proved this.
You were wrong
