Winning 7 of 11 majors before she was attacked at such a young age, could she have changed who is the GOAT of women's tennis?

No way Graff wins close to 22 majors with Monica coming on strong pre stabbing.

Without a doubt, it changed it. I feel pretty confident she would be considered the GOAT.

Even if Monica didn't win enough to be the GOAT, he career would have taken from Graff's enough to put Martina on top

I don't know about Monica being GOAT, but she was about to bring down Graf's reign.

Germans.
























As in Steffi Graf and the guy who stabbed Monica Seles are both Germans.

And YES, it totally changed history.

I agree, though an argument could still be made for Martina. What's crazy about Seles was how she was doing that in Steffi's prime. Not sure any woman has dominated top competition like that. Oh we'll....what could have been.


Has that psycho stabber been released yet? Somebody needs to take him out if so.

Still a pretty stupid comment that makes no sense.
There's a wingnut board for that.

To bring this back on topic and to tie in to another thread:

Holy shite, that happened 20 years ago this year.

Yep. I'm old.

Seles was so young when that happened. I can't imagine the rage or lunacy it took to stick a knife in her shoulder. If he had stabbed a few inches over, he hits her spine. Unreal.

Ever see/hear the great "tribute" song inspired by the stabbing from the one and only Hugh Laurie (aka House MD)?

She did have a chance to be the GOAT, change a lot in woman's tennis and security at their matches

Women's sports were wild in the 90's with crazy people attacking the good ones.

Who was that ice skater that got her knee bashed in?

You got issues if you care about women's sports, but you got monsterous issues if you care that much to hurt one of them.
