Seles I'm guessing?

yep.

Wonder how different her career would have been and if she would have totally dominated. Something we will never know I guess :(

A real shame that this happened. This is one of those incidents where I think a "should've, could've, would've" argument can be applied as it is outside influence.

I personally believe you would have seen Steff lose out on 4-5 slams and you would add those and maybe a few more to Seles trophy cabinet.

I was extremely disgusted at this incident. :( :(

Agree with all of that.

It's odd i really liked Seles, but wasn't crazy about her style or her grunting-shy may not have been the first but she was the loudest (i think) at the time.
I think it was her fighting spirit i loved-they way she played every point as if her life depended on it.

At that time I was a senior in high school, getting ready for graduation, So I didn't really follow the story. I remember the photo of Monica holding her shoulder w/a bloodstained towel. I think my reaction to the whole thing at the time was "wow, somebody finally shut her up" Of course I would have preferred Steffi Graf-Agassi, Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario, or Jana Novotna to do it on the court w/less violence. I've mentioned before that Seles' vocals overshadowed her tennis skills-am hoping someday to find a computer that lets me access Youtube-I would like to watch this girl and see what all of you saw.
