  • Monica Seles and Her Struggle with German Justice
    1 The Cruelest Irony: Monica Seles and Her Struggle With German Justice Warren Ko A Routine Beginning It was supposed to be a just a routine drubbing. Beatdown. Thumping. Whatever cliché one prefers to use in describing a world class sports star dismissing an obviously overmatched opponent would be perfectly appropriate to characterize the beginning of Monica Seles’s tennis match against Magdalena Maleeva on April 30, 1993. In the quarterfinals of the Citizen’s Cup, a tournament in Hamburg, Germany, the young teenage sensation had already won the first set handily. The second set was closer, and Monica had lost the first three games before storming back to win four games in a row. Now with the score 4-3 and the end of the match in sight, she walked over and sat on her bench to take the standard 90 second rest every two games. No one could have predicted that the next few moments would bear witness to one of the greatest tragedies in tennis and sporting history. Certainly Monica herself had no indication that something was wrong. Indeed, since having dominant 1991 and 1992 seasons, the 19 year old ranked #1 in the world had entered 1993 with few milestones left to accomplish. From the period of January 1991 to February 1993, Seles reached the final in 33 out of 34 tournaments she competed, winning 22 titles in the process. Along the way, she compiled an astounding 159-12 win- loss record (92.9%) that easily rivals Roger Federer’s dominance today on the men’s tour.
