Ten year anniversery of the Seles Stabbing Options

[Bryan]

It's been ten years today since the crazy Steffi Graf fan stabbed Monica Seles on court effectively ending her remarkable dominance of women's tennis. In addition to the questions that have been asked repeatedly:

How many more slams would she have won? How many fewer would Steffi have won? How is it that the German legal system is so completely inept? Why was Sabatini the only player who supported Seles' right to keep the #1 ranking until she returned?

It must be asked why Steffi Graf never stepped up and petitioned the German courts to imprison the crazy fan? Why has Steffi in the last ten years rarely mentioned the career benefits she received because of Seles' absence? Who doesn't believe that Seles had at least another two to four years of #1 in her with another 8-10 grand slam titles?

Ten years ago was a sad day for tennis and for all of sports. Much has changed because of that day concerning security around sporting events and players. Never has another #1 player in any sport suffered such an assault..thank god.

One has to marvel at what incredible courage and strength Monica Seles has displayed since the stabbing. And while it's been pointed out many times that Monica never regained her dominance, it must be said again that as a human being, an ambassador for the sport, and an example of class - she has few rivals.
