Date of Birth: 02.12.73
Became pro: 1989
World ranking: 4 |
Verdict: 'Mighty Mo' has just returned to the world's top four, but she has failed to dominate the game as she once did before her infamous on-court stabbing in 1993.
Still she has shown her appetite for the sport in this year's Grand Slams, beating Venus Williams en route to the Australian Open semis before Williams gained revenge in the last eight at Roland Garros.
This is the only Slam she has never won, grass being her least favoured surface, but has regularly reached the latter stages.
A winner in Doha and Madrid this season, Seles still struggles to beat her peers on a regular basis and for that reason she is unlikely to win, but should still be around well into week two.
