Origin
and identity

Monica Seles used two-handed strokes from both wings to take the ball early and overwhelm established champions.

Seles transformed teenage promise into major consistency. Her first Roland Garros title in 1990 began an extraordinary run that made her a central force and compelling rival to Steffi Graf.

An on-court attack in 1993 interrupted that ascent. Her return brought a US Open final and another Australian Open championship, while later representing the United States added Olympic and team achievements to an already remarkable career.
