Living legend of the women’s circuit and considered by some to be the best player of all time before her assault in 1993, Monica Seles gave an interview to Laureus. The American returned to her first duel against Serena Williams in 1997 where she quickly understood that she had in front of her a future great champion.
“I’ll never forget the day I was world number one, and I was playing against her in Chicago, in 1997, and I think she was 17, her first tournament, and she made me ‘boil’ . I remember that night when I came back to my hotel I called my agent and said, “My days are numbered.” As a playmate, I could feel it, even at an age as young as Serena. “
