Monica was the nicest player on tour.. She obviously got pissed that she missed so she hit the ball, just like everybody els does now days.. It was a accident
not on purpose out of frustration, im not a big seles fan at all but i know if she had accidently hit Martinez she would have crossed the net and said sorry.
well then it's a double standard! who cares...Monica is a champion and loved by many and Rodionova isn't - that's why. That and the fact that it's a different chair umpire. You would not default someone like Seles - especially during the later rounds at the US Open - people would go nuts!
Hmm....Nice sensationlaist headline here to attracts lots of views?
I have the match, Seles didn't do it on purpose and Martinez was aware of that, as has been mentioned Seles put her hand up to apologise, she was frustrated at her own play.
that's where you're so wrong. She did hit that ball in anger/frustration and it could have hit Martinez or a line judge. She may have apologised, but that would be too late if it had hit somebody. Rodionova hit the wall in anger, just like Seles, but was defaulted. That's a double standard.
No no, the title of your video is Seles slams ball at Martinez. I'm saying Seles didn't intend to hit Martinez or the line judge so the title of the video is misleading. It's obvious Seles hit out in frustration but that's normal - but not to hit anyone, just to let her own frustration out.
I totally get your point and you are right!! It is very easy to see that most of the posters here are huge fans of Seles. The chair was wrong for defaulting Rodionova and it looks like favortism. I can only imagine the nasty names that would be on this page if it was the other way around. I'm not saying any names, but if a particular #1 seed had of done what Seles did, we wouldn't hear the end of it- apology or not!!
not true. if it had hit martinez she could have been disqualified immediately as the shot was struck in anger. same if it had hit an official or ballboy (See Tim Henman, Wimbledon back in 1995)
I have this entire match on VHS. Right after this happened Seles put her hand up in apology. Martinez really didn't care because she knew it wasn't intentional.
I checked my tape as soon as I saw this here and I have on tape only because during that point, Steffi was being interviewed by mr. cheesy (pat o'brien).
interesting how the clip doesnt go on to show Seles' or Martinez's response after what I am sure was a mistake. I am sure Seles apologized afterwards, which is why it had never become a big issue, like what Rodinova faced/faces
just as I though, no surprise there. Thank you. Amazing the power that editing lends to misinformation. But objective thought always reveals the truth behind a vile scheme
Even if it did hit her, it wouldn't have left a mark. It's a tennis ball, ffs

hmmm from the way it looks it wasn't done on purpose- if you look at the way she hits it, she's hitting it out of frustration.

Wasnt a penalty because seles kept the ball in the court, if she whacked it into the crowd then she would have been warned/penalized.

lol, a dokic fan calling martinez a bitch when she achieved some of her greatest results playing alongside Conchita.
I don't see the point of this video. Nothing happened. Monica is great, Conchita is great.

Seles hit a poor shot - considering she has won so many slams she could have at least managed to hit the bitch on the head

Monica apologized profusely for that. She's a very nice person. She was just venting steam. She wasn't aiming at her opponent at all.
