The funniest thing of all is your beloved Sanchez Vicario would only have 1 slam title if Monica wasnt stabbed. Everyone who reads these videos knows your hard on for Arantxa so just remember she is the luckiest one of all. Graf was already an all time great even before the stabbing, and whatever she ended up with, 16 slams, 18 slams, she would still be way up there among the best regardless. Your beloved ASV though would be a one slam wonder today, another Novotna or Sabatini, LOL!

I think Graf will survive. She has 22 slams to Sanchez Vicario's 4.

@bilraz Seles was stabbed in the back and her attacker Gunther Parche a German man NEVER got sent to prison! How would you feel if a man tried to kill you on LIVE TELEVISION yet he got off? Only in Nazi Germany can a man attempt to kill a woman yet the bastard gets off because he helped the Fraulein Graf get back to number one.

@bilraz Of course you ignore the fact from 1990 to 1993 Seles had a 3-1 lead against Graf in SLAM FINALS that's what matters most.

Perfect example of how off her game Graf was in this period...

@JordanjamesX bullshit!

@JordanjamesX I never said anything was Arantxa's fault. Obviously you're an Arantxa fan, and for the record, Sanchez got tired of the St. Monica act too. My only point was that the Seles team was way out of line to pick a fight with Graf's father during a Slam semi final. MOST people would have trouble playing through that. I think Graf and Sanchez Vicario respected each other as people and players. Arantxa had some great wins over Graf, but let's be honest, this wasn't a great match.

[JordanjamesX]

@badgernation74 Your excuse is pathetic when you play professional tennis you focus ON the match. It is not Arantxa's fault that Graf could not concentrate. Steffi was physically fine and yet Arantxa forced Graf to make 5 million errors! This was a wonderful performance by Aranxta giving Graf the biggest beat down in her career!!

[badgernation74]

Here's a big part of why Graf played so badly this day. In 1990 during Wimbledon, the British Tabloids printed rumors that Graf's dad had a child with a German Playboy model. During this '91 French semi-final, Seles' agent sat right behind Peter Graf and talked smack to him about the rumors until Peter punched him and was ejected from the stands.  Graf understandably had trouble concentrating. The Seles camp played dirty

horrible to watch, Graf a shadow of herself here, 44 unforced errors!

Look, the bottom line is Arantxa was always an overachiever unlike her peers such as Sabatini, Novotna, Martinez, and Mary Joe Fernandez. Arantxa was special you have to give her credit she was small she had a never say die attitude and she was an incredible fighter. Sanchez cannot be blamed for capitalizing off of the Seles stabbing it is not her fault. Also, Monica was the one that got fat after she returned to the WTA. Monica lost a lot of slams due to her incredible weight gain.
