She became a tennis sensation in 1990 when, at 16, she became the youngest winner of the French Open in history by beating Steffi Graf in straight sets. In her career, Seles has won 53 career WTA Tour singles titles, including nine Grand Slam titles - the Australian Open four times, the French Open three times and the U.S. Open twice. Tennis aficionados agree that she would have won even more, but in 1993 she was involved in a serious incident with a crazed fan of rival player, Steffi Graf. Following this incident, she did not play again for over two years, and although she had some further success when she returned to full-time competition, winning the 1996 Australian Open, she was never again able to consistently reproduce her best form. Born in Novi Sad, Serbia (then Yugoslavia), she began playing tennis at the age of 6, coached by her father Karolj Seles. In 1986, the Seles family moved from Yugoslavia to the United States and she enrolled in the Nick Bollettieri Tennis Academy. Seles played her first professional tournament in 1988 at the age of 14 and won her first career title at Houston in May 1989, where she beat Chris Evert in the final. From 1991 to 1993, Seles dominated women's tennis, winning 22 titles and reaching 33 finals out of the 34 tournaments in which she played. She had a 55-1 win-loss record in Grand Slam tournaments, the only defeat being in the 1992 Wimbledon final, where she lost to Steffi Graf.
