Monica Seles is a Yugoslav-born American former professional tennis player who dominated women's tennis in the early 1990s with a distinctive two-handed grip on both forehand and backhand. She won multiple Grand Slam singles titles as a teenager before a 1993 on-court stabbing by a spectator interrupted her career; she later returned to competition and continued winning titles.
