The Legend of Monica Seles

  • Summary

  • By the age of 20, Monica Seles was the #1 ranked player in the world. Her unique style of play and vocal intonations on the court made her a captivating pop culture phenomenon, with fans like Johnny Carson and Jerry Seinfeld. But on April 30, 1993, it would be a fan of one of her biggest rivals that would change the trajectory of her career and the tennis world forever.

    In this episode, we chronicle the legendary career of Tennis Hall of Famer, Monica Seles. From her development as an amateur at the Bollettieri academy, to winning her first 6 grand slam finals as a professional, few have had as dominating a start in the history of the sport. We cover her meteoric rise to the top, some her greatest matches along the way, and that fateful day in Germany that would change everything from that day forward. If it weren’t for this incident, would Monica have been the greatest female tennis player ever? Would she have the most grand slam titles? 

    We cover all that and then some, as well the instant classic that was Superbowl LVII. We also play a little "doubles" in a combined installment of the "Top 5." Advantage: The 90's.
