Monica Seles, my autobiography
I've read tiz book a long time ago but it's still isn't too late 2 blog it...I have to say, monica seles's book have touched me the most among all the non-fiction books i've read thus far. This is also the reason why i've begin to enjoy reading auto/biographies, the emotion that each player have felt n the different types of route n hardwork each player have put in etc, is closer to the heart as it a real-life story compared 2 those fiction stories tat r mostly fantasies. Biographies r more direct. Back to the mainpoint, the highlight of Monica's career was the stabbing, which is what she is famous for and how i got 2 noe her. Monica started playin tennis @ a very young age. Though many people doubted her abilities due 2 her unique 2-handed back n forehand along with her disturbing screams she make each time she wacks a ball, she persisted. Monica's persistance brought her good. She won her 1st grand slam @ e age of only 15(maybe 16, dun quite remember) years old. This victory boosted her rankings. Soon, she held the no.1 spot. Her competition, Steffi Graf. Steffi Graf was also playing very well during Monica's time. She too won some grand slam titles. For a period of time, Monica and steffi were exchanging the no.1 rankings. However, the worst day of monica's life was approaching. Monica was playing a tournament in Hamburg, Germany, during a semi-final match against Jennifer Capriati. Both girls were having a break after a game when the empire called 'time' and play was to be resumed. While Monica was walking towards the baseline, a male audience, Parche, went around her back and stabbed her @ her shoulder back. All tournament helpers immediately went to her rescue b4 parche went 2 stab monica a 2nd time. Monica immediately fell in coma. The incident had caused her her tennis career and most importantly, scars that took too long to recover. Later, it had been told that parche stabbed monica because he was too obessed with steffi and wanted steffi to retain the no.1 ranking. All these could happen only if monica 'disapeared'. Indeed, after monica 'retired' steffi held the no.1 ranking for a very long period of time and became one of the most successful female tennis player. Worst of all, Parche was charged with only 1 day in jail. Monica had a really hard time cooping with life the stabbing incident she consistantly suffered nightmares and binges, she even had to shun paparazzi. Life was chaotic for monica. None of the female athletes backed her up. she lost her rankings and went behind the scenes for almost 2 years. When she was finally brave enough 2 take up the sport as a pro, she did nt play as well as she used 2. She was winning many slams before but after her recovery, she only won 1. Soon, she retired officialy.
My evaluation: Monica was a very very successful tennis player b4 the stabbing incident. She could be more successful in her career if nt for the incident. I personally feel that it is very very unfair 4 people 2 praise steffi graf as without the 'help' of the obsessed parche, she would nt have won tat much titles as she would face Monica's contention. I feel unjust for Monica. She could be 1 of the most successful female athlete in history if not 4 the mishaps. I really hope that Monica's life will only get better each time.
