She was only 3 grand slams behind Graf before the stabbing and 4 years younger. I have never seen anybody play with such ferocious intensity. I feel she is the best of all time.

She played the game like no one else. She is the pioneer of the modern game, all the way down to her grunting as well as her power and precision. It makes one wonder what she would have done if not for the stabbing. Even after that she remained one of the truly gracious players of all times. I hope that as time goes by the tennis world comes to understand what a truly great champion and sports person she is. Monica you will be missed.

When going to the courts to train everyday, I would see Nick training this little girl who hit the living **** out of the ball. Me and a bunch of the guys and girls in my group would just sit and watch. Nobody knew her at the time. Her parents, who worked the snack bar at Nick's camp because they had no money only a child who would eventually become their meal ticket. I remember thinking at the time, this girl is going to be the #1 in the world and may be the best woman to ever play the game. Well, that hasn't changed in my mind. Even though her career was cut short because of an individual with a devious plan, I think you can ask Steffi or anyone else in the game. That little girl had the best stuff I've ever seen. She came out of nowhere from nothing and shocked the world. She didn't shock me though. I would see her training under Nick's constant sessions with her and she practiced a lot even in the hot Bradenton summers multiple times a day. It really upsets me to think about what could have been because she was a legend and nobody really realizes it besides a small few.
