Seles inducted into the Hall of Fame
NEWPORT (Rhode Island): Former world number one Monica Seles was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame along with three other players during ceremonies on Saturday.
Seles, now 35, won nine Grand Slam singles titles in the 1990s, including four Australian and three French Opens. She was world number one for 178 weeks non-consecutively and ended 1991 and ‘92 as the top-ranked player.
She remains the French Open’s youngest champion, winning in 1990 aged 16 years and six months.
Joining Seles in the Hall of Fame were Andres Gimeno, one of Spain’s most prominent players of the 1960s; Donald Dell, a former US Davis Cup player; and the late Robert Johnson. — Reuters
