For those interested in tennis who do not remember her, it might. be worth checking Youtube to see some of her matches before the stabbing. She was a great, well-rounded player - best in the world at the time of the Incident. She was stabbed in the neck by a crazed Steffi Graf fan...seriously. It really happened.

Unfortunately, she did not have a very resilient personality, and it took her more than a year to recover psychologically (if she ever did) and get back on the court. Never the same afterward.

I can't think of any comparable event in any sport. Top player assaulted so that another player can be #1? Crazy shit.

Tonya Harding's attack by her husband Jeff Gillooly and three other men on Nancy Kerrigan at the Olympic trails is in the same category.

She was good. And then it was over.
 
I only recall the name from sports headlines and wouldn't be able to pick her out of a lineup.

I quit watching women tennis due to the groans and grunts, too much suffering going on out there.
Gave up on men's due to the behavior of Conners and McEnroe, their complaints became too much.
