First of all, let me introduce myself once again for those who may have missed it. I used to post on the Sanex WTA board as Big Lindsay, I did register under that name here, but never recieved my password. The opinion that you will be reading below will be that of mine only, it is in no way the opinion of Evonne, I just chose her name after not recieving my password for Big Lindsay, not to mention Evonne is my all-time fav. <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">
We all know that Monica Seles was stabbed nine years ago, it was terrible, and she definately recieved no justice at all for it. Last week we had a tier I event , the Kremlin Cup, which Dokic won. This was not in Germany so where was Monica? winning a little tournament over Tanasugarn, thats where. This week most of the big names are at the Porsche Grand Prix in Germany, wheres Monica? playing the Kiwi Open, another little event.
Not to be cruel but Monica has enough money to hire bodyguards for herself. Now I know I posted in Jakeev's thread that personal safety is more important than playing in a tournament during these times, but Monica is playing, just not in Germany. Truth be told the stabbing incident could have happened anywhere, not just Germany. Is Monica not playing in Germany because of the stabbing? or since she played last week, but not the Kremlin, does it mean that she is dodging the top players and trying to up her ranking by winning a string of smaller events. Keep in mind that Monica is not in contention for the #1 ranking now, which was the reason Gunther Parsche attacked her in the first place. If Monica is truly not playing in Germany for fear of being stabbed, she should not be playing at all because as I said it can happen anwhere.
I just think its time for Monica and the rest of us to move on, as tennis fans and tennis professionals.
I thank you for your time,
Big Lindsay
