AFP - Getty Images fileYeah, sure, Monica Seles was famous for her grunts as she smacked the fuzzy yellow ball around the court with frightening effectiveness. But she was better known for the groans she produced from her opponents.
At 17, she became the youngest player to win a Grand Slam event in the 20th century, defeating Steffi Graf in the French Open. She also knocked off Martina Navratilova in the Italian Open and Graf in the German Open. From Oct. 3, 1990 until March 18, 1992, Seles reached the finals of all 21 of the events she entered. She earned the No. 1 ranking in the world at age 17.
By the time she relinquished that ranking, she was not yet 20 and already had won three straight French Opens, three straight Australian Opens, two straight U.S. Opens and three straight prestigious Virginia Slims Championships.
Seles might have dominated in her 20s, too, but for a crazed 38-year-old German fan of Graf’s named Guenter Parche, who attacked Seles with a knife at a tournament in Hamburg on April 30, 1993. Though she returned to professional tennis two years later, she was never the same.
Honorable mentions:
Steffi Graf: Captured the exalted Grand Slam, with victories in the Australian, French and U.S. Opens and Wimbledon in 1988, when she turned 19; then won three of the four Slam events the next year, losing only the French Open.
Mary Lou Retton: The 16-year-old dynamo turned on a generation of young girls with an electrifying vault and high-wattage smile as she won the gold medal at the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles.
Bob Feller: Broke into the majors at age 17. At age 18 he struck out 150 batters in 148 2/3 innings. In 1938, at age 19, ‘Rapid Robert’ went 17-11 and led the American League in strikeouts with 240.
Pele: In a sport that was more popular in his native Brazil at the time than even football is in the United States today, the 17-year-old ‘Black Pearl’ scored six goals in the final three games, leading Brazil to the 1958 World Cup.
