Monica Seles
Thrown into the fast-paced world of competitive tennis at a very early age, Monica Seles became the youngest winner in French Open history in 1990. But in 1993 at the height of her career, she was brutally stabbed. Though she recovered from her physical injuries, she suffered from depression and eating disorders, preventing her from competing successfully for several years. In her new book "Getting a Grip," Seles chronicles her struggles both on and off the court.
