On the tennis side, the three players with the most haloes will not have been spared either: Roger Federer having often suffered from back pain, Rafa Nadal on his knees and Novak Djokovic on his elbow; which will not have prevented them from accomplishing great things! It’s very simple, the three of them count in the 58 Grand Slams, much more than all the others. Monica Seles will have impressed as for her in WTA. At only 19, she already had eight Grand Slams, when at the height of her glory, an unbalanced fan of her great rival Steffi Graf stabbed her in the back, during a quarter-final in Hamburg. Absent from the circuit for two years, she will never really regain her previous level, even if she won the 1996 Australian Open: her last title in a major tournament. Naturalized American, the Serbian will remain in the Top 10 for several years, while winning a bronze medal at the Olympic Games in Sydney 2000 and helping the United States to register three successes in the Fed Cup!
