Her brother Zoltán, was 8 years old when Monica was born. Tennis first caught the eye of Monica when she was six years old because Zoltán became interested in the sport, and was bringing home cool looking trophies. Tennis was not a popular idrott in Novi Sad, Yugoslavia at that time. So Karolj had to drive to Italy nearly 10 hours away just to pick up racquet’s for his children. Novi Sad only had 4 clay tennis courts to play on, which made it really tough for Monica & Zoltán to get a court to practice on. So Monica, Zoltán, & their father practiced a lot in the parking lot or up against the wall of their apartment complex. It all started in that parking lot in Novi Sad. At the time, Karolj worked as an artist/cartoonist to make money to support his family and Esther also worked to support the household. • Monica Seles() SynopsisMonica Seles was born in Novi Sad, Yugoslavia, on December 2, After moving to the United States to play tennis at age 13, Seles became the youngest player to take over the world's No. 1 ranking in She dominated the sport until , when a fan of rival Steffi Graf stabbed her during a match in Germany.
