PertSnergleman's Review:
--------------------------------------------

The 1995 Canadian Open was a start-to-finish Seles lovefest as she defeated Kimberly Po 6-0, 6-3, Nathalie Tauziat 6-2, 6-2, Anke Huber 6-3, 6-2, Gabriela Sabatini 6-1, 6-0, and Amanda Coetzer 6-0, 6-1.

Seles had been stabbed by a crazed Steffi Graf fan, Gunther Parche, and that week Coetzer ended any chance of a Graf-Seles final by upsetting the German in her opening match on a wretchedly hot day, 3-6, 6-2, 7-6 (6).

Monica Seles chose the word "wow" to describe the moment, and that would do as well as any. Under a sweltering sun, in front of a breathless crowd, Seles did today what had been beyond the realm of even her own murky fantasies -- she returned to women's professional tennis as an instant champion.

"It's all very unreal," Seles said, giggling her usual giggle and slapping her hand to her head. "It's like, wow. It's seems like it's happened so fast, so quickly everything, day-to-day and today also. It's like, wow!"

In a spectacular week that surpassed even her own expectations, Seles lost a mere 14 games in five matches, had her service broken just three times and never lost a set.

From Tuesday night, when she first walked on to center court to thunderous applause, to the postmatch ceremony this afternoon -- a ceremony that nearly brought her to tears -- Seles owned this tournament, this city and the world of women's professional tennis.

To herself, though, she proved something much more important. She has made it through the first phase without giving in to fear and, more importantly, with that same kind of enjoyment she used to find in tennis.

For her, that is enough to digest...

"There were so many emotions to get to this point," Seles said. "To be able to come out and play great and also be able to enjoy it -- it's quite amazing. . . . I've always been a very strong person, at least as an athlete, and I felt that sooner or later I'd be able to get that back. It was really great to see that all come together this week."

Enjoy everybody... enjoy!
