Monica Seles shed some light on her competitive career in a surprise
appearance at a rain-hit Wimbledon.

The 31-year-old, who has won nine Grand Slams, has not played on the
circuit since June 2003 because of a foot injury but has yet to
formally retire.

"My life is definitely in tennis," Seles said in an adhoc interview
on Centre Court. "I'm still playing.

"I'm trying to give stuff back coaching kids in America and Canada
but I'm also studying a little bit of architecture."

Seles has won all the major titles except Wimbledon, although she
reached the final in 1992 before losing to Steffi Graf.

The 31-year-old was back at the All England Club on a one-day visit
to do promotional work with American Express.

But Seles confirmed it was good to be back at SW19, despite the rain.

"I always love coming but sadly I never won here," said Seles.

"It was always my favourite. There's no atmosphere like walking out
here on Centre Court - I miss this the most."

While Seles' dominant, powerful play was amongst the finest ever seen
in women's tennis, she remains just as famous for her on-court
grunting.

That topic has been brought back into the spotlight by reigning
champion Maria Sharapova and referee Alan Mills' claims that all the
on-court exclamations are spoiling the game.

"As you know, I was one of the original grunters," smiled Seles.

"But Jimmy Connors used to grunt way before I was born. I never knew
I was grunting, it was just part of my strokes.

"I always grunted much more when the going got tough and I can see
that in the girls now.

"I don't think Maria is grunting now more than she used to. The
maturity she is showing is really very impressive."
