NEWPORT, Rhode Island, July 11 (Reuters) - Former world number one Monica Seles
was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame along with three other
players during ceremonies on Saturday.

Seles, now 35, won nine Grand Slam singles titles in the 1990s, including four
Australian and three French opens. She was world number one for 178 weeks
non-consecutively and ended 1991 and '92 as the top-ranked player.

She remains the French Open's youngest champion, winning in 1990 aged 16 years
and six months.

Seles, who was born in Yugoslavia and became a U.S. citizen in 1994, captured 53
singles titles and six doubles titles and won more than $14 million in prize
money over 15 years.

Her career was interrupted in 1993 when she was stabbed in the back by a
spectator at a changeover during a match in Hamburg, Germany, and did not play
competitively for 27 months. She won her final grand slam at the 1996 Australian
Open.

Joining Seles in the Hall of Fame were Andres Gimeno, one of Spain's most
prominent players of the 1960s; Donald Dell, a former U.S. Davis Cup player; and
the late Robert Johnson.

Johnson was founder and director of the American Tennis Association Junior
Development Program who worked for decades assisting in the development of young
African-American players.
