It has been a long time since Monica played a professional tennis
match. And the wait will be a few more months.
Monica will make her return to tennis on March 23, 2004 at the
Mercedes-Benz Classic Tennis Exhibition in Tampa, Florida. The
exhibition will pit Monica Seles against Jennifer Capriati. Other
players involved: Andy Roddick, Jim Courier, and James Blake.
Monica's next 'official' match will be at the 2004 Nasdaq-100 Open
in Key Biscayne, Florida. The Tier I event begins the week of March
24, 2004.
In rankings news... if, as expected, Monica does not return until
the Nasdaq, her ranking will fall to approximately 205. She will
have an Injury Protected Ranking (IPR) of #18 for her first 8
events. The IPR allows for entry into events, but is not used for
seeding purposes.
Monica will be placed into the maindraw as an unseeded player at
most every event she plays until she can resurrect her ranking. This
means, she could conceivably play the top players very early in
tournaments.
While, the news seems gloomy.... rest assured we are fully confident
that Monica will be on court again. We just have to wait a bit
longer.
