Thanks Andrew. Monica was really beautiful when she was young.
The interview mentions the all sorts of trivial attacks on Monica made
in the press; my guess is that these attacks did not just happen;
press stories are easily planted if you are in the sports management
business.
It mentions how Monica was told that she must not grunt at Wimbledon
in 1992 Telling Monica that she should not 'grunt' when playing was
completely unfair. It would be like telling the Williams sisters that
their use of their left leg was disturbing people, so please could
they hop on one leg. (See the following 1992 New York Times article)

The man who stabbed her (Gunter Parche) should have been punished - a
two year suspended sentence is no punishment at all. It would have
been better if he had been hanged.
