She dominated the major events in 1991 but withdrew from Wimbledon and consequently missed the chance to achieve the Grand Slam. In 1991 she became the youngest woman player ever to achieve number-one ranking. In 1993 she was stabbed by a fan of her rival, Steffi Graf, on court during the Hamburg Open.
