32 years ago, eight-time Grand Slam champion Monica Seles was stabbed during a tennis match and the 19-year-old’s life was never the same.

Joe is joined by Jon Wertheim of Sports Illustrated to reflect on the shocking moment, what it meant for Seles’ career and that whole era of tennis.

The jumping off point for the chat are the uncomfortable parallels between Seles’ situation and the recent incident involving Emma Raducanu and a fan in Dubai who exhibited ‘fixated behaviour’, with the English star previously the victim of a stalking incident in 2022.
