| On her first day in Carlsbad, after losing a doubles match,
Seles wades into a swarm of people at courtside to sign
autographs. Quickly, the pack threatens to wheel out of
control, men and kids shoving, Seles's bodyguard yelling,
"Back off the court!"
in a voice edged with panic. Seles keeps scribbling. Pow! A
balloon pops: Her body recoils, her face jerks. She grits
her teeth and keeps signing: paper, balls, programs.
Nothing to do now but push
ahead. |
