Monica is in Rome to receive the Golden Racket as a past champion.
She won the title in '90 over Navratilova & in '00 over Mauresmo.
She also lost in 2 finals - '91 & '92, both to Gabriela Sabatini.
Back in the day I was all about Monica.
At the time my roommate was German and a BIG Steffi Graf nut.
Some of their matches in the early '90's got real loud in our house.
Seeing Mo today sure brought back some great memories.
Monica is one of my all time favourites,such a gutsy player,the way she would stand a metre inside the baseline to receive, against even the hardest servers.Probably the best match I saw her play was the tour year end championship in 1990 in New York a five set match against Gabriella Sabatini which she won 6-4/5-7/3-6/6-4/6-2 what a battle.
