- It took a little time, but tennis pro Monica Seles grunted,
- squealed and two-fisted her way to become the youngest No.
- 1-ranked female player in the world. Seles, 17, knocked off
- Steffi Graf, who had held the position for a record 186 weeks.
- A difficult task, but her win over Graf in last year's French
- Open helped plenty. The Yugoslav celebrated with more than 100
- friends and family members at a Sarasota, Fla., club. The funny
- thing is, none of her tennis colleagues, except fellow teen
- Jennifer Capriati, called to congratulate her. That's O.K. with
- Seles. "Not too many of them know my phone number," she says.
