Monica Sells says she was diagnosed with her Muscle – Immunology’s neurological disease – three years ago.
Grand SAM is says at Grand Slam, she first noticed symptoms of the disease while swinging to hit her.
“I will play with some children or family members, and I will miss a ball. I was like,” Yes, I see two balls. “These symptoms that you cannot ignore.” “And for me, this is when this trip started. It took some time to really absorb it, and talk publicly about it, because it is difficult. It affects my daily life a lot.”
Sils, who won its first specialty, said the 1990 French Open, at the age of sixteen and played its last match in 2003, that she had been diagnosed with weights of Griver three years ago and publicly talking about her for the first time before the United States Open Championship for this month to raise awareness of the situation.
It is called the National Institute of neurological disorders and stroke “a chronic organic neurological disease that causes vulnerability in the voluntary muscles” and “the most influencing young adult women (less than 40 years) and the elderly (more than 60) but … can occur at any age, including childhood.” There is currently no known treatment.
The 51-year-old said that she had never heard of this condition until she was referred to a neurologist after she noticed symptoms such as double vision and weakness in her arms-“just my hair blow … it became very difficult,” she said-she said.
“When I was diagnosed, I was like,” Sils said. “What? “This is where – I can’t confirm enough – I wish I had someone like me talking about it.”
The disease can also cause difficulty swallowing and speaking and affects facial expressions.
Three decades have passed since Seles returned to the competition in the US Open in 1995, and reached the final, more than two years after she was stabbed in a championship in Germany.
“The way they welcomed … after my stabbing, I will never forget,” Sils said of New York fans. “These are the moments that stay with you.”
Sils says she learns to live a “new natural” and is distinguished by her health as another in a series of life steps that require adaptation.
“I had to, in terms of tennis, I think, re-setting-difficult to reset-several times. I invite the first difficult reset when I came to the United States when I was thirteen years of age [from Yugoslavia]. The language did not speak. My family left. It is a very difficult time. After that, it is clear that a great player, it is also reset, because fame, money, and attention changes [everything]It is difficult when the 16 -year -old is dealing with all of this. Then it is clear that my stabbing – I had to do a huge reset. “
And then, in fact, he is diagnosed with the Hanani: another reset. But there is one thing, as the children told I am: “You have to always adapt. This ball bounces back, and you just have to set it. This is what I do now. “
Sells won nine individual titles at the Grand Slamm during her career, where Wimbledon was the only specialty she missed, although she reached the final in 1992.
