Monica Seles: Nine-time Grand Slam Championship reveals gravity diagnosis for muscle weakness

Nine-time Grand Slam champion Monica Seles revealed she was diagnosed with muscle weakness – a neuromuscular autoimmune disease three years ago.

The 51-year-old chose to publicize in a very small number of long-term conditions, which can lead to muscle weakness to raise awareness ahead of this month’s U.S. Open.

SELES first notices the symptoms of this condition, which may affect most parts of the body – including the muscles that controlled the eyes about five years ago.

“I can play [tennis] With some kids or family members, I’ll miss a ball,” former world number one Celes told the Associated Press.

“I was like, ‘Yeah, I saw two balls.’ These are obviously symptoms you can’t ignore.

“It took me a lot of time to really absorb it, talk about it openly because it was a difficult thing. It affected my daily life.”

Sails decided to reveal her condition in the hope of using her platform to educate people about the disease, and there is no cure yet.

The United States captured her 16-year-old at the 1990 French Open and won eight major titles by the time she was 19.

However, in the 1993 competition in Hamburg, she was stabbed by fans with a knife, and she only won one and took away the sport’s time to recover.

Seles competed in her last match in 2003, winning 53 matches and winning 178 weeks in first place.
