Monica Seles, just moments after being stabbed by fanatic Günther Parke

Stefan Edberg said that the news of the attack suffered by Monica Seles caused him a tremendous impression and, at the same time, expressed concern about the physical proximity between the players and the crowd: "What happened to Monica is really terrible. I am very impressed by the images and, knowing the reason of the attack, I feel even more worried and surprised. A fact like this makes you reflect and you can not help thinking that the same thing can happen to you." The Swedish tennis player added: "You never know if you have a mad person behind you. That's what is really worrying."

Emilio Sanchez expressed similarly. The Spaniard stated that he also has received threatening letters and phone calls: "There are many crazy people," Emilio said. The eldest of the currently active Sanchez Vicario brothers  expressed concern about the future: "In tennis there are not so many passions as in football, but what has happened is pretty sad and can be a dangerous precedent. I think that we as players should ask for more protection, especially when we go to and off the courts."
