I saw Monica (and got her autograph) in the summer of 2001 at the Canadian Open in Toronto. It was that amazing match against Serena (I think). Prob her last decent year on tour.
Even in her peak years, Monica could be vulnerable to players who hit hard from the baseline. In those days it was really only Graf and Capriati who could play her like that, and it would have been interesting to see how Monica would have fared against peak Davenport and Pierce

Seles was up a set and 4-2 against Hingis at the Chase Championships two months before this match, as well. :(

Capriati also seemed mentally stronger against Seles and Serena both than she was against both Graf or Venus for some reason.
