Seles Sues Tournament

Compiled From Wire Services

One day before the three-year statute of limitations would expire, Monica Seles filed a $16 million claim for lost earnings against the organizers of the Citizens Cup tournament where she was stabbed.

Seles, attacked at courtside by Guenter Parche on April 30, 1993, did not play again until last summer, when she won the Canadian Open.

Seles filed the claim for damages from the loss of earnings against the Deutscher Tennisbund (DTB) Rothenbaum Turnier GmbH, the commercial business that organized the Hamburg tournament, in the Regional Civil Court in Hamburg.
