Seles stabbing

This tournament would later attract infamy for being the location where then World No. 1 Monica Seles was stabbed during a singles quarterfinal match with then World No. 14 Magdalena Maleeva by an obsessed fan of Steffi Graf, Günter Parche. The stabbing prompted an increase in security at subsequent tennis events.^[2] Seles would not return to professional tennis until August 1995 following the incident, and never played in Germany again.
