born Dec. 2, 1973, Novi Sad, Yugos.

Yugoslav-U.S. tennis player.

She went to the U.S. to train in 1985. She developed quickly and became one of the dominant women stars of the 1990s, achieving multiple wins in all grand-slam tournaments (French Open, 1990-92; Australian Open, 1991-93, 1996; U.S. Open, 1991-92) except Wimbledon, which she lost in 1991 and 1992 to her rival Steffi Graf.
