Monica Seles, loud-grunting tennis ace, famous for being stabbed by a Steffi Graf fan during a match, is now engaged to Thomas Golisano, who, in turn, is among the leading candidates to purchase the Buffalo Bills from the Wilson family.
Golisano has been dating the now-retired nine-time Grand Slam winner since 2009 and has put the Buffalo Sabres up for sale in 2011. At present, he is campaigning to purchase the Bills and keep the team in Buffalo.
72-year-old Golisano will most likely be survived by 40-year-old Seles at some point. Her marriage to the mogul, depending on prenuptial agreements and ownership structures, could place the tennis player in a position to own the team.
Golisano only recently revealed the news about the impending nuptials during his visit to Bishop Kearney High School in Irondequoit on Thursday. He also reiterated his interest in purchasing the team franchise and keeping it in Western New York.
It was in 2004 that Golisano retired from Paychex and has solely dedicated his time to philanthropy through the Golisano Foundation. He also ran for Governor in 1994, 1998, and 2002, for the Independence Party line, but he never got more than 14% of the votes.
Seles is a two-time US Open winner, bagging the trophy on two consecutive years, in 1991 and in 1992, who is famous for her two-handed swings and two-tone grunts. She spent over 175 weeks on the No. 1 spot and was elected to the 2009 International Tennis Hall of Fame.
Her most trying moment during her career in tennis was when she was injured by a spectator at a tournament held in Hamburg, Germany. It was during a changeover when she was suddenly stabbed in the back, literally. She steered clear from the tour for over two years and was never able to return to her earlier tour dominance.
