4 WTA titles, 2013 Wimbledon Finalist, and whatnot, that’s the legacy that Sabine Lisicki has left behind in tennis. Currently out of the courts due to pregnancy, the German star promised to make one more comeback before calling it a close. However, with just months away from return, she made the news, but this time, it was not about tennis. Sitting out of the court, she attended a tennis reunion where she got a chance to meet her favorite player, Monica Seles.

Sabine Lisicki, the retired WTA star, recently attended a heartfelt players’ reunion honoring the legendary coach Nick Bollettieri, who passed away last year. The event brought together tennis greats to celebrate Bollettieri’s enduring legacy, and Lisicki shared her special moments, including a memorable interaction with Monica Seles.

Lisicki proudly posed with Monica Seles, one of the finest players coached by Bollettieri, marking a dream moment for her. Sharing her joy, Lisicki said, “As well as @marypierce_75 who has been my idol growing up. I braid my hair on the court because of her and watched many of her practices on campus while working hard to become a pro one day myself.”

Lisicki also expressed gratitude to Tommy Haas for organizing the event. “Thanks @tommyhaasofficial for organizing this beautiful get together. Seeing so many wonderful people and all thanks to @officialnickbollettieri. Our paths crossed because of him. There is lots to be thankful for!” she added.

Nick Bollettieri, known for coaching stars like Andre Agassi and Monica Seles, revolutionized tennis training. His influence extended to inspiring players like Lisicki, who credited him for shaping her career and helping her meet her idols during her journey in tennis. While the event was a great reunion for both the stars, Lisicki made sure to speak words about the legend Monica Seles herself.
