And as far as i can tell Monica Seles isn't Hungarian, but Croatian.
Edit: yep, i was right, Monica seles was born in Novi Sad. Don't try to trick us Vaskez, it's hard enough as it is.

I'm not trying to trick you! Monika Szeles is hungarian! Novi Sad is the hungarian city of Nagyszombat, taken from Hungary after world war 1! There are still hundreds of thousands of hungarians and Szeles is a hungarian name (it means windy), so at least her dad was hungarian. Yeah, she did take the z out of the name but that's so the americans could pronounce it right.
Heh, on a certain webpage, they are also trying to claim Martina Hingis as hungarian, just because her dad was hungarian and she was born in Kassa (now Kosice) in Slovakia which used to belong to Hungary as well. But I don't count that as her mum is Czech.
