MONICA SELES' AGENT SPEAKS OUT ON FILA LAWSUIT

     According to Monica Seles' agent, Stephanie Tolleson of IMG,
the multi-million dollar lawsuit filed on Tuesday against Seles
by Fila is "without merit."  Tolleson: "We could not have been
more forthcoming in telling Fila, the tennis community, the
public and the press that there was no timetable for Monica's
recovery from the brutal attack.  There were more than a dozen
press releases and statements issued, and we went out of our way
to publicly deny rumors of her imminent return following her
stabbing.  We have to assume this lawsuit is just Fila's way of
trying to cancel their ongoing contractual obligation to Monica."
Tolleson said, contrary to the allegations by Fila, there was
never a date promised for Seles' return (Dozoretz
