Young and No. 1
</hdr><body>
<p>By Sophfronia Scott/Reported by Wendy Cole

<p> It took a little time, but tennis pro Monica Seles grunted,
squealed and two-fisted her way to become the youngest No.
1-ranked female player in the world. Seles, 17, knocked off
Steffi Graf, who had held the position for a record 186 weeks.
A difficult task, but her win over Graf in last year's French
Open helped plenty. The Yugoslav celebrated with more than 100
friends and family members at a Sarasota, Fla., club. The funny
thing is, none of her tennis colleagues, except fellow teen
Jennifer Capriati, called to congratulate her. That's O.K. with
Seles. "Not too many of them know my phone number," she says.
