Overview

• Seles revealed she first noticed double vision and limb weakness while playing tennis about five years ago and received her diagnosis three years ago.
• She kept the condition private as she adjusted to the disease’s unpredictable muscle fatigue and impact on everyday tasks.
• Myasthenia gravis is a rare, chronic autoimmune disorder that disrupts nerve-to-muscle communication, causing weakness in voluntary muscles and lacking a cure.
• Ahead of the U.S. Open, Seles is partnering with argenx on a Go for Greater campaign to raise public and patient awareness of the neuromuscular disease.
• She frames this disclosure as another “hard reset” in a life marked by career interruptions and uses her experience to encourage patients to advocate for themselves.
