For three years, her father taught Monica the secrets of the game using the "World Tennis" magazine. At the age of 10, Monica won her first tournament in Venezuela.
A year later, she signed a contract with the company "Advantage International," and she and her father received 700 Deutsche Marks monthly.
After just one and a half years, at a tournament in Orlando, renowned specialist Nick Bollettieri approached Karoy with the intention of taking Monica under his wing and training her at his world-famous academy.
