Sanchez Vicario blames parents for missing cash

ARANTXA Sanchez Vicario has blamed her parents for losing an estimated 45 million euros (US$60 million) in career earnings through mismanagement.

The 40-year-old Sanchez Vicario let loose against her whole family in a book of memoirs published on Tuesday. She said her parents were obsessed with her succeeding in a career which netted four grand slam singles titles, and even tried to interfere in her love life.

In the book, Sanchez Vicario says her parents, her father in particular, exercised tight control over who would train her and other aspects of her career, and her winnings. She got a monthly payment from her father and trusted him to invest the rest.

"I never doubted that my father would manage my assets in the most efficient and beneficial way," she wrote.

She retired in 2002, and after "breaking free" of her parents' influence, "the surprise came. Then, the disappointment. The surprise of finding myself without resources after a career full of successes and therefore winnings."
