Hingis Makes Doubles Comeback

[the AntiPusher]

I heard that Davenport announced that Hingis will play

some singles in the fall :clap

:clap

---

Hingis can make any kinda come-back her heart desires.
OK in my book.

:heart::clap

 

[djmm]

YAWN!! :dodgy:

YAWN!! :dodgy:

What's wrong Dj. You don't think She will make an impact.

It looks like she put on some weight. Maybe she has worked

on her power, something she refused to do back before her

retirement.

I hope the first person she runs into in her first singles match is Serena or vika.

I hope the 1st person she runs into is AP:heart:

I hope the first person she runs into in her first singles match is Serena or vika.

I have been trying ( unsuccessfully ) to get some live

streaming of WTT to guage her game and see where

she is at but.......... I don't think she wants to be anywhere

near Serena or Vika on a court right now....

.....or later.

Unless her serve has improved any, I doubt she can make a significant dent in singles.

Come-back is coming along fine for now. First match was easy.

I tip Martina and Leander Peas for the USO Mixed doubles crown.

I tip Martina and Leander Peas for the USO Mixed doubles crown.

I just heard Martina lost her 2nd match since the comeback! Without seeing it, I venture to say it wasn't on her; probably Daniela failing her! During WTT match, it was reinterated that she's still in the top 4 all time holding the #1 ranking at 209 weeks with Graf, Martina, & Evert ahead of her; Seles at #5! Looks as if Serena has a long road ahead of her; GOATdon indeed! :laydownlaughing :nono :angel:

I'm going to take a long shot here, and assume Serena is comforted in the fact that although she doesn't have as many weeks at number 1 as Martina, that 16-5 tally of slams is in her favor.:laydownlaughing:clap

Doubtful because she's still trying to catch up to 4 or 5 other players in so many other respects! The reason's she scrambling at the end of her career is guilt from not taking tennis as seriously as these other stars! :nono

 

[tented]

There are at least two threads in the Compare Players forum to discuss Serena, and her place in history. This thread is about Hingis.

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

Bump to bring Martina back into the spotlight.
She plays tomorrow in Toronto.

Serena and Pavly

"Martina was also there. It was, you know, group singing. But they're much older than me so they were singing songs from the '90s that I don't really know that well. Me, I'm more in 2011 and 2012 songs."

Williams begged to differ.

Williams also gave props to her fellow former No.1, Hingis. "She's a good singer. She ended up being one of my favorite people to duet with. We're the same age so we wanted to sing all the same songs. I was like, 'Martina, do you want to sing this song?' She was a great plus one. Great karaoke buddy." -

Serena and Hingis - who were once bitter rivals - got to know each other better over the past year and half while Hingis was coaching at the academy owned by Williams' coach, France's Patrick Mouratoglou.

'It's great,' Williams said. 'She's so good and has great hands and sees the ball so well and she's fun.

'It's really kind of cool. I kind of am waiting for her singles comeback, but I'm not sure she will,' added Williams, who will play either Italy's Francesca Schiavone or South Africa's Channelle Scheepers.

 

[SIR360]

I'm glad that she is coming back to play doubles on the WTA tour. I can't wait to see how she handles some of the doubles specialists that are playing today. Here is an idea that gives me goosebumps: if Venus cannot play because of her issues, would Serena consider playing doubles with Martina? They are both associated with Patrick's academy and based on interviews given by Martina, they seem to have a friendly relationship now. Can u imagine the "Swiss Miss" with the "Queen" of tennis playing doubles together at slams?

NO!!!:nono

After three tournaments, her performance is dismal. Her record right now
is 50-50. She won 3 matches and lost 3 matches. In all three tournaments,
she won the first match and lost the second match. Of the three losses,
only one is to a quality team (Cincy loss to Sarah and Vincy). The prognosis
does not look good. She needs to get stimulated.

Funny I thought she was playing doubles; but all of it's on Hingis! Brilliant analysis! :clap :snigger

Q. When you see a player like Venus and she's still playing singles and obviously with what she's had to go through, did that motivate you that maybe I can still come back and play too?

MARTINA HINGIS: No, not really, because, when you lose as a player like her, it's not really encouraging because she plays well like first or second set and losing to players that she's not used to losing. So, no, that's not encouraging at all. Serena, yeah, it's a different story. She's got so much willpower, it's amazing. I really admire how she can still get out there and motivate herself all the time over and over all these years. But they were always ‑‑ like they had many more breaks. I mean, I had my break for three years, but, yeah, I was out there a lot younger. And I don't have the same body as them too. So it's a little bit different when you can hit four aces in a game. I mean, I don't have that weapon.
