Okay I have to back my Italian Jasmine , she has improved so much this year, winning a WTA1000 title and making her 1st SF of a major, she might be small in stature, she has the variety in her game and likes to take the ball 'on' when she can, aggressive mind set.
Teen Queen has come on in leaps and bounds since she and Martinez hooked up

just dont see anything hingislike about Mirra.Hingis was a tennis genius who was ran out because of power tennis.
Hingis just took advantage of an opening between the Graf/Seles era and the Williams sisters/Clijsters/Henin era. Capriati really should have been the dominant player of 1994-1999, but shit happens.

Mirra reminds me more of an early 90s Seles than Hingis.

Oh please Mirra is nowhere an early version of Seles, the kid is talented she has a long way to go before anyone compares her to Moncia

Miss Baby face moves so well but can be a bit careless on her FH.. This one may still go 3 sets

Okay Jaz lets consolidate the break
Teen Queen over hitting at present and is costing her, needs to play more 'controlled aggression"

PE.. I dont think Martina Hingis took advantage of the " opening" it was just her time. Martina totally dominated her era with the exception of Jenny C who really was given too many "gifts" by the bias officiating IMO. Hingis was nearly unbeatable in women's doubles. @tossip Tossip is correct. "Hingis was a tennis genius who was ran out because of power tennis."

Hingis could be spoilt a bit, but her tennis was a joy to watch for such a lady of small stature.

The Baby Faced Italian is so fundamentally sound. Everything is text book.
