What happened to martina Hingis? I loved watching her play tennis, Wimbledon just isnt the same.

She's "retired."

She's only 23 or so, so I expect she may come back. But she has had chronic foot problems for some time.

Also, I'm not sure if she wasn't the last great champion of a different era in women's tennis. I'm not sure how well she'd match-up with Capriati/Williams sisters/Maurisimo types. I hope to see her again as well.

she was awfully fine

absorbentishe · 06-30-2003, 09:15 AM

She is a hottie, better than Anna, in her own kind of way.

she was a great player, maybe even the last of the female touch players.
but she retired with a recurring foot injury. but maybe she also realised that she possibly couldn´t always win against the emerging power game of the williams girls (and the rest).

i have to say that she was incredibly arrogant, more so than your average tennis star, and that to me is a major turn off...so i have to disagree with this ´fine´ thing.

I miss her so........

Yeah, i agree about her being better than Anna in her own way. Im considerably saddened by her absence from the game.

bundy · 07-30-2003, 05:31 PM

mind you everyone, the original Martina is still kicking ass!!

It seems a lot of players who became world class at a young age have a tremendous problem with injuries (Anna, Hingis, Venus Williams). Their bodies are probably not ready for the intense training and weight lifting they do -- much like young baseball pitchers.
