Switzerland`s Fed Cup Champion Heinz Gunthart said he believed Martina Hingis` ability to play until he was 50 years old. She decides to end 37 years. Although its previous two refusals have been temporary, it seems real. You want to stop when you are at the top, not when you go down, said Hingis in Singapore before playing your last game, which was a loss to the semi-finals in the WTA Finals pairs.
The two times when she gave up before, she was not near the top. In 2003, he halted due to chronic pain and had not won a Grand Slam tournament for more than four years. After returning in 2006, Hingis climbed to number 6 in the world, but gradually went down and she dropped back in November 2007, 27 years after deciding not to challenge a positive cocaine test. She was later penalized not to play for two years. This time there is no dark side behind her decision. She is number one in the world of couples, sharing her last partner Chan Yun-Yan. So he really leaves while he`s at the top. After its unexpected return in 2013, she is really big fish in a small lake: with only couple successes, while some of her previous rivals continue to appear on bigger single scenes. Martina, already part of the Hall of Fame, remains a star, but she is no longer a superstar. Different from others, such as Leighton Hewitt, who was number one in the world in 20 years and won two Grand Slam titles before being shuffled off by the permanent brilliance of the Big Four (Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray). The world of couples is a parallel universe, and tournaments, even those of the Grand Slam, are often played by few spectators and are rarely broadcast on television. Hingis, with her technical play and phenomenal reflexes, managed to dominate a far lesser kingdom by reaching 20 grand pocket couples. But there was no way to escape from the sight of the fact that shortly after the Swiss woman delivered her last speech, Vinus Williams, who was also 37, he played a final of the WTA Finals. Despite losing to Caroline Wozniacki, she put an end to the most impressive season in her long career.
On the singles, Hinges rose very early. She began playing two more years and became one of these children-phenomena with which this sport was played. At 12, she won Roland Garros for girls, which is open to girls under 18 years of age. She is like a young Bobby Fisher, then says coach of Swiss women Roy Soghren. Martina enters professional tennis at 14 and very quickly begins to outsmart her more experienced colleagues with her varied and clever game and a mysterious smile that can express joy or contempt. She became the youngest Grand Slam champion at the age of 15 when, together with Helena Sukova, she won the Wimbledon pair title. At 16 he won the Australian Open and became the youngest with the title of the single-helmet singles in the 20th century and the youngest number one in the world. The Swiss had the game and the self-esteem. Before a match adviced by buy football predictions against Lindsay Davenport in Manhattan Beach, California, in 1997, the two tennis players were at the coin roll network to determine who would be?
