Jennifer Capriati vs Martina Hingis 2001 Charleston Highlights

[@Gitfiddle]

The all court spin master vs the flat hard hitting punishing groundstroker. Great style match up.

[@jamesb821]

An awesome match, wish Jen still played

[@Feenboss]

YES YES YES!!!! I watched this match live back in the day and I have waiting to see it again!!!! Thanks so much!

[@chrismartino3519]

Something about the pair of them that really made you want to tune in. What was it? Oh i remember now. They both had attitude. Serious attitude!!!

[@greggraham9785]

[@alexjking89]

***** thanks for making these highlights!

[@JamieOTennisVids]

Thanks for uploading the match. :)

[@Freshie55]

Thank you for the highlight. It was definitely a lot closer than the scoreline suggests!

[@wozniacki15]

Even though Capriati wasn't my favorite of players, there's no denying that she was a beautiful striker of the ball and she had amazing footwork and anticipation.

shame that wasmt enough to topple henin at the us open

+Baritone Master She was. My favourite player, at that time. But nowhere near as aggressive as Serena, Venus, Henin or Davenport... *in 2001*. These players were all hitting a lot more winners than Jennifer, against the same opponents (which is the true measure of a player's basic style). Jennifer actually *backs off* balls that Serena and Justine would simply hit for outright winners in this period. As at point 3.25. It could be frustrating as Serena and Justine both made the matches they played against Capriati about them, their own winners (and errors).... and Capriati would scurry about the court counterpunching and retrieving. Very well, i might add but still...

[@olaraay]

Adam boxers i agree the matches vs serena were all about serena to some degree. Her unforced errors and winners

[@paskferr]

+Adam boxers I agree on everything, she couldn't let her shots go, I was like she never allowed her tennis to go full throttle. I don't understand why she didn't go for it more, especially with the forehand.

[@guicon2007]

Late 90s & early 00s golden era in women´s tennis!

[@pennsydude9723]

Jen was one hell of a tennis player. Wish she had played longer. This was a great era of women's tennis.

[@paskferr]

Would love to watch the Roland Garorros semifinal these two played a couple of weeks later

[@Rune8119]

Great quality. I miss this kind of style opposition.

[@seanklingensmith7572]

Capriati was going to town on that Hingis 2nd serve in the 1st set. In a few of those clips she was a foot in front of that baseline uncorking on those softballs. Those two ladies always played each other tough. I miss those days.

[@jaysimon2180]

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for uploading this. This style of play (Martina"s) is sadly absent from women's tennis.

[@pablogalarza1592]

Hola desde Argentina, Gran partido de tenis

[@encinobalboa]

Watch the footwork. So efficient, so graceful.

[@deewells4259]

where is the GREEN SOFA???

[@jm7804]

Jennifer was such a clean ball striker. Every shot was so solid and hit with authority. If she was on, then you were in for a tough match.

[@cupidslover3]

Capriati was great to watch as was Hingis. I can see how Capriati got shoulder issues from that forehand....very jerky sometimes especially when stretched out wide and the racket goes around her head

[@1958mlvc]

cupidslover3 She definitely was an excellent striker of the ball as was Mary Pierce when she was full throttle.

[@Gitfiddle]

She catches the ball a bit late and very flat. That tends to send the racket over the same shoulder.

[@olaraay]

really wanted hingis to win this match

[@Davewise1965]

A great match between two great players and none of that ridiculous screaming and shrieking every time the ball is hit. It just shows how unnecessary all that screaming is.

[@r.forrestblount9222]

Dave, grunting can be loud but it helps to strengthen your ball striking timing.

[@jamesr2164]

I actually like watching the players that grunt, because they seem like they are giving every shot their all out there, but then again I watch a lot of men's tennis so I'm used to it.

[@cambium0]

capriati could hit through hingis, hingis couldn't hit through capriati. Calling capriati a pusher doesn't seem quite right--she really had some great winners, great defensive plays, always hard hitting. Capriate was strong and reliable on both sides, no holes in her game for Hingis to exploit. I guess the scoreline might have been closer on hard courts--Hingis could actually hit some winners.

[@nikosgr9290]

well actually their H2H tells a different story as it is 5-4 in Hingis favour.

[@pablogalarza1592]

Hingis a pesar de haber perdido el 1er set supo cambiar de estrategia y emparejar el partido pudo ser para cualquiera de las dos

[@PALMER3832]

Tinita Hingis.
