Women’s tennis was at its peak in the late 90’s. So many excellent players and personalities.

[@lovealways729]

so true!

[@taopaille-paille4992]

Beautiful champion and one of the greatest ever. I admired her way to fight on court and to out-smart her opponents during whole matches

[@IHO2691]

My favorite player. Such a talented and smart player. Hope Martina stays around the tour for many more years to come.

[@prokastinatore]

Mrs. Hingis is using her eyes focused on every changing atmosphere. Open minded. Awaked. Lovely. She's a natural and polite, strong woman. Thank you so much for uploading this!

[@redd605]

My first grand slam was the Wimbledon final watching Martina , become the youngest Wimbledon finalist and winner in Wimbledon history , double final , I still have the programme from that match. but great to see history in the making

[@MarioBeart]

She was a tennis genius, plain and simple.

[@malaydhar917]

Hingis ! Very humble ! big- hearted ! Gentle ! Intelligent a lot ! Always smiling ! Talk nicely ! That is why always lovable from the day she started international tennis and till now ! 👋👋🌹🌹💚💚

She was my first ever crush. Still love her.

I had a big crush on her, she was so cute

[@clarencemendonca579]

Definitely one of my all time favourites. Isn't she lovely?. Genial, genial, every bit of her. God Bless You, Dear Martina. Thank You for the memories. Stay Healthy.

Hard to believe we're the same age, she's had so much of success from an early age, and here I'm struggling to make my first $10k.

[@anntengocampo1455]

ahe is one of my top 5 greatest players . the 1999 French Open was one of the unforgettable games, but it happened for a remarkable reason...and that was Steffi and Agassi's start of their love story

The best and most talented female player :)

[@ecliqxse9591]

This is the only time i watch tennis when she is in action😍

[@thathawaiiandude787]

Dang, she’s still pretty. And that amazing smile🥰 Always loved to watch interviews she would do during her playing days. And LOVED that she was not afraid of playing the Williams sisters and would talk 🤬hit about going to beat them too. Her record against the two was pretty amazing. Against Serena she finished her career with a 7-6 record with Serena edging her. And, with Venus, Hingis has the better record in 21 meetings at 11-10. That era was the last times I watched tennis on weekends. I miss the women that played in the pre-2000’s. Players like Hingis, Steffi Graf, Jen Capriati, Monica Seles, Lindsey Davenport, And even prior to that, when watching with my dad, who was a State finalist in California back in the ‘60’s, as a kid when Martina Navratilova, Tracey Austin, Chris Evert-Lloyd among them.

[@trommelbiel]

One of the most talented players 👏.

[@femu27]

Thank you for this interview! She's so classy and fun!

[@brotherandrew6227]

I always thought she had great charisma and she was fun to watch. She has always been attractive.

[@michaelm7422]

She got hooked on the blow And that's 1 here career started to take a turn for the worst I will never forget her press conference after she tested hot for cocaine 😞

[@theire483]

She was a heel, had very bad sportsmanship.

[@akademitenis6963]

Thank you for interview Ksenia Pervak, Did you ask about 99 roland garros final match to Martina Hingis out of interview ? Was the ball in or out really ? Because we were very sad for Martina Hingis and we saw in. She played unbelieveble match against steffi graf. When i was a child I always watched her every matches and loved. In my opinion Martina Hingis is the most talented tennis player all the time. And she always will live in our hearts as the champion. Never worry Legend Martina. The French there didn't deserve to watch a talent like you. Greetings and loves from Turkey.

[@paolosooinvernizzi]

She was an ass...e in front of graf. 0 class.

[@austinseven4720]

I know your comment is 2 years old, but I'm replying anyway! That ball was almost certainly in. I have no doubt that if Hawkeye existed back then, it would've been overruled. Unfortunately, Martina lost every ounce of her composure after that. I'd never seen her break down mentally like it. I often wondered if she was genuinely overwhelmed for the first time in her career. Up against a tennis legend, an outright hostile and borderline vitriolic crowd, desperately trying to win the missing Grand Slam from her cabinet. On top of being world number 1 with the expectation of winning it.

[@IIJAYESS]

Ksenia asks sensible questions, but best of all she listens to the answer without interrupting. Most of the time.

[@mohanpujar7403]

She is very articulate in her speech! Although, she couldn't play the power game of Williams sisters, her shot-making was intelligent and placements were accurate and tough to reach! She could have won many more grand slams!!!

[@Lovegainers5]

Mohan: She held her own in the power era!

[@austinseven4720]

The injuries didn't help. That's why she initially retired at 22. Martina remains my favourite player, but her serve was a liability in the power era. I often wondered why she didn't look at someone like Henin in that regard, who was even smaller than Martina but her serve was still a weapon. Despite that shortcoming, even when she returned to the sport the first time, she remained a huge threat to the top players. Genius doubles player too, proven by her successes in that area with so many different partners. Just born a fraction too late. If she'd been around in the late 80s early 90s she would undoubtedly have won more singles slams.

[@jbranche8024]

She was a very talented, focused, hard-working player. She struggled with some power and fast hitting players and players who hit the ball very deep. Watched her a couple times at Saddlebrook against different hitting players. I like how open she is about everything about tennis.

[@KnightRider872]

I could never understand how she managed to be a top player. I was told you have to have a champions serve and be taller and stronger than other players to be champion. Martina Hingis proved this all wrong.

[@MrBritishComedy]

One of the problem was also that her confidence was broken in Roland Garros 1999. She was nene the same player after that.

[@bharatsethi6802]

True Champion and so humble. Very intelligent too. Nice interview. Thanks.

[@citygirl5705]

You think she's humble? Maybe she sounds that way in an interview, but I think she's a cocky little bitch on court. Or certainly used to be. That's what I've always loved about her.

[@Empy003]

[@thathawaiiandude787]

She’s Def ONE of the best, imho. As I posted earlier…her record proves this by having records against two of THEE premier players in Serena Williams (7-6, Williams with the lead)…and Venus(11-10) being VERY competitive and strong. I thought she was the pitcher, Greg Maddox, of the women’s tennis world. Able to pin point her shots to deadly accuracy. And mastered the speed of her return serves and volleys. But, imho…. She’s in the elite class of Steffi, the Williams, Martina Navratilova and Monica Seles.

[@pgarciaAP]

@@thathawaiiandude787 nope. Arrogant. Won a couple of grad slams (singles) in the years between real talented players. Then settled into boring doubles.

[@PhilipStacey-ty2em]

why does she not mention graf ? and the french open, and the end of her winning slams, dont get it, that was the defining moment of her career.

Man, she was a dominant player. At her best it just seemed like nobody could beat her. (Actually injuries beat her).

[@joeyconvery2055]

Martina's game was flawless...she is one of the very best. I think Monica Seles before the stabbing was almost unbeatable in the Grand Slams.

[@scswp6945]

@@joeyconvery2055 I tend to disagree, I’m afraid. I enjoyed watching Martina play because she did use the court intelligently and could compete well, both on the baseline and in the forecourt. However, to say her game was flawless is, to my mind, stretching it a bit. Her game dominated for a very short window and at a time when Graf was largely injured and off the scene. Players came along who could overpower her; they were mentally ready to beat her in the big tournaments and were ready to close her ‘window’ of dominance - hence the reason why Hingis won 3 of her 5 grand slam singles titles in 1997. After that, people (including a returning Graf in 1998) were not afraid of her, despite her 1997 successes. Hingis was a good player, but in singles, she really cannot be classed as ‘one of the very best’ in my opinion.
