Martina Hingis vs Monica Seles 2000 YEC Final Highlights

[@fabriceborioli4032]

The last 6 months of 2000 and the beginning of 2001 is where Martina played best in my opinion. Her fitness was also amazing

[@blackout7835]

I think 1999 best form in my option

[@dinomijatovic3921]

I agree plus end of 98 and beginning of 99

[@albertocarvajaldetorres1892]

And 1997.

martina hingis was one f my fvrt player

Hinges was crying after she won because she knew she had two bad ankles. That year she got an operation on one of them. So, felt very that she was still able to win even though she was the number one seed. Martina's biggestistake was playing doubles tournaments as well as singles. Add to all that constant practice and by age 20 here her hips and ankles were all worn out. If she just played singles tournaments she would have dominated at least another five more years even beating Serena when she reached her prime. Don't over do anything in live.

I hate KZbin auto correction. It's hard to even type on this overly controlled website.

[@ipiap]

I think the first operation took place at the end of 2001, the second one in May 2002.

[@stefanmoravcik598]

I don't think she would've fared any better against Serena if not for those senseless doubles' matches, but it definitely played a role in several of her losses, most notably the AO 2001 and 2002 finals against Capriati. She was all but fresh in that scorching Australian heat, and the doubles definitely contributed to it.

[@Ricky-mo6mv]

Martina always played a smart game against Monica. She stood very close to the baseline and took everything very early. She robbed Monica of time and was able to put her in trouble. Martina was always at her best and played remarkably well when she struck the ball early. This is the same style she executed very effectively whenever she had a win against the Williams sisters. If she backed up too much, she became too defensive and usually ended up losing those matches.

[@3883melange]

So good!!

[@paskferr]

Unbelievable that 11th game of the first set, pity Monica could not pull this off.

[@netfun8087]

I think you mean 12th game

[@paskferr]

@@netfun8087 correct, when Seles was serving at 5-6 in the first

[@SOT233]

Monica's game was unmatched in the history of women's tennis. But her limited fitness and mobility after her comeback kept her from becoming the GOAT. She still remains one of the legends of the game though.

[@ManuelPabloArnao]

Remember crying after this match for like half an hour. Gutted at Monica’s choking.

[@Samramos4488]

BIG BIG CORRECTION..MONICA DIDN'T CHOKE. SHE PLAYED NORMAL LIKE A TRUE CHAMPION

[@ManuelPabloArnao]

@@Samramos4488 She was up a set and 4-2 in the second.

[@valentinodelpiero4861]

7:03 Monica trademark rally, dragging rivals from side to side 😁

[@jess4metoo]

Indeed! That was vintage Seles!

[@Ricky-mo6mv]

Nobody will ever surpass the ruthless brilliance of Monica Seles commanding the court with her ground strokes. She invented angles that hadn’t even been conceived of before, and she was consistently able to execute her shots with powerful precision. Her raw talent and mental fortitude in her first career is still hard to fully comprehend. She was a phenomenon.

[@NotSettlingForSecondBest]

Agassi did the same in the 90s. Sharp angles taking the ball early.

[@whfan007]

Just 10 less pounds and Seles would win all these matches.

[@timcurran2857]

Hingis had no weapons. Consistency vs an out of shape player gives her a slight edge

[@ieple2040]

Love hingis

[@robertavies1969]

Monica looks so unfit.

[@nonsenseaska6107]

Monica is past her prime.. Foot is slpwer 5 times

[@conuinestor]

Never been a fan of this arrogant player,other than becoming the youngest ever female player to win a grand slam singles title,nothing more can be said about her
