[@htownhomie06]

so glad this finally posted!!!! I remember watching this match in college. pretty prophetic. a mostly unheralded SW, unseeded, playing the World #1 her first time and in a QF. She 6-1s her in the 2nd, has Hingis throwing her racquet in the 3rd and had 2 match points at 5-3. Inexperience showed up but I'm sure Martina saw the writing on the wall here. Epic match.

[@TheSportslover2010]

Injury didn't end Hingis's career...she got overpowered out of the WTA by the big hitters like Venus, Serena, Capriati, and Davenport. Hingis's footwork was pretty amazing, but her serve was a huge liability. Finesse can only take you so far. If you want to win slams, you better have powerful serves, great footwork, stamina, lethal forehand/backhand and smart defense. Serena has most of these qualities (if not all) while Hingis didn't.

C'mon man, only 5 GS titles???? 99.9% of players go through their entire careers wishing to even compete in a final. I think most players would kill for just 1 GS. Serena went on to become arguably the greatest of all time, but don't discount Martina's contribution to the sport, and she's still playing great doubles with Flavia Pennetta.

[@dinh5532]

Hingis' greatness is what she was able to accomplish at such a YOUNG age!! None of the others can say that, no matter how many they win.

dinh She was something unique when she came along, and I still remember that 1997 year fondly. I always speak about Martina with respect because of her contribution in that era.

She had the most promising career ever. Winning a wimbledon throphy at age 17 is fucking sick. But sadly injuries and drug accusations didn't let her play more. But anyways she is a tennis legend.

[@edgarcasey]

The genius, raw talent and mastery of Martina Hingis...hard to fathom. And of all the players in the Open era, these two players, along with Maria Sharapova, showed us the greatest desire, the greatest hunger. This trio, they just really hate losing.

[@georgebasham2279]

The Swiss Miss beats Serena, who of course goes on to be the GOAT. Hingis is an underrated player, she did not have the physicality of other top players, just an amazing will to win, a great variety of shots and was very creative on the court. This is a perfect match as Martina was still near her prime and Serena was starting to become the force of nature she developed into.

[@broncoguy4862]

Hingis benefited from Graf's absence, but her eventual decline began when the power players started refining their games. They basically blew Hingis off the court. Graf did so consistently, too, owning a 9-2 h2h against her.

How young Serena and Martina look here, well 19 years is quite a time lol. Unbelievable match from Martina, rocked the singles in that year and 19 years later she's rocking the doubles.

[@Eboe89]

Two of my favorite players. Hingis had such an interesting, unique game, I always loved to watch her play. She and the Williams sisters had superstar games and personalities and consistently competed in the later rounds of every tournament which is what made the era from 1999-2004 such a strong one, especially compared to today.

[@htownhomie06]

agreed. I always refer to the 1997-2001 as the true golden era b/c of the variety of players, games & generations. there wasn't a true dominant player at that time. so it was all a game of matchups and divergent personalities. glad to see the WS truly takeoff in 2002 but it wasn't the same. today's players should thank the bigger paychecks on that era that made the women's tour must-see tv and more popular than the men's.

[@nativeone]

Ethan Stoops the attitudes is what got everyone's attention. once that happened, people saw just how good the women's game was becoming and that there were true rivalries forming. it was during this time that the women's game was much more popular than the men's.

[@harveydodd8803]

Yeah, Graf's early retirement, Seles' attack, and Hingis' foot injury really stole what was rounding out as the greatest era in tennis history. Would have been awesome watching Graf and Serena playing Wimbledon finals another 3-5 years. Hingis and Serena at Australia for 10 years would have been incredible. And I thoroughly believe Seles would have passed Evert at the French. I guess every sport has those what if questions but women's tennis sure had an unlucky 10 years from Seles' stabbing through Hingis's debilitating injuries.

[@Erick92BC]

Have you ever seen Serena play? If you've watched her play more than a few times, you've seen her hit all kinds of return winners off of all kinds of serves.

[@ipiap]

Of course her return game is great but not against very powerful serves. She wouldn't easily return her own serves for sure. And the players I mentioned were quite good in that respect too even if Serena is arguably the best one.

Hingis was far from being a veteran player. She was 18 years old her. Serena was 17 years old.

[@Leomerya12]

You are sooo correct. Then Patrick improved her technique, and then her athletic ability started to wane because she relied on her serve and strokes. Ignoring the pregnancy, she never really tried to get super fit and muscular again after 2016; she didn't have to, because she was so skilled. But then she got TOO slow. You need muscle to be explosive.

[@gk891]

Interesting to see a baby version of Serena Williams here as she hadn't even been a pro for a full year yet at this tournament. Already so close to challenging the top players.

[@magnetmac1]

Serena wasn't "so close" in challenging the top players at the time. She started challenging the top players right off the block on the VERY FIRST main draw she ever qualified for - Serena ranked 304 beat two consecutive top-10 players (no. 7 Mary Pierce and no.4 Monica Seles) on her first main draw.

[@gk891]

Serena always looked to be the more talented one of the sisters. Her game was more technically sound even though back in those days she was more erratic. Her serve was more consistent and unlikely to unravel like Venus' who served harder. Now that serve is regarded as arguably the greatest shot in tennis history.

[@eddielamelgreen]

True. And she had more fight.

[@magnetmac1]

Serena's inexperience showed when holding Hingis on few match-points and when serving for the match - today's Serena would have put the match away without even trying too hard. This footage simply shows that even tennis Greats had moments of inexperience in their rookie beginning - this is Serena's.

The surgical precision drop shots. The cleverly angled passing shots. The retrieval skils. These are the reasons why Hingis decapitated the competition during that time.

***** I couldn't care less what kind of issues she had! Fact is, she had the best technique ingame and the greatest variety in shots... She may not be as good as Serena, but she sure as hell had the most beautiful tennis and moved really well behind the ball...

[@dontlaughtoomuch11]

***** "Natural" she was extremely insightful and knew how to read the game, but she lacked a lot of power when the game changed with the Williams sisters... And Martina didn't have that extra step a onehander has, notice how top players who play one handed backhands always have that extra step in the court to create more angles in comparison to a typical two hander... That was Maria's best match ever, but Maria isn't near the category of Henin or Venus for that matter... Overrated, overhyped and received easy draws most of the times putting Serena in the other half, who usually has the more difficult players to face! Which reminds me, how was the beatdown Serena gave to Maria in Wimbledon a couple of weeks ago? Didn't it feel good? :)

[@dontlaughtoomuch11]

***** Why do you call that linewomen an asian weasel type?! She was doing her fucking job! Should she be intimidated because we're talking here about Serena?! There are cameras everywhere, admitted it wasn't very clear wether it was or it wasn't. From my perspective it did look like a foot fault But to say that lineswoman was gunning for her, is just crying wolf! And Serena was blatantly lying during her interview, and one of her team members gave her a signal to "be quiet" during the interview because they signaled to her that she was in fact lying trough her teeth! "I never make any foot faults in this tournaments and suddenly I get called so many times on it, it's clear...." (sudden silence and looks up to a certain person in her management) and gives a distracted impression and finishes with "whatever, I don't know"... Hmmm.... Regarding Serena being a biological male, I never made such assumptions... I do believe she's classless and can't swallow a loss and never gives credit where credit due. Serena lost because of her own damn fault...

I love the exquisite shot making and brilliant placement Hingis had, all but lost with the Women's game now - began with the Williams (but to their credit since they did play in the age of strategy, they've played so long, they play more of it than the current crop, save Wozniacki), unfortunately was strengthened by Sharapova, such a boring age of just power hitting, Henin and Clijsters was truly a breath of fresh air... and today well, let's see, there is potential but the temptation to just hit your way through the game has brought dividends to the Williams and its the current status quo.

Lots of stupid: political, racial, and juvenile comments on this post. Here is the real story. What the Williams sisters reflected was a permanent" shift is women's tennis is played; power and aggressiveness. Other women had a powerful game but they were not aggressive as fast as they were. Before them the standard was to Build a point. Seles, Capriati, Graf and several others all contributed substantially to the power and aggressive game as it is now; and frankly each could have gone toe to toe with the Williams sisters, but they were the result of the prior generation. I loved watching Hingis, she has a great game....... but her primary flaw was her inability to be CONSISTENTLY aggressive and hit with pace!!! She is more of a tactician, she'd build and construct opportunities to get into an offensive position to get a point; Where as Serena would simply pound an aggressive shot for a winner!

[@mckavitt13]

The Williams sisters ruined female tennis just as Nadal has ruined male tennis. They should have gone into weight lifting. When they are gone, maybe true tennis will return. All those power people...

I appreciate your point J. You are very correct in the point of the true transition of the sport, before and after the Williams sisters. A point very much unrecognized by the American general public. On another note, Serena lost this match to a player of great skill, no disrespect to Serena's skills. To look at the way Hingis responded to the sheer athletic prowess of Serena, keep her head and win is very commendable, although Serena's hate of defeat is clearly visible. Serena showed no grace at all hardly looking at Hingis, in a career of outstanding presence this is one flaw in Serena's game.

Yes that's right, I agree with you, I just like Nathalie Portman because she looks like Hingis, in fact the Swiss Miss has a cute face of a show business star.

[@venicesurfer]

Serena! Future 8 time champ!

[@tenisfemeninodeargentina4755]

lOVE TENNIS Martina. Love tennis Serena and Venus.

[@hongcongphan5240]

Beautiful Martina,and her Agenda.

[@khv6748]

Hingis serve was no joke had perfect placements though not so much on pace the placement on the serve was excellent

[@berthagarcia9818]

What i like about serena is always humble what a beautiful handshake

[@elmarobberts5128]

Huh?

[@wel7652]

[@ericneuville6836]

@@wel7652 why you guys always have problem whenever pple say something positive abt Serena?Stf up if you dont like her ..We love her ..ok?And she Will always be the world champion

[@clash5j]

Last time I looked it takes two people to make a handshake "beautiful"

[@QuangNguyen-ng5zh]

Sarcasm is lost among the commentators here lol

[@gloriaperlaza6848]

Amazing Serena Williams... The Queen of Tennis 👏👏👏😚...

[@darrendavenport3334]

LMAO she just got her fat ass handed to her at the U.S. Open by a teenager...

[@diegoolivera3196]

Hingis 😍

[@frankzito8653]

Serena's "handshake." LOL

[@verdammtnochmal5863]

Look at the handshake. At least Williams did not spend her time shouting on the court. Much quieter and much more enjoyable.

[@magnetmac1]

What's more enjoyable is that Serena has set the standard of Slams in the Open Era.

[@roberttrail7013]

WTF? Serena grunted her way through the match. Hingis didn't make a sound.

[@ВасилийПупкин-т6я7ф]

I have been playing tennis for thirty years. This is the best I've seen.

[@janjr165]

Wow. You haven’t seen much in 30 years! 😂

[@dollyseguin1386]

Miss Martina playing 😍

[@Ryan2008Philippe]

In the end, Martina's style was not able to withstand Serena and Venus' power tennis. Her substance abuse also got the better off her. Had she been more disciplined, she could have stayed longer in the game and made it very interesting.

[@JMLCK78]

ryan philippe Bullshit.

[@Ryan2008Philippe]

Manners! It is people like you who make the web a hellhole!

[@JMLCK78]

ryan philippe Knowledge! It's idiots the ones who make Earth a hellhole.

[@stingstungmemae1297]

+Jg Talented1 Hingis left the first time because of her injuries. I think she had problem with her ankles. I vaguely remember her blaming the shoemaker Sergio Tacchini for her injuries. I think she sued them but since I didn't care for Hingis, I never kept myself informed about the case.

[@JMLCK78]

***** Source?

[@user-be5qg7mr1s]

hingis was so good back then, these angles, hitting behind serena alot

[@neilmodino9284]

serena will be a legend whether i like it or not . sharapova she is good but not enough nerves to beat serena.

[@barbarasaldivar1554]

Neil Modino Srerena only had brute force! Sharapova is more technique! Anna Kournikova has always been in top 5 without anabolics!!!!!!!!!! Anna could slay Sharapova if she hadn't injuries!

[@arathgomez615]

Barbara Saldivar sharapova technique ? LMFAO get your white brain washed assed outta her with that bull shit.

[@lastvirginmedia6243]

That Hingis got 5GS during this Graff era tells u much about Monica Seles loss to the game during the time she was stabbed.

[@vincelawrence6909]

Hingis play the court very well, the Williams Sister hit to many balls direct to the player, Venus is still doing it 2019 Rogers

[@JamesFrew1]

vince lawrence because changing direction of the ball takes incredible talent-Hingis had it, Clijsters could do it, now Bencic has it. Most players can’t do it and it was certainly not Venus’s forte.

[@vincentmayes9257]

I love hingis

[@mechagojira6951]

At 22:44 of course great class shown by the " im gonna kill you " to a linesperson " one time. Martina Hingis .....ALL CLASS. i know in 99 against Graf....but other than that ...
