She is the most honest n loving person I have ever known!
You think every tennis player who "wants the truth" should be allowed to cross the net?
How often do you think Graf thought the linespeople were wrong but stayed on her side of the net anyway?
How do you explain away Hingis calling Mauresmo "half a man", Novotna "too old" and saying Graf's "time has passed"? How don't you understand that most decent people on this planet will rejoice when someone like this gets her ass handed by one of the oldtimers?
How do you know? Umpire didn't even see it from up..
Nobody knew the ball was out.., even umpire nor linesman had no idea, and they were pointing one meter closer wrong. It was hit closer to the right side.. Look yourself, and then make judgement!
Only Graf saw it, because she had it just in front of her.., but of course, she didn't tell.. If she plays fair, she would round the spot at least..
Hey Hoff.., you must be a German or French, right??
@Hoffenheim08 Even Mother Theresa of Calcutta could tranform in an arrogant classless bitch in RG: I don 't say M Hingis is not a arrogant classless bitch I don t know her óf course. She is just a proud teen that thinks he deserves to win and she acts like this two or three points (out or in) are the most important things in tennis history and in humankind history.It is quite embarrassing. The rest of the game it was painful to watch that day if you are not a Graf fan or a
@sabane78 brat hater.She is like a tennis freak that can ´t stand those "iniquities"
I think she was mad with the crowd for support Graf since minute 1 and celebrate her errors.The rest of the match It is so awful we should say: it was the last grand slam of the most successful tennis player ever and forget the rest
The crowd was definitely pro-Graf from the beginning. But that was no wonder as she was by far the most popular player in the 90s, especially at the end of her career.
And Hingis had insulted French player Mauresmo a few months before because she was gay.
But the mood became nasty only after this incident at 6-4 2-0. Hingis had it coming, she fully deserved the abuse, IMO.
I feel sorry for her. Reached the top at 17, 18 years. When she joked with Novotna after winning Wimbledon in 1997, Novotna was already 29 and still waiting to win Wimbledon. She would finally win it a year later, aged 30. Martina is 31 now, she should still be fit to play. I think her ambitious mother rushed things. It is not normal to retire at 22. Martina was taken to Switzerland aged 6, her mother didn't let her see her Dad.
Anyone can see that the umpires were pointing at a completely wrong spot at 0:20 , like a yard away really. Just compare to 0:54. You expect better refereeing at that level. But Hingis should´ve been above that, pity.
La calidad de la imagen es mala, pero la bola parece buena. La contestación de arbitro y juez de linea es para protestar, mientras el público se pone en contra. Yo lamento que sucediese. Hingins era una gran jugadora. Y aquí no se ve bien, pero el público se le echó encima. El público deplorable.
I think the ball was in. The refree makes confusion, and she think it's clear. The crowd shouth against her. I really don't like what the crowd did.
@bursburuburs Martin era una gran jugadora pero la cabeza , como los ves acá, le jugaba malos momentos . En otra ocación , frente a Graf , creo ,ella saca de abajo y despues ¡¡¡ se pone a llorar y viene la madre y el público se le pone en contra busca el video Rudeness off the French Crowd
@martinr345345 : Precisamente lo que destacó del juego de Hingins fué su buena cabeza. Efectivamente este día no, porque lo que cuentas de sacar por abajo fué al final de este mismo partido. Pero, repito, fué la actitud del público, además de la entereza de Graf, lo que le hizo a ella, que tenía 18 añitos, perder totalmente su estabilidad emocional.
Ella se enoja porque cuando van a mirar el pique marcan varios centimetros para el centro de la linea y no donde picó ¡¡¡ porque se enojaría con el partido a favor y sin muchos problemas ¡? igual estuvo mal en cruzar , pero de todas formas ella tenía razón la pelota fue buena y , si no hubiera sido así se enojo porque la marcaron mucho mas al centro de donde fue ¡¡
Hingis complained about a wrong decision of the referee. And she was right to complain! but Steffi had no fair play at all and showed "ON PURPOSE" the wrong mark on the floor. Which is a total shame at this stage of the competition ! Hingis had all the right to be disgusted!!!!
Steffi DID NOT deserve to win, she cheated and then the whole "stupid french public" made the rest. One of the saddest final I've ever seen.
I actually believe Hingis had a point here (no pun intended). The umpire appeared to be unsure of where to find the mark and look in the wrong place. But Hingis's reaction was unnecessary.
When Serena and Venus were younger. Richard would make them play against young boys who cheat. this made them stronger and if a call went against them that they knew was in they could handle it better
What's the big deal...??? She's playing In a major tournament and she felt that the wrong call was made and was sticking up for what she believed was right...I would never fault her for that. It's called Integrity...Sticking up for what you believe is right when everyone around you is telling you what you should think and do....screw the crowd...It's easy for them to sit back and critisize..It's not THERE ass on the line...there not playing for hundreds of thousands of dollars or a Grand Slam

@jaaking2 yeah thats just so sad she would have deserved it.. played so awesome then, so cool as well but i think she knew well how dangerous graf was and she fought for every point so its just stupid to give a point away...its a pitty she didnt keep as cool as at the beginning. in my opinion she mostly owned graf in this match but there was a change and graf played better she mad emistakes... but these two were so super awesome;-)
@jaaking2 She was up only 2 games in the 2nd set, and she barely won the first set. I wouldn't say that she was "all over" Graf. They both played brilliantly.
@Hoffenheim08 : I hear you. I'd be picky, I'd say that before this call Hingis was ahead, then from this call on and for 30 mn Hingis and Graf were at the same level (proof that this call had an effect), then third stage Graf and the stupid audience were ahead.
Actually she didn't loose her cool over this. She was probably right with that call but the supervisors wouldn't change a question of pure line calling.
She did get the code violation but because she crossed to Graf's side to check the mark herself.
I was a big fan of Martina's. Too bad her career was so short. She was a cutie.
However, she won 5 slams. Steffi won 22 and is arguably the greatest tennis player to ever live. No comparison between the two.
Whether the ball was in or out, Martina was WAY over the line here. I am surprised the officials let it go as far as it did. Martina should have been told to play or forfeit the game. Period.
Martina got more tired as the match wore on. THATS why she lost.
She has already won one set. She is leading in the second. She got upset on one call and lost the match. French suck anyway. Even today they dont use the technology to identify where the ball landed
Martina Hingis was and always will be a spoiled brat CUNT, I'm glad Steffi beat her that day and she was right to be booed off the court. She's a classless bitch!
This just goes to show how immature Martina was here - or how arrogant, depending on your point of view. She was one set up , 2-0 up in the second in a final. Why make such a big deal of a line call when so far ahead. And walking around the net to the other side during play gets you an automatic verbal warning. Why does she then look so surprised. Doesn't she know the rules of her game?!
As much as I do not like Steffi Graf for winning everything after the Seles stabbing, I was on Steffi's side that day based on Martina Hingis's attitude on that day and I do believe that it cost her the match because Steffi had the entire stadium cheering for her after that incident
Hingis had this match in the bag. That's what she got for not knowing how to control her feelings. She will forever go as one of the all time greatest tennys players
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I remmember this match well, I watched it live, I am a grff supporter , the immature Hingus wanted to beat the legend so bad that she had to resort to beign a loser and taking loo breaks. Steffi told her you will have plenty of time to win tournaments you don't need to be a child. Thank god Hingus the drug addict is no longr playing.
@melende2000 Even if the ball was in,this was still a time where you had to respect the umpire's decision.There are plenty of videos showing the worst calls ever, still the players were respectful.In addition,it wasn't even a point ending shot,Steffi still could have won it.Next to that, Hingis was up a set and a break,so her reaction was in no way justified, she just wanted to act like a complete total bitch, and be disrespectful to a legendary player. She got what she deserved in the end.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
this french crowd is so stupid and rude!! Is the worst crowd in tennis grand slam defenetly!! what hey do to serena williams , maria sharapova, michelle larcher de brito, martina hingis not mentioned others was terrible!! I hate roland garros because the french crowd!!
"The French crowd had a good sense about who was the bitch. And who was a classy person."
Well said (as always !) Hoffenheim. The problem is simply that buggers and bastards like 'tennisslut" (or tennisstud ?) tend to have a reversed sight of the truth.
if she didnt lose her cool that time, she should've won a french title ... too bad...
martina ... all of us want you back ... we dont care if you won't win matches ('cuz we know you would) ... just as long as we see you play, it's already good enough ... :D
The lineswoman and the chair umpire were both looking at a mark much further towards the middel of the court...
Tough for her, but there was no way to change that. Besides, it was a stupid reaction, since she had the first set and was leading with a break in the second...
I watched it live at the time...It was like the best game ever... Martina thought she was going to win, and behaved like a bitch...Steffi saved like 2 or 3 match points and then won the game... it was like the best lesson ever.
Nobody cares about the ball, but all a fan of Stefi Stefi .. how typical for unilateral view people..
They even started whistling to her, after she said just no.. and went just to the net...

Actually she didn't loose her cool over this. She was probably right with that call but the supervisors wouldn't change a question of pure line calling.
She did get the code violation but because she crossed to Graf's side to check the mark herself.

I so had a crush on Martina Hingis. She is a hottie!
Asgoodasgod 1 year ago
I was a big fan of Martina's. Too bad her career was so short. She was a cutie.
However, she won 5 slams. Steffi won 22 and is arguably the greatest tennis player to ever live. No comparison between the two.
Whether the ball was in or out, Martina was WAY over the line here. I am surprised the officials let it go as far as it did. Martina should have been told to play or forfeit the game. Period.
Martina got more tired as the match wore on. THATS why she lost.

She has already won one set. She is leading in the second. She got upset on one call and lost the match. French suck anyway. Even today they dont use the technology to identify where the ball landed

Too bad Hingis was never half as refined as her tennis. As someone else here said, a spoiled brat--not to mention a drug abuser.
I watched Serena Williams wallop her in the semis at the US Open in 2001, 6-3 6-2. I enjoyed every minute of it.

twilliger123 1 year ago
This just goes to show how immature Martina was here - or how arrogant, depending on your point of view. She was one set up , 2-0 up in the second in a final. Why make such a big deal of a line call when so far ahead. And walking around the net to the other side during play gets you an automatic verbal warning. Why does she then look so surprised. Doesn't she know the rules of her game?!

The french crowd was right on that one.
As much as I do not like Steffi Graf for winning everything after the Seles stabbing, I was on Steffi's side that day based on Martina Hingis's attitude on that day and I do believe that it cost her the match because Steffi had the entire stadium cheering for her after that incident

I remmember this match well, I watched it live, I am a grff supporter , the immature Hingus wanted to beat the legend so bad that she had to resort to beign a loser and taking loo breaks. Steffi told her you will have plenty of time to win tournaments you don't need to be a child. Thank god Hingus the drug addict is no longr playing.

melende2000 1 year ago 31
Who are you to assert the ball was in the court ?
Are you taking your dreams for reality ?
Or do you think your own personal judgement is better than the chair and line umpires together ?
And why did the chair umpire didn't default Hingis, when she came over to the other side, trespassing thus both tennis and fair play rules ?

@melende2000 Even if the ball was in,this was still a time where you had to respect the umpire's decision.There are plenty of videos showing the worst calls ever, still the players were respectful.In addition,it wasn't even a point ending shot,Steffi still could have won it.Next to that, Hingis was up a set and a break,so her reaction was in no way justified, she just wanted to act like a complete total bitch, and be disrespectful to a legendary player. She got what she deserved in the end.

Well said (as always !) Hoffenheim. The problem is simply that buggers and bastards like 'tennisslut" (or tennisstud ?) tend to have a reversed sight of the truth.

kalurank 1 year ago 2
@kuklisz absolutely!
The lineswoman and the chair umpire were both looking at a mark much further towards the middel of the court...
Tough for her, but there was no way to change that. Besides, it was a stupid reaction, since she had the first set and was leading with a break in the second...

@kuklisz I remember watching the match live back in '99
of course she was right, and she also lost her concentration --and the match-- right there...
last summer she used to work out some in our club,
still hits her backhand down the line out of any position,
had a brief engagement with a hapless young lawyer. I talked to her about the match

When she wins, she's a joy to watch-good attitude smiling. When she wins, she's a bad sport.
Does this remind you of another successful Swiss player on the men's side today?
