Even if she did use cocaine, it would in NO WAY take away from her accomplishments on the tennis court. Cocaine is NOT a performance-enhancing drug, it is a RECREATIONAL drug. Its use in NO WAY improves ones tennis game. I do not condone its use, but it is absolutely NOT the same as using steroids or human growth hormone, or any other performance-enhancing substance.
@trwent Yeah. This point is well-taken. McEnroe himself admitted coke use, and said of it: "It made me stay up all night and want to sleep the next day. It was not a performance-enhancer."
Martina Hingis ha sido una gran jugadora pero su soberbia en la pista la pudo, de hecho todo comenzó a irle un poco mal desde roland garros cuando perdió con Steffi Graff en el año 1999, luego se recuperó pero volvió a caer en 2002 de nuevo.
Una lástima, ya que si no se hubiese ido nunca del tenis con lo joven que era ahora el tenis femenino sería algo mejor, porque dicho sea de paso, esta era de jugadoras para mi gusto, no valen absolutamente nada.
She was a good player,nothing exeptionel compared to the really dominating Tennis Ladies like Court,Goolagong,Evert,Navratilova,Graf and the Williams Sisters.
A good Player and that was it.Caracterwise , we do not have to think twice.Remember Paris?The French Open Final lost to Steffi Graf? No other comment needed! Besides,she should take her Dentist to court,she could look all right but with the terrible dentistcrime in her mouth she has a little something of
booooo she was tested positive for coke and she has no respect always talking trash about other players especially venus and serena. i hope i never see her play.
it was the well-respected Chris Evert as publisher of Tennis Magazine who first said in 1999 that Hingis as World Number One was like a plug-hole or fill-in during the 'interregnum' between the Graf era and the Williamses era -- until the true tennis greats find or rediscover their form.
Chris Evert's editorial had the punchline, "Steffi, please come back!" Most people were getting bored with Hingis Hubris and her palpable self-belief that "she was God's gift to sports."
Hingis with her puffball serve averaging 80 mph -- there are girls in my club who could bludgeon her to death.
Hingis can not be considered a great player. She got to Number One during the interregnum -- the weak period when Graf was injured. When Williamses came along, Hingis was just no match.
I liked how Maria Sharapova massacred Hingis at Indian Wells 2006 with a succession of clean winners. The crowd just loved it.
Steffi Graf is the greatest woman tennis player of all time!
Martina also retires because she says she's too old for stay at the first level, so she is not going to come back, Martina have always been my idol and she will be forever, Martina is old to play 1rst level tennis, but she's so young (only 27). So, Martina, live the life!!!
My fave actor is a total wreck(Marlon Brando). My favorite actress is not the best role model (NORA AUNOR). My favorite tennis player is Martine Hingis. I am looking for the best in each field. Not the best moral character. Because if that is the case, nobody beats Mother Theresa
i agree with you martina will stay number 1 for long. on the other side i believe that she tried drugs once. no offense. everybody could do it. the best attitude would have been to admit it, telling that it was a mistake. tennis fans love those stories and would have forgiven i think. it is a pity that she gave up tennis like that with this stupid story
Martina Hingis will be a HOF in tennis. Whether you like her or not. Failed drug test was very unfortunate and it's a shame that she walked away from tennis like that. I hope she makes second comeback one day, so she can clean up her reputation.
Sorry folks! Those tests are thorough and don't lie! Clemens, Canas,Marion Jones, McGraw and now Hingis! I personally think she lacked some sort of self-confidence and may have decided to give it a boost. What do you think she may have been doing in retirement???!!!!
I totally agree, I hope she is cleard soon, so we all can move on. I know Marti probably has already moved on, but I can't help dreaming abt seeing her on the courts again. LUV you Marti!!!
Glad you agree. She's an artist and I wish more of the new players would show some artistic talent instead of just pounding the ball. Henin is not all about power but not as elegant and charming as Hingis.
Yeh, shes so charming, going around calling Mauresmo half a man.... She wouldnt have retired so suddenly if she was actually innocent. She is one of the all time greats and would have defended that and proven her innocence. It makes sense really, a player of her talent shouldnt have had to save match point against a british wildcard at wimbledon last year and then lose to Laura Granville, That should have been evidence enough that somethin was wrong.
I think your comments about hingis are unwarranted and inapproriate. She probably had a bad day at wimbledon and most likely was not high on cocaine. I think everyone has experimented with drugs at one point. I'm sorry but her one time cocaine use does not tarnish her image in my opinion.
i think you'll find that she was injured during wimbledon, hence why she didn't play the french open. and why bring that mauresmo comment all the time it's boring and pointless. anyway she has a negative hair test which is better than urine tests, and not everything is proven, and if she did it why didn't the wta know? the itf only banned her so that their testing system didn't look fucked up, which it is, hence why so many players have won their appeals at the CAS.
I brought up the mauresmo comment once. And its naive to assume the itf banned her to simply prove that their testing system isnt "fucked up". Im not a Martina hater but the evidence is not in her favour.
hingis is the best...fak yu who accused her take drugs..............! Love u Hingis 4ever , miss when she is the 15 year old tennis wonder :(

thank you for the video i believe that shes innocent too.
i understand why she would argue the testing and the fact that she retired not only because of this.
it would be a long battle, just taking the ban was the best thing.
