1998 Monica Seles def Martina Hingis

[MrHappytimes73]

@stueystu1 Look it up Monica beat Hingis easily, think it was 1 and 2 or something similar. Monica was/is a better player and record proves it.

[JamieOwen03]

this is one of their best matches that they played against one another IMO! i love both of them and the tennis in this match was top class!!!

[trent8002003]

Hingis always a sour loser. When she beat Monica, Monica always kissed her on the cheeks at the net. When Monica beat her, she never offered the same back.

[LivingProof21]

I hate Martina hingis. I always loved it, when Serena or Venus destroyed her.

MONICA SELES Nº1

[cbaker3122]

In my last post I meant "tanking matches" not "tanking matching".

[cbaker3122]

Class is not learned, you either have it or not, and Hingis never showed an ounce of it in any of her matches or off the court. From her tanking matching and pouting to her homphobic comments about Mauresmo to her cocaine use, she was not a nice person or a good ambassador for the sport.

Seles was always as classy as she could be, and I miss her. If that crazy guy had not have stabbed her, she would have been perhaps one of the top 3 greatest of all time (with Chris, Martina and Steffi).

Galactus, I agree with your comment, but "slickness" does win as well. But Hingis' brand of slickness was a plain one. The real slickness was the combo of power with finesse, and the women of the late 80s-1996 (or call it era of Graf/Seles/Sabatini/Sanchez/No­votna/). Very complete, tactic, fluid, natural yet deadly. The Williams, they are past power, but are simply overhitting and going for nothing else. This is due to too much racquet technology. A big problem with today's women's game.

How was it plain when she used pure tactic to win instead of power? It was marvelous and people salivated over Hingis' slickness when she made her comeback. People missed that brand of tennis.

[Galactus247]

You must be Crackers! Keep smoking!

People salivating over Hingis?? Yeah, probably the peadophiles!

The 2 BIG Strengths Hingis had was her ability to hit the ball very early and great accuracy. That served her well when she came on the scene at the RIGHT time when Seles/Graf/Capriati/Sanchez etc were aging/making comebacks & Wiliams/Henin/Russians still yet to 'Blossom'.

When the others started to hit the ball 'early' as well & beat her at her own game, she was finished!

Rmbr the Final RG'97

[dinh]

Let's get real here. Hingis was NEVER the crowd favorite, esp when she was at her best. But when she came back, guess what ppl loved her. Don't deny it. Even haters know this....

[lookscudkill]

I watched this match on live tv. Good match, great result. It was Seles' to win and she knew it. TAKE THAT HINGIS!

[dinh]

Had to do it in 3, not easy so take what? Hingis owned Seles.

[Galactus247]

Good to see M.hingis getting raped by 'over the hill' Seles. The Seles of 92-'93 would have STEAMROLLED this Hingis girl so badly, Hingis would have run off court crying NEVER to return again. Seles proved that power rules over slickness and the Williams have carried that Torch!

[dinh]

Yeah sure that is why her record against Seles & the Williams sister is so bad....hahah!!! NOT!!!!

[brir47]

LMAO at GrafGirl27! I TOTALLY AGREE!

[LoveHingis1]

[Guy09nice]

[qcllabprinceton]

[japnphils25]

[grafgirl27]

Always nice to see Hingis lose. Good job Monica.

[princegraphite]

Hingis looks so hot in that match, hi hi h i---...

[karrtt1234]

[mrbunny74]

Monica was always awsome at this tournament,

when she came back she hardly lost any games the whole tournament

Great stuff

[yaelis32]

I love martina,

[blikki]

haha hingis is a bitch but i cant help but like her.

[suraaldy]

I actually liked Hingis more when she came back after a break. I usually take the veteran's side anyway, but in her case I really got to like her more as she aged and got more humble. Always respected her talent, not always her attitude.

[DIANAROSS4EVER]

And Monica scaries everyone, she's ugly, and she screams a rare thing ''waeeee''

[hinginator]

hahahaha, i love hingis, such a bitch, you just gotta love her!!

[xopherYT]

[roorkam]
