Venus Williams vs. Martina Hingis - Washington Kastles World Team Tennis 2010

[Chipexcess]

Even a half decent person doesn't openly call people that. They know better to ignore it, it's the internet so look at the mirror and stfu.

You sound more sour grapes then me.

[Chipexcess]

Why the fuck do I type in tennis and it has to show this gorilla while I'm eating dinner, i just wanna watch a tennis match without having to throw up plz.

[Viruspirate]

@Chipexcess fuck off you disgusting troll

[claus1225]

i dont know how hingis ever won those grand slams and reached #1. she looked worse than the college girls.

talk about deteriorating.

[ICANDIGUOUT]

nice seeing these two young legends square off again. i always loved watching their contrasting playing styles...as you saw in the first few points.

[gargarensi]

That court is so distracting, why can't they just be consistent and choose one colour?

[itsjonkuo]

@gargarensi It's kind of tradition.. the court has been that way since the 70's.

[uwcollegeboi222000]

It's great to see Venus play WTT...I wish more people would post WTT on youtube...

[aaron1983]

Hingis is so fun to watch! such talent :) <3

[hi808ih]

this is cool. just some casual tennis from the pros. i'm glad they aren't going all out.

[fakmenow]

that girl is dumb she keeps lobbing it so soft and just wow she can slam it any direction no challenge.

[uninvited1]

I want the Venus who won Wimbledon in 2008 back :( I'd love for Martina to come back too but with her health problems and the power differential I don't think it'll ever happen.

[mariameaghan123]

Do martina hingis came back in tennis?

[kevin12061989]

i ABSOLUTELY hate Hingis, she took cocaine and get away with it, racist sport

[volvariella]

@kevin12061989

Hate her all you want and she's still a five time slam champion and hall of famer. Loser.

[uninvited1]

@kevin12061989 Didn't exactly get away with it - she got banned. How is that racist anyway?

[acereros74]

please martina come back you are the tennis quin and l love you su much

[AmaziingChampiion2]

Why do this court has different colors? are different kind of hard surfaces?

[Obelisk1990]

lolcourt!

[MunchyUploader]

At 2:32 Williams Has 1ST Service

[MunchyUploader]

Martina Hingis Is Best From Doubles Because I Play The Game Virtua Tennis 3 At Psp 2000 very gorgeous!! Tactical Bat Cool Moves

[MunchyUploader]

I Don't Like Williams But I Like Martina Hingis

[PretearGirl14]

Woo! Go Venus, you're awesome!

[LobOverTheBackhand]

The guy in the hat sitting in the front row...ANNOYING. I love Venus, but she could never play with a wooden racket...not that she'll ever have to. Serena (and Hingis!) are so much more technically sound.

[indyk91]

id be surprised if serena willaims got into the top 700 in the mens game. anyone else in the womens game would be lucky to scrape top 1000. womens tennis isn't good to watch. especially compared to mens tennis.

[Bragofan]

@indyk91 Probably but that's pretty much just genetics isn it. I used to enjoy men's tennis more but now Im bored with it and actually all for women's tennis. It's so much more interesting and spontaneous.

[DanimalLawlz]

It's interesting that no men other than Davydenko do that twohander backhand volley at the net...maybe women are too weak and Davy too small?

[charlestoye]

What did the standing umpire say at the end?

[lacheyrulez]

lol look how soft venus is hittin thew ball, hingis cant stand the power game these days

[intoxicologist]

i watched martina hingis in puente romano last month in an exhibition. she had the reflexes of a cat. impressive to watch her returning serve. she looks slow here but trust me she is really fast....

[twarren20]

Not a fan of Venus that much anymore...she's the reason why serena got into so much trouble at last years US Open...failing to beat Clijsters for the 100th time. Venus always fails serena and don't back her up...usually if venus gets beaten by someone...serena comes through. But not sorry, gracious Venus these days. Im so sick of her being so nice and graceful. You were a damn warrior, now you are a jelly fish with no spine. Thanks Venus for sucking like you have for the last few years.

[gad94]

@twarren20 No Serena is the reason why she got into so much trouble at last year's US Open. Regardless, of whether Venus beat Kim or not, it was Serena's temper that did it. I do agree with you, though, that Venus has definitely lost that mental "warrior" toughness that she did have. After this year's US Open lost to Kim, I was thinking about jumping off Venus' ship but I will stay on it, till it sinks...

[vechris2001]

@twarren20 i agree with u 100% in those days...she was like "b.i.t.c.h i'll get u in next point" or when she hits big serve..but now..she's so soft. i hate dat. i want our warriour princess bk..serena is still like dat. i think venus' sisters death affected her hugely. she's tooo nice on court now its annoying.

[butterflycaught900]

no scores... and who won this?

[kingdom1292]

@kittybookitty. fuck shit ass cock dick rim blow facial, "profanity" fucking weirdo

[nickelwindow53]

You think Nadal will win the final? I think he will easly win it like Kim did. It wont be worth watching.

[nickelwindow53]

You are right about Roger Fed also! I was shocked it got put out in another slam. First Wimbledon and now USO...HE may be getting like Venus, Its carzy no matter how good you are and how long you stay on top of your game someone yonger and better will come along to knock you off yoru throne. I hope its a long long time B4 someone can do it to Serena.

[nickelwindow53]

I hate Clijsters, the only reason I watched the final tonite was because nothing else was on TV. Kim had a easy win tonite, atleast Venus challenged her. I hate how all of the Tennis world wants Kim to be everyones American Belgian sweetheart! If Serena was in Kim would not have had a chance. I dont think she can beat both WIlliams in a tournament playing her best tennis...I really wanna see V win another slam B4 she call it quiets.

[cm70874]

@nickelwindow53 Don't get me wrong, I LOOOVE Serena, but facts are facts and the fact is, Kim has defeated both Venus and Serena, in the same tourney MORE than once.

[nickelwindow53]

@cm70874 true but kims is not consistance! She only wins the US open..I want her to have a serena slam year or atleast take two slams home like serena did then kim will get invite to the greats club, graf, navertolva, hingis, davenport, seles, evert, and williams...need I got on?

[alienspikes2]

@nickelwindow53

You can't put Kim in the same conversation with either Williams sister she can't even compare to Justine or any of the greats. She falls in the same category as Amelie Mauresmo. It's sad that she couldn't pull any significant wins over Justine, Serena and Venus during their slam dominance. The only notable win I believe she had was the 2009 US Open when she beat Serena in the Semis. This is why I can't put her in the same league as the greats.

[errolmiranda]

@nickelwindow53 ok now Kims won ATLEAST two slams like you wanted her to. She is better than your fucked up Hingis...

I dislike Serena and think Venus isnt a great player , but when you compare them to Hingis, they are fucking SUPERWOMEN!~

Hingis is a FUCKING COKE SNORTER!

[nickelwindow53]

@errolmiranda True HIngis is always under some coke! I give it to you Kim has been holding her own against the Williams sisters.

[istoriposhivz]

@errolmiranda I would love to see so much the Williams sisters play with Hingis' level of strength and see what they can achieve. Maybe they won't even get a ranking at all.

[hiu1787]

@istoriposhivz Hingis achieved all she did before the big hitters took over. She took advantage of a weak time in women's tennis - Steffi was on the back end of her career and Monica was no where near the level she once was, and Lindsay, and the Williamses had not refined their power games with the right consistency to topple her. But once they did, Martina didn't stand a chance. After '99, Hingis never won another major. Since that time, Lindsay won a couple (2), Venus 7, and Serena, well 13.

[istoriposhivz]

@hiu1787 I didn't mean that Hingis is the best, nor did I mean to disregard the achievements of the Williams sisters. I just made the point to the comment that 'comparing them (the Williams sisters) to Hingis, they are superwomen'. I did agree with that, because of the Williams sisters inherent power advantage. With that disadvantage and limit in physical strength, Hingis will never be the best.

IF, and what if, the Williams sisters weren't so powerful, where would they be at all?

[susceotible]

@istoriposhivz maybe you should notice that before hingis retirement in 2002 she was losing 6 out of 7 times she played against venus. And dudring that time she was playing the tennis of her life. She was the current world no.1 through that period but still losing to venus. What a shame. About serena she was just a small threat during that time but still head to head records is favouring serena.

[istoriposhivz]

@susceotible I don't understand why it is a shame at all, players have different styles. Big hitters always have the edge over physically weaker players like Hingis. Still Hingis made good use of her skills and consistency to stay at the top.

So Federer lost out to Nadal in 2005 to 2009, even Federer was the no. 1 for most of the time. Shame to Roger? Nadal was the no. 1 until July 2011 and he lost 4 times to Novak in that period. Shame to Rafael?

[susceotible]

Federer and nadal because federer plays nadal most of the time at clay. If they were to other surface more time then federer would dominate nadal. Plus federer is old. DJokovic is better then nadal. I believe his going to win more gs then nadal. Back to the question. Even if hingis make full use of her skills she is nowhere better then Williams sisters. She is definitely not better then Serena and even Venus. That's why she kept on losing to them. Statistic never lie.

[Leomerya12]

@cm70874 The fact also is that Nadal leads Federer in head to heads, but most consider Fed the better player. You have to look at a player in the grand scheme of things, not just how they fair against another player.

[KickboxerKing]

fucking nigger

[vosharap]

They used to have some of the BEST tennis matches...

[iiwiiss]

The designer of that court was under the influence of LSD

[11mm47]

lmao Venus is playing 20% her best here and Martina is giving it all, no wonder Venus seemed so bored in this match

[tennisPete]

This angle is awesome!!! Great work. I wish you can post more matches with this angle. It gives a much better prespective of the high of the ball.

[nickelwindow53]

With the US open around the corner do you guys thing at this late in Venus Career she has another Major or two in her or is she done? I see a few more Wimbledons and maybe one more US open. I dont se a French Open.

[kaseskells]

@nickelwindow53 I don't see anything, especially after her losing to Clijsters yesterday, she had that match in the bag.

[nickelwindow53]

@kaseskells you are so right. she took the first sei 6-4 with out a problem, then IDK what happend to Venus. I mean she should atlteast leave the game on a high note. She should just retire before she retires looking so bad that we forget all of her accomplishments. You are supposed to leave on top!

[kaseskells]

@nickelwindow53 Indeed I think it's over for her after she gave that one up, she would have definitely won the title if she would've gotten past Clijsters, but hey, she says she isn't going anywhere soon, but I know she ain't winning anymore Slams. This was her best chance since Serena was out. Serena on the other hand will win at least 3 more and Federer would've have lost in the final to Nadal if he had made it, but I see at least 2 more Slams in his future.

[nickelwindow53]

@kaseskells maybe she can make it to another slam final vvs lil sis and lil sis can throw the match for big sis sake! :) Venus deserves one Slam for the road.

[KFactor93]

Any-one who is under the dellusion that Venus is actually trying in this match, watch 0:52 :)

[DreamBoye]

excellent vid!!

[KFactor93]

Oh please, Venus always plays lazily in WTT. I don't think the close scoreline with Martina is anything to go by, she probably just wanted to give the crowd a good match.

[eajrone]

great quality FYB!!!

[kevin12061989]

Go Venus

[sghdpa]

Soo boring!!!

Martina is better than Radwanska? I don't think so. Both don't know how to play with stronger players.

Radwanska is also talented like Martina

[bigdc12]

yeah who won??

[ucdnick]

Who won?

[SoulPowerful]

Struggling to beat a retired Martina Hingis???

[asd87877]

Damn broke the racquet!??!!? Crazy ass...

[johnieting]

For those we hates women tennis, perhaps you might wanna refer to the "Hingis vs Venus Us Open 1999 highlights", watch those two play when they are at their peak and the best of their rivalry.

[tenisjunkie]

love venus.

great vid. good quality

[bjorncerovsek]

thanks for the video. looks great, fuzzy

[akin1989]

This is brilliant quality. I could actually SEE the tennis ball. Unlike many other vidoes on youtube...

[akhanian]

how do you'll get such good footage? that looks like the tennis we see in TV. good job.

[kIpPeIn0oB]

some nice rallys. venus' backhand is pretty crazy.

[hongfa23yt]

I watched this tournament, How they count the points (the score?)

[HyperHorse]

What court surface is this? Plays very fast....

[gwfactions2]

What is purpose of the different colors?

[elbiczel]

Hingis game is purely unbelievable!

The point at 4:08 is just just great, though she's lost.

[ShaltNot07]

so who won?

[KOliverJones]

Love the angle, great definition, but that court. I HATE THAT COURT!

[iPurgolder]

Martina has slower hits from what I see, and she's playing too defensive

[nickchups]

Ahhh Martina, so graceful and beautiful to watch

[wiseguyknowsit]

Womens tennis is boring because most women are trying to match their game to the Sisters. If they tried a differen style than trying to imitate the Williams power

And serves than maybe it would be less boring.

[forcemajeur08]

@wiseguyknowsit I know! But have you heard of Seles? Most pundits say she was the pioneer for the modern power game that paved the way for the sisters style of play right now. But who am I to talk, wiseguyknowsit, right?

[TlMpossible]

how annoying would it be to play on a court like that.. full trip you out with all the colours @______@

[degss87]

what racket is Martina using??

[kazukiyushibobo]

@degss87 Hingis apparently adores Yonex racket, therefore it might be a black-out version of the ones she used through out her career.

[kennethfraipont]

@degss87 Yonex RQIS Tour 100 XL , the same as Ana Ivanovic.

[A550RGY]

@lagh I will.

[kittybookitty]

Hey Will, so you're allowing profanity on your vid comments now????

That's good to know!

[FYB2007]

@kittybookitty no, we're not. i'll remove inappropriate comments when i see them. but i don't have time to moderate so some stuff falls through the cracks.

[eajrone]

@kittybookitty quit snitching, ask him if he allows tattletells on his vid comments??

[kittybookitty]

@eajrone If he is going to allow profanity from some he needs to allow it from all....or NONE at all. It's called fairness. He allows cursing from some, yet when others do it, he says, "don't curse or you'll be blocked"??? Screw that.

and GFY, guy. You obviously have a wedgie.

blocked

[eajrone]

@kittybookitty well thats the spirit-oh i would gfy if you do first and when ur done put your head in between your legs and smuther yourself :-) pleeeez

[kittybookitty]

@lagh I wonder where will is. Last time i used profanity on his vid comments he threatened to ban me and deleted my comments.

I guess he likes you! One hour and counting.

[kittybookitty]

That was fun to watch! Atta girl, V.

[JerrafurOscar]

I envy Venus so much for her kick serve. OvO

[caloyjp]

is it me or are their balls really slow?

[ractorspring]

Those were some lazy errors...especially at the beggining. i cant believe Venus won after making so many

[gabe228]

@ractorspring shows how crap hingis is. It's funny how hingis once said that graf wasn't strong enough to compete in the wta before due to the game being more powerful and athlete. Hingis completely got knocked off by the power hitting of today's women's game. Irony. She sucks. women's tennis sucks.

[chonobe]

@gabe228 lol i tho hingis retired?... so this is somone match fit versusing somone out of shape lol, and when hingis was winning slams, where was william... age difference buddy, but one thing i do agree is that womens tennis sucks lol

[gabe228]

@chonobe nah, more like forced to retire for sniffing crack

[JTennisVids]

OMG the quality in picture is amazing match not so much but who cares i love them both!!

[tennisproderek]

wtf is up with venus' groundstrokes

they're all going in the net... or blasting way out

[LoLucas02]

Jesus.... they made so many mistakes...

[funglip]

Who won?

[raphael1245]

where was this. randalls island nyc?

[eaglesrock779]

I like my women black and strong :)

[frilloz4]

no offence but womens tennis is boring to watch

[A550RGY]

@frilloz4 No offense, but these women are better than you will ever be, so maybe modeling your game after theirs isn't such a bad thing.

[spiff524]

@A550RGY

seriously, he just said it was boring to watch lol. You're making stupid assumptions of him saying that "hes better than them". And I agree with him, I think mens tennis is a thousand times better to watch then womens.

[A550RGY]

@spiff524 You're right. Maybe he just likes to watch tennis and doesn't actually play it himself, in which case my comments were irrelevant.

[frilloz4]

@A550RGY oh no don't get me wrong they are good players but just watching them isn't as entertaining as men players but your totally right they are better than me

[StopPokinMeh]

damn, venus's serves, tho not as hard as roddicks, like, damn... has roddick ever broken opponents' rackets b4?

[MrBesabella]

I was at this match too! I so want to go to the Serena match tonight!!! Please get me in Will!!!!

[lilasiandude0222]

not to be a drag or anything, but this doesnt seem like a very exciting match

[jpark28]

@lilasiandude0222 probably because every highlight is an unforced error lol

[MrBesabella]

@lilasiandude0222 trust me there were some awesome rallies in person. very classic venus-hingis

[rjnrf]

is that carpet?

[psyco4monkeyz]

what a serve
