Lol at even think that Arantxa and Jankovic has similar games, they do not, watch more tennis. :)

You can't group Hingis with those two! She is a class above the other them, she had a complete game, and she attacked. She was 'lucky' in '97-'98, but Sanchez and Jankovic would never be able to dominate like she did, even in the absecence of a super power. Hingis was a great foil for all the huge hitters, was always great to see one end pounding the cover off the ball and then Martina doing what she could to keep them off balance. far better than dirty sanchez and Janko

Jankovic doesn't have the all court-game of Martina. I believe the player who is most like her (Martina) is Aggie Radwanska.

Hingis is maybe one of the greats women's tennis although I hate the way she trashed about the other players before. It's like suck it up when others are playing better than you, lol

Martina Hingis taught me: "just play tennis and have fun" and "no power necessary to win a match".

so the two meet three straight times right in 2006: tokyo, dubai and indian wells.

[frozerox04]

it looks like that hingis' shots were quite powerful..

[DIANAROSS4EVER]

@cm70874 Radwanska hits the ball too soft, Hingis lacks of power but at least she has real groundstrokes

@thegreendestiny But a year later, she trashed Dementieva in the same tourney on her way to win!!

@milot1masha She got thrashed by peak-Dementieva in the finals.

@petunia0809 indeed. we need more of this kind of court speed.

@13blanket

She had an opportunity to get herself in the mix... sort of like Hantuchova... but it just never happened.
