Great match, these two played so many finals and were always on great terms.

I agree, this is my favourite matchup on the WTA. I hope they do play again although it's very unlikely. :(

i loved how martina was almost always smiling and enjoying herself in the heat of battle...i believe that's partially why lindsay was smiling too ;-)

They were probably the rare type where the top 2 players have so much respect to each other and so much expectation on each other, that what WTA tennis so great at the time! And is so great that they actually happy for another who win, that is extremely rare even for ATP players

@holocaustik

Hingis put audiance back to WTA seats and so as Seles, I wouldn't know what other players can do something like that... 

There shouldn't be so much hate in there, that is thing like this, created someone like Günter Parche

@kinglear

umm i definitely wouldnt say they are the two best players who ever lived. they dont even come close to what steffi graf, monica seles, martina navratilova and chris evert have done in this sport.

What's amazing about the dominance of Lindsay and Hingis is that they both had contrasting playing styles, yet they were so competitive against each other. They are two of the best players who ever lived. Sure, they don't have as many Slams as the Williams, etc, but they've won a ridiculous amount of titles and both made it into Grand Slam finals, which they had the chance to win. I always look at it like that. If Lindsay didn't have injuries, she could beat everyone's ass.

great match between these two legends

Great tennis these two are sorely missed on the tour

[MrNoDiRi]

and also couple of weeks ago prior to this match martina beat lindsay in the finals of zurich in a classic 3 setter, why should she be frustrated??
