Hingis is underrated historically.

Winning grand slams at 16 years old

 

[superunknown23]

Hingis, who has won five Grand Slam singles titles, won her first Wimbledon doubles title with Helena Sukova as a 15-year-old in 1996 before adding a second with Jana Novotna two years later.

She retired in 2003 at the age of 22 after a series of ankle injuries, but returned to the WTA Tour in 2006.

Hingis quit the game for a second time in November 2007, revealing she had tested positive for cocaine at Wimbledon that year, and served a two-year ban.

She then came out of retirement again in 2013.

I forgot she was on that white

Winning grand slams at 16 years old

Won the Aussie, Wimby, and US Open and lost a shocker in the finals of the French Open all at 16

She and Venus being 16 and 17 in the US Open final

the swiss miss loved that coco

i remember a long time ago when she played against venus and her beads broke off during the match hingis was flicking them around during the press conference afterwards

I should be used to it but I'm still amazed at how everything revolves around complexions one way or another on the Coli.

that dude from lfo or whatever their called is as white as a sheet what I was actually talking about was his afro but don't let poor reading comprehension hinder you from getting on your soapbox

 

[Roman Brady]

Because Serena used to berate lines people and throw fits when she lost. Never giving credit to an opponent when they beat her. She did that shyt for YEARS and people haven't forgotten. That's why I can't get behind her even though she's right there with Graf all time.

bu bu but I thought everyone liked a good redemption story ? I thought the great murican way was to give those that have done wrong a 2nd chance. Di di didn't Connors, McEnroe, goran amongst others get over not only for their play but temperment also? I suppose when they did it it was passion right?

Hingis is underrated historically.

Still is my fav female player ever. She should have won that Grand Slam in 97. Not shytting on Majoli who had the tourney of her life but at the time he didn't make sense and it still doesn't to me. Anyway, Hingis lack of power and weak serve was always counterbalanced by her science and talent but once the Williams/Davenport/Capriati era started and crowned the 2H BH heavy baseliners (+ good serve), it was too much for her :

1. Federer
2. Sampras
3. Borg
4. McEnroe
5. Laver



*ready for war on the Johnny Mac pick*

I'm all ears (I'm sure one of your argument will be his '84 season )

EDIT : At what place do you have Rafa ?

 

[malbaker86]

Am i the only one that wish the top male players dabbled in doubles at the Masters events? Not EVERY Masters event but do like Rafa does and play doubles about 3-5 times a year
