Estos si eran partidos de dobles, 4 grandes jugadoras de individuales, con grandes puntos, gran técnica y donde curiosamente Hingins era la mas "débil".
Novotna had the best hands of any player after Navratilova retired from singles. After Novotna retired, it was Hingis 1.0 & 2.0 until she finally retired. Now, no one has good hands, just groundstrokes.
Golden era of doubles when the top men and women played doubles which is why they could handle the net with ease it added another dimension to their game. Now it’s very robotic and the players of today hardly know how to volley!

I miss the days when top women used to play doubles, and it was played like this... Fast, skillful, athletic. Nowadays it's terrible...i never thought I'd see baseline rallies in doubles!
No te creas... ya había sido campeona de dobles en wimbledon 96 y Australia 97. La dupla con Arantxa no funcionó bien en toda la temporada y Novotna estuvo excelente ese día...
Thanks for sharing :) the four grand slams champions of 1998 on one court
Wow..nice point..
The amount of talent on that court is off the charts!
This is wonderful classic doubles. I had forgotten how great Novotna was at net. She was amazing
Fun match. Novotna in particular was in great form.
The 3 Olympic Medalists of 1996.
preciousjey the four grand slam champions of 1998
dear Jana, sweet Jana..nice Jana : you are a star shining in the twilight, now...
Thanks for the upload. This was an awesome match to watch, excellent skills from all these great champions.
Thanks. Never saw this before. Some good stuff here.
Just brilliant tennis! Really cool that top women players were still willing to contribute to doubles!
Well, other players want a Life as well.
RIP Jana Novotna

Actually during this time only the top women played doubles. The top guys during this time - Chang, Sampras, etc didn’t play doubles.
Novotna and Aranxta had such a cold handshake lol
Tjordful I think they had a falling out during wimbledon that year, not sure why.
Ken Adams really? Where did you hear that? I would love to know what happened?
I think Arantxa made some unpleasant remarks on Jana’s sexual orientation

Hingis was 15...unbelievable
Faisal M It was 97. She has 17.
@@Rune8119 Still 16. She turned 17 later that month..
Great age of womens tennis.
en este partido se nota la inexperiencia de Hingis en el dobles!
No te creas... ya había sido campeona de dobles en wimbledon 96 y Australia 97. La dupla con Arantxa no funcionó bien en toda la temporada y Novotna estuvo excelente ese día...
Aaa pues no sabía! Es una pena q no funcionara esta pareja, las dos son unas doblistas increíbles!
Arantxa and Novotna ,, they were Angry.,.,¡¡¡
shame about the video quality
hingis played bad in this match
Not really.
while women doubles is about volley not like now they just love baseline rally
