Best strategist and best all court player? Are you including all her titles at the French Open?? 😂😂😂 Martina was a great player but you can't categorize her as best all court player since she never won at the French Open!
For all the bozos criticizing her lack of a French, clay was actually her best surface. In 1997, she suffered a fall from a horse which left her without any practice going into 5e French ( mind you she had just turned 17) and that undermined her confidence in a final she should have easily won over Iva Majoli, and there is no question that the 1999 final against Steffinwas on her racquet and it was a cruel and hostile crowd turning against her that cost her. People forget that Hi his was a child. She was barely 21 when she basically quit, driven out by a very hostile media and an extremely belligerent Richard Williams - these things thankfully would not be tolerated today.
2:28 This point is amazing, and explains why so many commentators at the end of her career, when she was on her third one, playing only doubles between 2013 and 2017 and retiring as WORLD N°1 aged 37, just 20 years after the 1st time she became world n°1 in doubles (a record gap), why commentators from all around the world kept on saying she was surely the best volleyer ever.
Martina may not have that obvious physical advantage over other players, like height, strength or power etc; but when she plays, you would notice quite convinced that she had a unique feeling of touching tennis and the tennis intuitive. I would say something a bit similar to another all time fav-player Fed. Watching her playing is quite enjoyable. She also brought a tradtional elegance to the stage, not like many young gen-player in court showing stressing, big-grunging.
After Steffi Graf retired, I loved Martina Hingis!! She was so up and about the court, knowing where to put her shots and such a lovely smile always even after a defeat
Martina is one of the most gifted tennis players ever. Had a great success in singles at such a young age. Then, she went to be the best double player ever. She managed to win Slams with muliple different partners like a walk in a park.
She is literally the reason i started playing tennis at 19 yo (back in 1999 when i saw her beat Venus in USO semis). I did not know tennis could be played the way she played. I was in total awe.
It was amazing to see Martina going out on top in 2017, 20 yrs after winning in singles, to win both the Doubles and Mixed. Absolute Legend. ❤️ Martina, you are sorely missed! There will never be another.
Wow, what a crazy stat that I was totally ignoring about Martina (and Leander in this case): 1st pair to win 3 of the 4 Slam titles of mixed doubles in one season since... 1969, so, since 46 years. WOW! 😲
What a beautiful era of the WTA... nothing will surpass the match of the quarterfinals of the Australian Open in 2001... Hinguis vs Serena The Williams sisters were beginning to change tennis with their great strength and physical endurance... that is one of the last matches where you could see that classic tennis that was more technical/mental than power or endurance (although it was a great demonstration of all those qualities) and Martina was one of the best in history... what a pleasure to watch her play... the intelligence and the vision... the technique... thanks to her I started to watch and play tennis 🙌 Then the Williams sisters evolved and there were some years where it was impossible to match them or beat them... only a few could... that made the training and strategies change... therefore the game itself... everything changes
c'est votre avis, moi j'aime le style de jeu de Hingis, je sais pour le palmarès de Serana Williams et ce n'est pas un critère @@NotSettlingForSecondBest
5:06: Aged 17, Hingis wins here her first US OPEN women's doubles title, not 1st women's doubles title. She won many other doubles (and single) titles before, including Slams. If we talk only about Slam titles, she owns the record (like ALL the records of precocity of the History of tennis) of youngest ever to win 1 of them, when she was only 15. But the most interesting thing about this particular point is that it's the point that made her complete the doubles GRAND SLAM, aged 17, youngest ever of course, and she was already single's and doubles' world n°1 (in single since the year before, aged only 16, when she did the Small Slam, winning 3 of the 4 Slam tournaments & she played the 4 finals.
9:35 And just a few weeks after this doubles double titles at the US Open, she retired for the 3rd and last time, after the final of the Masters, as... WORLD N°1 again, 20 years after the 1st time she became it in doubles.
Had a big crush on her back in the day and probably still. She was so adorable and fun to watch. The best player of her day in my opinion she might have had a run like Evert or Navritalova with wooden rackets and healthier ankles. She had some tough competition coming up when her injuries started. Still a Hall of Fame career earned before she was old enough to drink in most US states.
Pretty funny, I didn't remember she won the US open women's title with one of the Chan sisters before to beat the other sister (with who the 1st sis was pairing since many years before she left her sis for Hingis) in the mixed double's final. 🙃😀
What is number 8 supposed to be? One thing for sure: something that doesn't belong in a so called "top ten moments" and worse, considerably reduces anyone's willingness, patience wise, to make it to the end of this thing.
Best strategist and best all-court player. Probably best volleyers in her generation
Henin was a better all-court player and her volleys were excellent. Also had a better serve.

@@23EcheoAll court player does not mean "all surface player" lol
@@fundhund62 she's def not the best all court player and fake surface player! Poor thing never won a French Open title 😂😂😂

My all time favourite Martina Hingis ❤
She could be the greatest of all time if she dont get problems after paris 99 love her to❤
Hingis is unique. She has a great hand, touch and great net skill. sad that her peak time in single was too short.
The best!!!
But thankfully, the skirts were also too short :P
I used to love watching Hingis play! I miss those times.
Me too. Swiss Miss
Nee too so much too
@@alessandropapagna564 nee too here
Martina Hingis, la tenista más completa en la historia del tennis....no ha habido ninguna como ella❤
One of a kind player!
Always loved watching Martina play! Sometimes waking up in the middle of the night to watch her matches! 💛🎾
Fabulous talent

Swiss miss. I liked her alot.
One of the best female tennis player ever! Love her finesse and clever game!
After Steffi Graf retired, I loved Martina Hingis!! She was so up and about the court, knowing where to put her shots and such a lovely smile always even after a defeat
Amazed to find out she was still balling it just a few years ago.
Legend
Martina Hingis She's an extraordinarily top tennis player. 🎾😯And an extraordinarily subtle person.
Was she?
The queen of the gentle tennis and net mastery!!!
Miss her so much!!!
Ineed!
The best praise from Roger Federer to Martina Hingis
Martina is one of the most gifted tennis players ever. Had a great success in singles at such a young age. Then, she went to be the best double player ever. She managed to win Slams with muliple different partners like a walk in a park.
The other (better) Martina is the greatest doubles player ever. She won a US Open mixed doubles title at 50. Case CLOSED!
She is literally the reason i started playing tennis at 19 yo (back in 1999 when i saw her beat Venus in USO semis). I did not know tennis could be played the way she played. I was in total awe.
How did you feel about the final?
@@terancetheindomitable9701 it was the dawn of the new power tennis - love serena.

She was the finest tennis player back in my elementary school.. i truly adore her esp her fabulous smile
Hingis’ 1997 run to the US open title is one of the most dominant display of tennis ever.
Amazing player! Her intelligence and touch were second to none.
I dont know how can she beat massive player power...single..double..mix double...incredible
elle était la meilleure joueuse de sa génération, classe et intelligence en jeu
Non, je ne pence pas... comparez les carrières d'elle et Serena Williams. IL n'y a pas de comparaison.
c'est votre avis, moi j'aime le style de jeu de Hingis, je sais pour le palmarès de Serana Williams et ce n'est pas un critère @@NotSettlingForSecondBest
She's indeed a legend!
She was the first women who beat both Williams sister in one tournament
She has a seperate fan base in india 🇮🇳
She came in news when I was in Saudi Arabia in late 90s. I was a kid of 10 years in those times.
Hingis e Serena Williams foram as melhores que eu vi. Sou apaixonado pela qualidade de jogo e pela beleza da suiça desde essa época.

🙃😀
my favourite,
The winner of the singles makes $3 million and the winner of the mixed doubles split 150,000. Something is wrong with that.
Because people rarely watch doubles
CLASSY ALL THE WAY...
If Martina Hingis is happy of what she is doing,I am happy for her too
Aww Jana😢

Моя любимка!!!
Are these Hingis' selections? I would think she would've had more singles matches in there.
I miss the Swiss Miss
Most dramatic tennis match ever
I GROW UP WATCHING HER TENIS I LOVE PLAYING TENNIS ❤❤❤❤MY FAVORITE PLAYER
Talking about young talented players
🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
❤❤❤
Любовь!
She was a fine tennis player. A prodigy, but not in the top 5 greatest tennis players
The best woman you would ever spend time with.
I love villains.
🎾🇨🇭
After martina stopped i stopped watching female tennis😊

Great player, but her treatment of and attitude towards some players was disappointing at times
What a BABE !!
