Despite narrowly missing out on the chance for a Non-Calendar Year Grand Slam in women's doubles, Martina Hingis and Sania Mirza nonetheless competed for hardware at the French Open on Friday, with Hingis partnering Leander Paes to defeat Mirza, the No.2 seed in the mixed doubles tournament, and Bruno Soares to win a Mixed Doubles Career Slam, 4-6, 6-4, 10-8.

"It's an amazing feeling I think any time you are part of writing a record book," Hingis told press after the match. "So it's nice to have these achievements when you look back on your career. And not only to win it, but also how to win it.

"I think it's also that we're not the youngest ones to have like 20 more chances to come back to Roland Garros and make it happen. It was always probably one of the most difficult surfaces and difficult times also given throughout the two weeks here the circumstances that didn't always help.

"But I think it's the same to everybody, and you have to take the best out for you and we managed to come on top. I'm very proud of that."

Hingis and Mirza fell in the third round of women's doubles to eventual semifinalists Barbora Krejcikova and Katerina Siniakova, but flourished in the mixed event. Hingis and Paes captured three of the four mixed doubles majors last year, and came through the event unseeded this week to up-end Mirza and Soares - who won the 2014 US Open together - from a set down.

Paes completed his own Career Slam in mixed doubles with Friday's win, and was effusive in praising his partner in the post-match press conference.

"All of you have written about Martina Hingis the tennis player, but if you actually look at Martina Hingis the person, she's a greater champion even off the court than she is on the court.

"She handles adversity amazingly with a lot of grace. She handles tough situations very easily. When we get on the court, the way that we communicate, she's one of the world's best communicators, and that's why I love playing with her."

"He's always there when it matters, big points," Hingis added of Paes. "Like he says, he embraces the big points, big moments. I know I can trust the moments with my life that he's actually going to put that return in and gonna make a play.

"That's what happened today and yesterday, and the tournament and in the past."

Martinie Hingis nie podoba się kierunek, w którym zmierza kobiecy tenis. Według Szwajcarki za dużo w nim jest siły mięśni, a za mało myślenia.

Od 1997 do 1999 roku Martina Hingis zdobyła pięć wielkoszlemowych tytułów w singlu. W ostatnich dniach Szwajcarka grała w barwach UAE Royals w azjatyckiej International Premier Tennis League (IPTL). 36-latka z Feusisberg przedstawiła swoje zdanie na temat kierunku, w jakim ewoluował kobiecy tenis.


Myrtille Georges: Druga runda wielkoszlemowego turnieju to pieniądze na sześć miesięcy
- Wszystko się zmieniło, jak choćby struny rakiet. Ale nie koniecznie mogę powiedzieć, że tenis kobiecy rozwinął się w kierunku mądrzejszej gry - powiedziała Hingis. - Wcześniej edukacja zawodniczek była silniejsza, teraz przebiega to bardziej indywidualnie i jednostronnie. Jest tylko kilka tenisistek kreatywnych, potrafiących grać strategicznie. Nie mogę powiedzieć, że poziom gry się poprawił. Tenis jest coraz bardziej fizyczny, ale nie ma to przełożenia na jakość - dodała.

Tenis Hingis to szkoła myślenia. Szwajcarka nie poradziła sobie z nadejściem brutalnej siły w osobach sióstr Williams. Po roku 2000 wielkoszlemowych tytułów już nie zdobyła, ale potrafiła toczyć zażarte boje zarówno z Venus, jak i Sereną. W 2001 roku obie pokonała w Australian Open. W latach 2000-2002 grała w Melbourne w finale, ale przegrała kolejno z Lindsay Davenport, Jennifer Capriati i Sereną Williams. To były najlepsze wielkoszlemowe rezultaty Hingis od 2000 roku.

- Zawsze lubiłam grać z siostrami Williams, bo nasze mecze zapewniały najlepszy tenis, tak przynajmniej sądzę. Ciągle widzę komentarze, które pokazują, że ludzie dobrze się bawili, gdy z nimi grałam. To bardzo miłe - powiedziała Hingis. Szwajcarka z Sereną ma bilans meczów 6-7, a z Venus 11-10.

ZAMKNIJ

Wygrywając Australian Open 1997 miała 16 lat i trzy miesiące. Została najmłodszą zwyciężczynią wielkoszlemowego turnieju. Według Szwajcarki to nie sama siła jest teraz problemem, bo stał się ona powszechna, ale za jej czasów kwitły również inne style. - Zawodniczki nastawione tylko na siłę miały bardzo trudną drogę do sukcesów, bo grały przecież Justine [Henin], [Amelie] Mauresmo. Były też inne tenisistki, nawet Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario miała korzystny bilans meczów z Sereną - powiedziała Hingis.
W 1997 roku Hingis była blisko zdobycia Klasycznego Wielkiego Szlema. Wygrała Australian Open, Wimbledon i US Open. W finale Rolanda Garrosa Szwajcarka przegrała z Chorwatką Ivą Majoli.

REKLAMA

Szwajcarka zakończyła karierę w lutym 2003, ale wróciła w 2005 i grała do 2007 roku, gdy została zawieszona przez ITF za pozytywny wynik testu antydopingowego (w jej organizmie wykryto kokainę). Ponownie jednak wróciła na korty, tym razem w deblu. Hingis i Hinduska Sania Mirza decydowały o sile gry podwójnej, w 2015 i 2016 roku zdobywając trzy wielkoszlemowe tytuły. Szwajcarka łącznie święciła 22 triumfy w najważniejszych turniejach - pięć w singlu, 12 w deblu i pięć w mikście. W tym roku w Rio de Janeiro zdobyła srebrny medal olimpijski (w parze z Timeą Bacsinszky).

Martina Hingis has announced her retirement from tennis for a third time.

The 37-year-old Swiss revealed the news at the WTA Finals in Singapore, where she is playing in the doubles event with partner Chan Yung-jan.

Quoted on srf.ch, Hingis said: "It's the right time for me. It's better to stop at the peak and I can say I had a very good time.

"The successes I've had over the past three years have been great and it's going to be hard to beat anyway. And my priorities change, too, of course."

Hingis returned to the sport for the third time in 2013 and forged a hugely successful career in doubles, winning 10 more grand slam titles, taking her overall tally to 25.

She retires ranked as the doubles world No 1 and as the holder of the US Open women's doubles title and mixed titles at Wimbledon and in New York.

Hingis prompted speculation about her future at the US Open when she stopped short of committing to going for a third straight mixed crown with Britain's Jamie Murray at the Australian Open.

Hingis was a child prodigy and the youngest ever grand slam champion, winning the women's doubles with Helena Sukova at Wimbledon in 1996 at the age of just 15.

The following year she dominated in singles, winning the Australian Open, Wimbledon and US Open titles and reaching the French Open final.

She was ranked world No 1 aged 16 and added two more grand slam singles titles in her teens as well as completing the women's doubles Grand Slam in 1998.

But Hingis began to struggle with ankle problems and announced her retirement from tennis in 2003 aged just 22.

Four years later Hingis returned with more success, winning two WTA Tour singles events in 2006 and qualifying for the WTA Finals as well as winning her first mixed doubles grand slam title.

But injuries began to take their toll once more and then in November 2007 Hingis announced she had tested positive for a metabolite of cocaine at Wimbledon.

She appealed but was given a two-year ban by the International Tennis Federation and retired again, but was back in 2010 playing in the seniors doubles events at several grand slams and competing in World Team Tennis.

After being inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame in the summer of 2013, Hingis announced she was making another comeback on the main tour, this time only in doubles.

As a player lacking the power of many of her modern rivals but with sublime touch and a sharp tennis brain, it was no surprise to see Hingis flourish.

She won just her second slam title in 13 years with Sania Mirza in the women's doubles at Wimbledon in 2015 and then added the mixed title with Leander Paes the following day.

Hingis and Mirza won 41 straight matches, racking up titles at the US Open, WTA Finals and Australian Open, but fell short of a non-calendar Grand Slam when they were beaten in the third round of the French Open.

Hingis' subsequent achievements also included a first Olympic medal when she and Timea Bacsinszky claimed silver in the women's doubles in Rio last summer.

Martina Hingis była pierwszą wielką gwiazdą tenisa pochodzącą ze Szwajcarii. Wygrywając Australian Open 1997, zdobyła premierowy w dziejach tytuł wielkoszlemowy dla swojego kraju. Łącznie w dorobku posiada pięć mistrzostw Wielkiego Szlema w singlu, 13 w deblu oraz siedem w mikście.


Stan Wawrinka zaskoczony odejściem trenera. "To było wielkie rozczarowanie"
- W pewnym sensie czuję się pionierką, bo przede mną nikt dla Szwajcarii nie zdobył wielkoszlemowego tytułu - powiedziała Hingis w rozmowie z dziennikiem "Blick". - Ci, którzy przyszli po mnie, mieli punkt odniesienia. Wskazałem drogę do sukcesu Federerowi i Wawrince. Im było trochę łatwiej wygrywać turnieje wielkoszlemowe, bo nie mieli takiej presji, aby być tym pierwszym.

Sezon 2017 był ostatnim w długiej i bogatej w sukcesy karierze Szwajcarki. - Z biegiem lat zdawałem sobie sprawę, że życie tenisistki jest bardzo trudne, ale jednocześnie pouczające. Cieszę się, że było mi dane doświadczyć tyle w swoim życiu. Dzięki tenisowi mówię w czterech językach, a teraz uczę się indyjskiego i chińskiego - wyjawiła.

Hingis obawia się, że dla szwajcarskiego tenisa nadchodzą gorsze czasy. - Po tylu wspaniałych latach w Szwajcarii przywykliśmy, że tenisiści odnoszą sukcesy. Obecnie większość naszych zawodników nie prezentuje tak wysokiego poziomu, ale mamy kilka nadziei, a także są Bacsinszky i Bencić.

Zapytana, czym będzie zajmować się na sportowej emeryturze, Hingis odparła: - Mam nadzieję, że rozpocznę pracę jako trenerka. Może pomogę komuś stać się nowym Federerem.

The ITF announced today that Spanish duo Rafael Nadal and Garbine Muguruza have been named the 2017 ITF World Champions.

Nadal receives the honour for the third time, while it is the first year Muguruza has been recognised. This is the first time since Americans Pete Sampras and Lindsay Davenport in 1998 that the men’s and women’s ITF world champions are from the same country.

In their first seasons together, Lukasz Kubot of Poland and Marcelo Melo of Brazil, and Chan Yun-Jan of Chinese Taipei and the recently-retired Martina Hingis of Switzerland are named Doubles World Champions.

David Wagner of USA becomes the inaugural ITF Quad Wheelchair World Champion; while Gustavo Fernandez of Argentina is named Men’s Wheelchair World Champion for the first time; and Japan’s Yui Kamiji earns her second Women's Wheelchair World Champion honour.

Axel Geller of Argentina and Whitney Osuigwe of USA are named ITF Junior World Champions.

The ITF World Champions will receive their awards at the 2018 ITF World Champions Dinner on Tuesday 5 June, in Paris, during Roland Garros. Eight of the eleven players are being honoured for the first time, including a record three South American players.

Rafael Nadal becomes the oldest ITF Men's World Champion at the age of 31 after a stunning comeback year in which he won a record tenth Roland Garros title and a third US Open crown. He was also a finalist at the Australian Open. Nadal claimed six titles in 2017 and sealed the year-end No. 1 ranking at the Paris Masters, becoming the oldest player to do so since the inception of the ATP rankings in 1973.

Nadal said: “I am very happy to receive this award from the ITF and be the 2017 ITF World Champion. It is four years since I last finished No. 1 on the ATP rankings and this has a special feeling. Congrats also to Garbine on her achievement which is great for our country. Many thanks to my team and my fans, and a special thank you to my uncle Toni for all these years.”

Garbine Muguruza is the second Spanish woman to be named ITF Women's World Champion after Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario in 1994. She followed her breakthrough year in 2016 by capturing her first Wimbledon title, dropping just one set along the way. Muguruza took her form to Cincinnati, defeating her closest rival in 2017, Simona Halep, in the final, and went on to achieve the No. 1 ranking in September, finishing the year at No. 2.

Muguruza said: “Becoming ITF World Champion in such a competitive year is amazing for me and is even more special because Rafa has also been awarded on the men's side. He is a great role model for all of us, so it is a great moment for tennis in Spain. I knew that putting in the hard work would pay off eventually and it made winning Wimbledon and achieving the No. 1 ranking so special. I’m motivated to take everything I’ve learned this year and apply it to my work next season.”

ITF President David Haggerty said: “Rafael Nadal and Garbine Muguruza are fully deserving of the title of ITF World Champion and are great ambassadors for their country and our sport. In a year that saw some outstanding performances by familiar names and new faces, both demonstrated their fighting qualities to come out on top. We also acknowledge the strength and experience of our doubles World Champions, Lukasz Kubot and Marcelo Melo, and Chan Yun-Jan and Martina Hingis, with both pairs receiving this honour in their first season together.”

Lukasz Kubot and Marcelo Melo ended the year as the No. 1 men’s doubles team in their first full season together, sealing the top spot at the ATP Finals. A memorable year for the pair was highlighted by six titles, with an undefeated grass-court season culminating in victory at Wimbledon following an epic 4 hour, 40 minute title match against Oliver Marach and Mate Pavic.

Kubot said: "We are very happy and thankful to our team members who put in a lot of work and energy on and off the court, and to our fans. When we teamed up our target was to finish 2017 at the ATP Finals, and from the very start of the year we tried to find a strategy to build up our confidence. All the small details came together during the year and we had great results. We are already looking forward to next season.”

Melo said: “I'm very happy and honoured to be named ITF World Champion. It's something we dreamed about and now we made it happen. This year has been amazing for me and Lukasz, the first year we're playing together. Finishing the year as the No. 1 team in the world means a lot to me.”

Chan Yun-Jan and Martina Hingis also enjoyed an outstanding first and, due to Hingis’s recent retirement, only season together to end 2017 as the No. 1-ranked team. The pair won all nine finals they contested, including winning the US Open without dropping a set. Chan is the first woman from Chinese Taipei to be named ITF World Champion, while Hingis adds to her doubles awards from 1999 and 2015, and singles honours from 1997, 1999 and 2000.

Hingis said: "It’s a great honour to be recognised again as ITF World Doubles Champion and to have the news top off what’s been an amazing final season for me. I look forward to coming back to Paris next year."

Chan said: "It’s an honour to be named ITF World Doubles Champion and I am even happier that I get to share it with Martina. We had an amazing season together and I am very pleased we got to finish it on such a high note."

The ITF’s selection of its senior World Champions is based on an objective system that considers all results during the year, but gives special weight to the Grand Slam tournaments, and two ITF international team competitions, Davis Cup and Fed Cup by BNP Paribas.

David Wagner is the first-ever ITF Quad Wheelchair World Champion after finishing as No. 1 for the eighth time in his career, 12 years after first ending the year in the top spot. The 43-year-old captured his sixth Grand Slam title at the US Open and clinched the year-end No. 1 ranking in the last match of the year with victory over Andy Lapthorne to win the NEC Masters. He won a total of 12 tournaments during the year.

Wagner said: “It is a real honour to be the first quad player to be recognised by the ITF at the World Champions Dinner. This award is very special to me, and is much bigger than just me. It is an award that I will always cherish and will always remember the players who came before me.”

Gustavo Fernandez is the first South American to be named ITF Wheelchair World Champion. The 23-year-old had an outstanding year in which he reached the final at three of the four Grand Slam tournaments, winning his second Grand Slam title at the Australian Open. Fernandez won a total of seven singles titles to remain at the top of the rankings in the second half of the year.

Fernandez said: “Without doubt this has been the best year of my career, something I have been waiting for, dreamed of, and worked hard for for a long time. It is very special to have reached No. 1 because of what it means and how difficult it was. I’m very proud of myself and my team, who have been so important in achieving what we’ve done. The recognition serves as a big motivation ahead of next year, in always trying to become a better player.”

Yui Kamiji is ITF Wheelchair World Champion for the second time having previously received the award in 2014. The 23-year-old was again a dominant force on the UNIQLO Wheelchair Tennis Tour, winning three of the four Grand Slam titles, at the Australian Open, Roland Garros and US Open. Kamiji won a total of 14 titles and was a finalist at the NEC Masters in her best year to date.

Kamiji said: “I'm very proud of my season, which started with my first Australian Open title. This year I changed many things and I had to make those changes to get better. I'm very pleased to have won three Grand Slam titles in the same year for the first time and would like to thank all of my team for their support.”

Axel Geller is the first Argentine boy for 22 years to be named ITF Junior World Champion after a rapid rise up the rankings. The 18-year-old enjoyed Grand Slam success at both Wimbledon, winning the doubles title and reaching the singles final, and at the US Open where he also finished runner-up. His breakthrough season ended with a third-placed finish at the ITF Junior Masters and the year-end No. 1 ranking.

Geller said: “I am extremely happy and proud of this achievement. Starting the year, I knew I had the capability to do well, but I never imagined I would finish the year as world No. 1. I have had the opportunity to play the most important tournaments and see what the professionals do every day to be there, and this has motivated me to work even harder to try and get there and achieve great things in the future.”

Whitney Osuigwe becomes ITF Junior World Champion after climbing from world No. 95 to finish the year at No. 1. The 15-year-old claimed her first major title at Roland Garros and helped USA to glory in Junior Fed Cup by BNP Paribas, winning all eight rubbers in singles and doubles. She has won a total of five singles and three doubles titles on the ITF Junior Circuit, and is still in action at this week’s Orange Bowl in Florida.

Osuigwe said: “It’s hard to put in words what exactly it means to have finished No. 1 this year and become Junior World Champion. This is very surprising and I could not be any happier. But I’d also like to think this is the result of the all hard work my team and I have gone through in the last year. I’m excited for what’s to come, and I hope we can keep up with the good results.”

ITF President David Haggerty said: “All our 2017 ITF World Champions have demonstrated true courage and skill in another memorable year for tennis and I would like to thank them for their contribution.”

As we celebrate the 50th anniversary of the US Open, we look back at the 50 champions who have left an indelible mark on this inimitable event.

Across three decades, Martina Hingis captured 25 major championships, a career Grand Slam in both doubles and mixed doubles and one US Open singles crown.

Her recent doubles success – she won 10 major titles from 2015-17 in women's and mixed competition – leaves a trophy-tinted bow on her legendary career, but the Swiss Miss truly carved her name into tennis history as a teen in the late 1990s.

After a breakout 1996 season in which she finished at No. 6 in the WTA Tour rankings as a 16-year-old, Hingis put together one of the great years in women's tennis history in 1997.

As part of a 38-match winning streak, she became the youngest-ever tennis player, man or woman, to win a Grand Slam singles title by taking the 1997 Australian Open. That soon led to another "youngest-ever" accomplishment, when Hingis became world No. 1 in March of that year. Her grip on the top ranking tightened when she won Wimbledon and reached the French Open final that summer, and the Czech-born Swiss capped her historic year with the US Open title.

In just her third season as a professional, and without even a Grand Slam final appearance to her name going into the campaign, Hingis ended up just one match short of a calendar-year Grand Slam. Steffi Graff was the last woman to accomplish the feat, when she won a "Golden Slam" in 1988 that included Olympic gold.

At the 1997 US Open, Hingis was at her punishing best, claiming the title without losing a set – a feat she also accomplished in Australia. In fact, she was not even pushed so far as a tiebreak in any of her seven matches in New York.

Her path to the title went through No. 10 Arantxa Sanchez Vicario of Spain in the quarterfinals, No. 6 Lindsay Davenport in the semis and an unseeded Venus Williams in the final.

In that final, Hingis overwhelmed a 17-year-old Williams, 6-0, 6-4, in the American's US Open debut. Ironically, Hingis was the younger of the two in that match, despite having a great deal more experience on tour. The Swiss would not turn 17 until after lifting the US Open trophy.

Hingis would end the year at No. 1, and she added two more Australian Open singles titles in 1998 and 1999 – the last of her five career major singles championships.

After 80 weeks at the top, she lost her world No. 1 ranking to American Lindsay Davenport in October 1998 but regained it at year's end in both 1999 and 2000. Overall, her 209 weeks at No. 1 are fifth all-time in WTA history.

Amidst all of her singles success, Hingis was also dominant on the doubles tour, highlighted by a calendar-year Grand Slam in 1998, when she won the Australian Open with Mirjana Lucic and the other three titles with Jana Novotna. Prior to that, she won her first career major as a 15-year-old in 1996, when she won the Wimbledon doubles crown with Helena Sukova. That trophy made her the youngest Grand Slam winner in tennis history.

Hingis retired three times in her career, with her last announcement, in October, carrying an unmistakable air of finality.

In 2003, at age 22, she retired due to injury before returning to the tour in 2005. In 2007, she again stepped away from the game, only to return for a final time in 2013.

In recent years at the majors, she has been a mainstay during finals weekend in both doubles and mixed doubles. She completed a career Slam in mixed competition with her 2016 French Open title and won both events at the US Open in 2015 and 2017.

Her 2017 titles in New York came partnering Chan Yung-jan and Jamie Murray, and she finished the year as the WTA's No. 1 doubles player, along with Chan.

It was a fitting end to the International Tennis Hall of Famer's career, though she pledged to stay involved with the sport from the sidelines.

"I am not going to walk away," Hingis told WTATennis.com after her retirement announcement. "I will always be part of the game of tennis."

Hingis spędziła łącznie 299 tygodni w fotelu liderki rankingu WTA - 209 w rywalizacji singlowej i 90 w deblu. Na swoim koncie ma pięć wielkoszlemowych tytułów w grze pojedynczej, 13 w grze podwójnej i siedem w grze mieszanej.
