I'm so grateful I can watch all these matches, god, I love youtube

That year was incredible for her. This was her peak.

I absolutely miss this era of tennis, especially the women's game.

There is longevity, consistency and being on the top yet there is sudden surge and you are all over. I remember as a young kid, Hingis with QF or SF loss in US Open in 1996 wearing some grey or black checked cloth. Then in 1997, she was all over. I won the Quiz contest in my school due to which my school sent me inter school quiz contest where I was asked "Who is the top seed youngest lawn tennis player?"

Hingis a class in motion.... She "played" tennis.... It was game not force... Sheer joy to watch her

just love how hingis is hitting on the rise.  she's deflecting really well. nice upload

Just to be clear: I refer to Hingis's post-1997 results vs those four players in Slams - she held her own overall, in tour events.

Martina Hingis, so lovely

So incredible!!

It’s amazing how much Venus improved after this & Martina’s game stayed basically the same.

Martina Hingis...#1.-

Love Hingis!

Martina H's first - and only - US Open, as it turned out. The big hitters, the Williams sisters, Davenport and Capriati, usually had too much firepower for her ultimately, despite her cerebral game - which John McEnroe rightly compared to that of a chess master!

Such a shame hinges only won 5 slams was a lovely player to watch but just couldn't cope with the big hitters

are you gonna be copyrighted (please say no)

And now in 2025 Venus Williams is still playing

came here for the refresher, after watching King Richard.  decent sports movie.  I was at this match -- way up high, i remember my allergies were terrible (always are that time of year), had to get a new prescription the next day.  so actually I've never seen this broadcast.  I remember venus being the underdog, i did not remember that hingis was actually a little younger.  I remember venus being blown away in the frst set, I think 6-0, the second much closer 6-4 as I remember.  I used to love going to the US Open, especially the early rounds. I saw hingis a couple of years earlier, actually.  I also remember that at around this time, Richard Williams was saying that he had another daughter who was going to be better than Venus, and I didn't believe it.

Vênus era uma ótima tenista...tinha mas técnica que a Serena, mas Vênus era de uma época com outras tênis de qualidade como Martina  , adorava ver ela jogar.
