Hingis Ends Retirement
Martina Hingis is returning to professional tennis — again.
The former top-ranked player, who retired from the WTA Tour three years ago because of an ankle injury, won five Grand Slam singles titles in her career and was the youngest player to be ranked No. 1. Martina Hingis retired in 2002 at the age of 22 after winning five Grand Slam titles.
“I was never happy that my injuries cut my career short and ultimately forced my decision to step away from tennis,” Hingis said Tuesday in a statement. “I have enjoyed my time away from the court. However, I miss the game and the challenge of competing at the highest level of tennis and I want to gauge whether I can stay healthy and compete against today’s top players.” - SI.com
She retired so early. Glad she’s back. She’s only 25 so she can still play..Mary Pierce is 5 yrs older and has actually gotten better!
