Martina Hingis Games Quotations

The game overall has gotten so much better, stronger, more physical parts to the game.

It was definitely a good performance today. I played smart and concentrated throughout the whole match. It was key in the first games to hold serve.

It wasn't an easy match. But on the other hand, I made the important points, I won those games which I needed to win.

For sure since 4-1 I started to play better. All these chances I had and games I could have won, she won anyway. You've got to have the stamina.

I was never happy that my injuries cut my career short and ultimately forced my decision to step away from tennis. I have enjoyed my time away from the court, a period that has allowed me to experience a different side of life. 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.

A lot of these young girls, they dont even know what the game is about. They have never seen a drop shot, a slice and all the mixture and variety I have.

Playing (Serena) it always felt like playing a steamroller. No subtlety, no finesse, just raw, loud power. To respect this style of play was always a bit tough for me, but of course I had to, because the rules of tennis dont state that having a beautiful game is required to become No. 1.

The first three games it was a little chilly out, but after that it got a little better.
