No Full Return, But Martina Hingis To Play World Team Tennis
Martina Hingis, 29, can’t help but contemplate another comeback when she sees the success Kim Clijsters and Justine Henin are having after being away.
“There’s a spark,” Hingis said, but she is ruling out a return to the tour “at this point,” primarily because of the travel.
The five-time Grand Slam singles champion and youngest woman to be ranked No. 1 retired for the second time in 2007, when she was given a two-year suspension for testing positive for cocaine. The ban ended Sept. 30, and Hingis has committed to a full season of World TeamTennis, the coed league founded by Billie Jean King that is entering its 35th season.
Hingis has successful peers in Clijsters, who won the ‘09 U.S. Open, and Henin, who reached the Australian Open final.
“It’s great to see them dig deep and come back that well,” Hingis said. “I don’t know if I could handle it.”

Nike Minnesota Twins Women’s Cooperstown Adjustable Hat – Navy Blue-Light Blue $17.95 Getting a plaque in Cooperstown is no easy feat. In 1961, Roger Maris broke Babe Ruthâs single-season Home Run record by hitting 61 long balls. It was a record that stood until that magical season of â98 when Mark McGwire beat Sammy Sosa to the crown of Home Run King. Maris might not have had a stellar career, but just the impressiveness of that record deserves a place in the Hall of Fame. Acquiring 3,000 hits, hitting 500 homers or winning 300 games seems to be the only way someone can guarantee their spot in Cooperstown nowadays. But now with this Twins Cooperstown adjustable hat by Nike, you can assure yourself that youâll become a first ballot Hall of Famer for being the greatest Twinkies fan around. With an embroidered throwback team logo on the contrast bill, this Twins vintage hat will have you retiring next to the greatest of all-time. Being mentioned with the likes of Kirby Puckett and Harmon Killebrew will certainly make your life long dedication to Minnesota baseball worthwhile. |
