Times Online January 02, 2006 http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,5205-1967162,00.html By Times Online and Agencies Martina Hingis, the former world No 1, rated her comeback to professional tennis in the Australian women's hardcourt tournament on Monday a rating of eight out of ten. After a three-year break from the WTA Tour, the five-time Grand Slam singles champion was predictably rusty early before going on to claim a 6-2, 6-1 first-round victory over Venezuela's Maria Vento-Kabchi. Asked to rate her performance against Vento-Kabchi, the world No 62, Hingis said: "Under the circumstances in the heat and not having played for three years, I'd say an eight, other times even better. I don't know what else I should have done today better than what I did. The score says it all." Hingis retired in 2002 with ankle, foot and heel injuries before making an abortive comeback attempt in a WTA event in Thailand in February last year when she lost to Germany's Marlene Weingartner. Her serve has improved and her groundstrokes appear considerably stronger than when she retired at the age of 22 in 2002. (感覺比以前還要進步了呢^^) "Just wait until the next matches, I'll be even better," Hingis said of her serve. "You have to have a high percentage of first serves otherwise these girls today are going to kill you. They're very aggressive and they attack right away." Hingis next plays Klara Koukalova, the world No 35, of the Czech Republic on Wednesday. "I get another opportunity to play another match and that feels great already," she said. "All these expectations I've put on myself, it's gone right now for this moment. I'll feel great for the next 24 hours I'm sure." -- ★surreal 如果你覺得沒有人為你停留那你就為他們停留吧 2005/12/08 Thu 00:30:1 http://www.wretch.cc/blog/sunni -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.130.202.190 ※ 編輯: Sunni 來自: 140.130.202.190 (01/02 22:43)
