Martina hingis vs monica seles biography

The Martina Hingis-Monica Seles clash at the Ericsson Open was expected to be one of the matches of the tournament, but it turned into one of the most lopsided contests in history. Hingis was the reigning world No 1 with five Grand Slam titles to her name while she also finished runner-up at the Australian Open a few weeks earlier.

Seles was a former world No 1 with nine Grand Slam titles and, although she was not the same player as before she was stabbed in , the American was still at the top of her game. So it was no surprise that a capacity crowd of 14, people turned up at Stadium Court for the semi-final, but it was all over in 39 minutes and Seles was booed off the court.

The year-old, who was troubled by a right ankle injury, won only 21 points — seven in the first set and 15 in the second — and finished the match with a double fault. Hingis had some sympathy for her opponent, who was clearly struggling physically and mentally, after the match.
