Close but no cigar for Hingis:(






Well Martina fought hard and did her very best but in the end Amelie Mauresmo won the battle. With a result of 4/6 6/4 4/6. The match started yesterday afternoon and had to be postponed due to poor lighting until this afternoon.

It was a tough 3 setter and at least she can be proud of not bowing out early. And I still think she has definitely become more comfortable on clay. I think by this time next year she could be the one to capture the German title.

Now Martina has a couple of days off before heading off to Rome for the Italian Open on Monday May 15th which will be great preparation for the French Open.

Once again I wish her the best of luck. I found a great article related to the match from Reuters UK. You can read it here
