Martina posing for photos after winning 6/2 7/5I was going to post this later today but I couldn't wait:). I've been waiting a long time to post some Hingis trophy pics. I knew she could do it she was just playing so well this entire tournament.
This is Martina's 41st career title, but her first since coming out of a three year retirement in January. This is also her 2nd Italian Open title she won the first one back in 1998.
I haven't seen the match yet I've only read reports, and according to them Martina played wonderfully.
She seemed to be in total control in the first set then in the second she lost some concentration allowing her opponent to get back into the match and even it out at 5 all. She held her serve and manged to close the match at 2 sets thus capturing the Italian Open title.
I am so happy, it's so great to see one of my favourite players doing so well, it seems like she's getting her confidence back. It was especially evident in yesterday's match against Venus.
This Italian Open win places Hingis in the top 15 in terms of rankings for the French Open. Which is great now she won't have to face any of the really tough players in her early round matches.
Now Hingis has a week off, after that she's heading to the French Open on May 29. Big congratulations to Martina and nothing but the best at the French the only title that eludes her.
Once again all pics are from the Martina Hingis Message board.
