Martina's clay season off to a good start



Martina fought off a tough 2 setter against Kirilenko 7-5 7-6


Martina Hingis played at the J&P Cup today in Warsaw, Poland and won in a very tough match against Russian Maria Kirilenko.

Next she will be playing Venus Williams. I don't expect her to have any problems there. Martina entered this tournament in preparation for the French Open later this month.

This is her only missing grand slam title so I wish her the best of luck in the coming weeks. I hope she wins this one and gets in some more clay practice at the German Open on May 6th.

Who knows?. This could be the year that she wins the French Open. If there's one thing that I have learned about this player is to never count her out.

Here is an article link related to the story for all interested.
