Hingis through to 2nd round at Wimbledon


A very happy Martina Hingis after winning 1st round easily 6/2 6/2


Well Martina Hingis had no trouble getting past Olga Suvchak today in just 28 minutes. A match that continued over from yesterday. Very impressive. Unfortunately once again I only got to see a couple of points.

Due to the rain yesterday there was a huge backlog and not a lot of ladies matches have been shown today. From what I have read all points by Hingis were very well constructed.

And once again her volleying and court finesse paid off quite well. As expected. I'm very happy that she moved on and that it wasn't a repeat of the 2001 Wimbledon where she lost in the first round.

Not that there was ever any doubt in my mind about her winning this one with the way she has been playing this year. I still think she has a real chance to win this thing. So congrats to her and best of luck in her second round match.

I'm going back to watch Andre Agassi play, things are looking better for him hope he pulls through.

Here is an article from the Wimbledon site related to the match
