Well, Martina Hingis waisted no time moving on to the fourth round of the French Open in just 35 minutes. With a win over Croatian Ivan Lisjak 6/1 6/1.
Unfortunately, I did not get to see this match myself due to poor coverage by NBC who chose to stick with men's matches only for their entire day of French Open broadcast.
But I have read articles and reports, and according to them Martina played magnificently. She had 25 winners and only 8 unforced errors. She even threw in a couple of aces. Again she didn't get much of a challenge this match either.
Tomorrow's match however might be a different story she's playing Shahar Peer from Israel. Who is having a very good week, and who ousted Elena Dementieva to get to the fourth round. Hopefully I'll actually get to see it. And since Martina finished her match so quickly she'll have plenty of energy tomorrow.
It should be interesting to see how Martina handles this player. As I've mentioned before things will just get more and more difficult for Hingis in the second week. She'll be facing tough competition from Kim Clijsters to Justine Henin. It's gonna be a good week:).
Here are links to a couple of great articles that detail this match. One is from the French Open site and the other is from TSN.ca.
