Martina Hingis playing in Sunfeast Open

Well Martina starts playing in India this week. It is her first time playing in this tournament. She seems quite popular there though, because she received a very warm welcome at the airport and was mobbed by photographers. Who were just so excited to have seeded player and a former number one in the tourney:D.

She actually had to have extra security just to get to her hotel from the airport lol. So I guess Martina is gonna be a big attraction there. I don't see her having too many problems with the players, well except for Sonia Mirza who is India's star player.

Although seeing as how her ranking has plummeted lately I'm not too worried. I'm glad Martina is playing these smaller tournaments. I think it'll be good for her mental toughness, as well as match practice. It might even allow her to work on some things. Not to mention keep her in the top 10:).
