I was going to post about this later but I couldn't wait I was too excited lol. She did it!. Martina Hingis has one her 42nd WTA title. Beating Roger Federer who has 41. This is her 2nd title since her comeback in January of this year.
She won in Rome back in May. She won this tournament without dropping a set, very impressive. It took her only 57 minutes to get past her Russian opponent Olga Poutchkova, who was a first time finalist.
Martina had no problems in the first set winning easily 6/0 but got more of a challenge in the second but stayed on her game and won the second 6/4. Besides receiving another 28,000 for her win she also got 120 ranking points.
Which will put her into the #8 spot as of Monday. Knocking off fellow Swiss Patty Schnyder to #9. Couple of more good wins like this one and she'll be back in the top 5 in no time:).
Martina has also said in an interview that this win has given her confidence and she finally feels like she deserves to be in the top 10. I love it when I'm right:D.
