Martina Hingis and Lindsay Davenport to meet in exhibition

exhibition match: Martina Hingis / Lindsay Davenport (January 17, 2009)

This is a nice meeting in perspective, a dual tennis feminin, January 17 Martina Hingis will next meet her old friend and great rival Lindsay Davenport in Berlin for an exhibition tournament tennis-Arcaden the classics and all in a room with a capacity 6,000 seats. Admission is free
.




NEWS: The British newspaper listed the top 5 of the decade in tennis. The winners were:





1 Roger Federer Simply the greatest player of any modern decade, and a stylist too, proving that grace and power can co-exist.

2 Rafa Nadal A phenomenon in his own right, and in many ways the antithesis of Federer.
The Spaniard's appeal is to the youth culture, and it is to be hoped he is not similarly transient.



3 Serena Williams The greatest competitor of her generation who surprisingly endeared herself to all but the starched-white, po-faced with her outburst at this year's US Open
. Now where was it she was going to stick that tennis ball?




4 Venus Williams The greatest grass court player of the decade, though second best to her sis on all other surfaces - but my, how the two have stuck together.


5 Martina Hingis The complete player, and most cerebral champion, though prone to self-destruct both on and off court.
If only she had been 6in taller then it would have been her decade beyond question.
