Today we received word that former tennis queen Martina Hingis got herself engaged to Andreas Bieri, a lawyer from Zurich.
According to Swiss newspaper Blick.ch Hingis told the press Andreas proposed to her a day before Christmas and that she was over the moon with the proposal.
Hingis moved in with Andreas last summer in Hurden.
Hingis was the number of the WTA tour for 209 weeks in a row. Has won a record of 43 titles which includes five Grand Slam titles.
Hingis was forced to retire due to injury in 2002 and made a succesful comeback in 2006. Her succes didn’t last long as she was banned for two years after a doping test found traces of cocaine in her blood.
Nowadays Hingis models for Elite, a leading modeling agency who also have the likes of Gisele Bundchen under contract amongst other stars.
Hingis still has loyal support of her fans who are all in full support of her upcoming marriage.

I must say the news of the engagement does not come as a surprise many fans have suspected as much since last year (the diamond ring was a little hard to miss).
But I suppose it's nice to have an official confirmation.
Congratulations Martina and Andy! (and may I say a ginormous step up from Radek Stepanek).
All the best to them both =). I'm gonna make a bold prediction and say kids are next.
