Martina Hingis continues to dazzle in WTT NY Sportimes

CITRUS HEIGHTS, CA - Former world No. 1 ranked women's tennis star Martina Hingis, a 14-time Grand Slam champion impressed in her World Team Tennis appearance against the Sacramento Capitals at Sunrise Mall on Friday evening.

Hingis, playing as the marquee player for the New York Sportstimes defeated the Capitals' Yasmin Schnack, of Elk Grove 5-1 in the Women's Singles match in Sacramento's home opener.

Hingis then teamed with her doubles partners Travis Parrott in mixed and Kate O'Brien to defeat Sacramento 5-1 in both matches.

New York spoiled opening-night, defeating the Caps 21-12 on Friday night.

Hingis, now 30-years old boasts a career full of accolades which includes three Australian Opens, one Wimbledon, one U.S. Open championship and a total of 209 weeks as the World No. 1 women's player.

After signifigant ligament injuries in both of her ankles, Hingis' career was cut short in 2002, causing the 22-year old to remain absent from the Women's Tennis Association until 2006. Hingis retired in 2007 after testing positive for cocaine at Wimbledon, which she denied ever taking.

New York won all but one category in Friday's matches against the Capitals. Here's a recap of Friday's action:
