Martina Hingis to play Nottingham Masters event

Former Wimbledon champions Martina Hingis and Richard Krajicek will be the star attractions at this summer's Nottingham Masters tournament.

The event takes place at Nottingham Tennis Centre between 10 and 13 June.

Krajicek, winner of last year's men's title, won 20 career titles including the Wimbledon men's title in 1996.

Hingis became the youngest player to win a Grand Slam, winning the women's doubles title at Wimbledon at the age of 15 in 1995.

The Swiss originally retired from tennis in 2003 but launched a comeback before retiring for a second time in in 2008 after being found guilty of a doping offence in 2007.

Hmm... is it me, or is Martina playing an awful lot of tennis this summer?, (no that is not an insinuation of a possible comeback) just a simple observation.

I guess she has missed the sport (as much as all her fans have missed seeing her play).

Seems like she just can't wait to get back out there (and I couldn't be happier!).

I hope this means we'll see her in the stands at the major Grand Slams *fingers crossed*.
