Career Head to Head: Hingis leads Henin 2-0

 

[Alexandros]

This is a no-brainer - Henin-Hardenne. But there is a possibility of an upset if Justine isn't in form, her play was rather splotchy last year.

 

[Tundra]

Of course, Martina Hingis will win.

 

[Warriorroger]

Difficult one, should be a good match, smart mouth has been out too long and will lose, but when she is one and so is Henin, it will be a good match.

I pick Henin

I pick Henin

True. It would be amazing to watch those great players with amazing PERSONALITIES battling it out on the tennis court.

 

[janipyt05]

based on how justine i would say martina has a big chance to win only justine has been laid off for so long. That said justine has massive will power to see her through tough matches. I wish no ill will on justine but i woild like amrtina to win this one, it would b a big boost for her confidence and this is the kind of the match she needs to fill like she is back with the ladies at the top. Good luck to both of them though.

The war has ended

 

[Tundra]

The war has ended

What war? The iraq war?

Going back to the topic, hopefully Hingis prevails over Justine. The women's tour needs her.

 

[Volly master]

hingis in 3, JHH is good enough to get a set, but she lacks match play and hingis has a few matchs under her belt.

 

[Rickson]

Justine is a little too powerful with her groundstrokes right now so Martina will have to take a backseat until she gets some more WTA, not WTT, match play under her belt. Justine will beat Martina easily.

admit it, you like me, there's no one who you argue more with than me

You are really weird..

 

[Rodeo]

You are really weird..

Tundra, He may look like an idiot and talk like an idiot but don't let that fool you. He really is an idiot.

 

[Aykhan Mammadov]

I love both of them. They are real TENNIS players, not athletes with muscles and power. But I think Justine is in better sportive form so she must win.

 

[West Coast Ace]

Hingis had a very easy draw at last week's tournament - I can't believe how much credit she's being given for that result. And some seem to forget that she admitted to getting nervous. If she got nervous in that match I can only imagine how tight her arm is going to be when she sees a Top 5 player on the other side of the net.

JHH didn't play much before last year's French - she did ok there. I see her winning this match without too much strife.

 

[RiosTheGenius]

it is too early for Martina to win a match like this one.. there's always a posibility of an upset. but if JHH is playing good it will be too big of a test for a Hingis who 's still getting used to competitive tennis again. in 6 months or a year from now I'll vote for hingis over anyone, but I don't think she'll win big matches in the first semester.... I highly doubt it. she'll get there soon though, she might even surprise us beating Justin, who the hell knows.... the girl definitely has the talent to give anyone a good amount of trouble.

my mum

i luv martina.
shes one of the worlds top shot makers and proved that by making the finals with graff in french open while only 16.
***********
nevertheless, lets not under estimate justine. she has a whopper of a backhand . ..

martina will make her come-back, but its too hard . . . to soon to beat justine . . .[/FONT]
