About
From child prodigy to tennis legend, Martina Hingis holds five Grand Slam Singles Titles, thirteen Grand Slam Women’s Doubles Titles and seven Grand Slam Mixed Doubles Titles, that add up to an astounding 25 Grand Slam Titles in total.
Her body of work is impressive, but the bulk of her success came early. Most of today's players struggle to reach the top 100, much less, pocket a handful of Slams by the age of 18.
In 1998, Hingis won all four of the Grand Slam women's doubles titles, only the fourth in women's tennis history to do so.
Hingis set a series of youngest-ever records during the 1990s, including youngest-ever grand slam champion and youngest-ever world No.1.
She has countless awards to her credit including ‘WTA Player of the Year’ and ‘BBC Overseas Sports Personality of the Year’ in 1997.
In 2003, Hingis retired from the game at just 22 years of age due to injuries. However, she came back from retirement with a bang by winning the mixed doubles title at the Australian Open with Mahesh Bhupathi in 2006.
After a career spanning over 23 years, she retired once again in 2017.
