Hingis is playing again?? Sheesh, how did I miss that, I really liked her.
I always liked her. She has incredible talent but I think she needed her head fixed to deal better with losses and mistakes, perhaps a sports psychologist fixed her.
I copied and pasted but that link didn't work. Does it work for you?

Maria Sharapova defeated Martina Hingis in straight sets Friday to reach the semifinals of the Dubai Open.
... Sharapova will play Davenport in the semifinals later Friday, while Henin-Hardenne faces Kuznetsova.
...Hingis, a five-time Grand Slam singles winner, kept pace with Sharapova until 3-3. The Russian then unleashed forehand winners to break Hingis in the seventh and ninth games to win the first set.
"I needed to keep on attacking as it is difficult to keep rallying with her," Sharapova said.
The pair twice traded serves to tie 3-3 in the second set before Sharapova broke Hingis in the eighth game. Sharapova had a chance to serve for the set, but made several unforced errors before converting her third match point.
"I was not patient enough, and my concentration was not good," said Hingis, ranked 50th after a three-year retirement. "My aim right now is to get seedings in tournaments. That should give me a few easy first-round matches. If I can achieve that, I will start thinking of other goals."
