Well she'll turn 37 years old in September; she's not getting any younger and if she already gave what she had to give in this comeback which was been damn successful, we really can't complain ;) Let's just hope she can improve from these results in the following tournaments; if not I hope she won't drag this situation for too long...

It's very strange. How could Hingis have been winning slams this time last year (AO) and suddenly declined in the last few months. A touch player like her should be able to last longer on tour. I think Sania and her were perfectly matched, and i think both declined a little last year. She needs a consistent power player like Safarova or Shvedova.

Yep. I wonder if she is carrying a chronic little injury and just not able to practice as much?

Chan was the better player today, has to be said. Legend hardly produced any of her true level, makes me very sad. She's just so flat, doesn't seem to be enjoying herself much.
I know! :SNE:

How many top-20 singles players play full doubles schedules? Hardly any.

And frankly, I'm surprised Hingis/Timea lost eight games to a doubles team which included Hesse.
That was an odd match though because Switzerland had already won, it was pretty fun and competitive. Kiki was ALMOST good enough to carry the team.

I don't understand why Hingis doesn't try a partnership with Timea Bacsinszky on the WTA tour. As a new team they did very well at the Olympics and they just kicked Kiki's a** at Fed Cup. They seem to have a good chemistry which is probably enhanced because both are Swiss.
I agree with this! It also forces Timea to work on her forehand. 0:)

All this to say, I hope Martina figures it out and wins a title this year, soon.

I really like this team but it certainly doesn't seem like a very lasting one. Every time I check the scores and see that Legend lost, I fear she's going to call it a day for once and for all :sobbing:

I've been thinking this for quite a long time now and I'm still convinced that her best chance after Mirza would be Shvedova. Yara's got the power and steadiness that Martina hasn't and she's proved to be successful with this type of player (couple of GS with King).
