IW SF: (3)M.Sharapova (RUS) vs (19)M.Hingis (SUI): Who Will Win??

IW SemiFinals: (3)M.Sharapova (RUS) vs (19)M.Hingis (SUI) :hearts: :hearts:

H2H is tied @ 1-1 :hearts:

2006 TOKYO - Hingis def. Sharapova 6-3 6-1
2006 Dubai - Sharapova def. Hingis 6-3 6-4

Go Masha :)

Hingis in 3

:woohoo: Im happy with whoever wins :hearts:

GOODLUCK Girls :yeah:

MArtina in 3 tough sets:bounce:

Masha in 2 or 3 sets

Hingis in three sets.

This is what I live for in tennis - two players who play a decent schedule, and who are consistently in the semifinals and finals of tournaments, and are consistently facing off. It isn't even the claycourt season and Hingis and Sharapova are playing for their third time this year.

Martina in 3, I hope ;)

The day off should work to Martina's favour. I predict she will DESECRATE maria, so badly, that no-one will know what to do to the remains.

I See Martina winning, especially if she brings a big bag of variety with her.

Come on Martina. Do this!!! :p

Pimp that ho Friday Maria.
Maria in three - 6-4 3-6 6-2
or 6-4 7-6

mhin2

Maria in 2 close sets.

I believe HINGIS could win this match in 2 sets 7-5 6-3

Go Martina :bounce:

having just beaten Lindsay, Sharapova shouldn't be too hard for Hingis if she keeps her level of play up

Hingis in 3, I think.. she loves Indian Wells, and should feel confident after her victory over Lindsay.

The day off should work to Martina's favour. I predict she will DESECRATE maria, so badly, that no-one will know what to do to the remains.

I See Martina winning, especially if she brings a big bag of variety with her.

Come on Martina. Do this!!! :p
yea its been building up each day as you go and cheer for Maria's opponent every Round :tape:

I hope Martina wins, she needs to win her first big title here.

Maria will win similar to last time, two sets, 1 break in each.

Hingis in str8...4 and 4 :bounce:

MARTINA HINGIS STRAIGHT SETS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :bounce: :bounce:

I got a feeling Maria will win this in three sets.

Btw, I'm new =).

I hope Martina wins, she needs to win her first big title here.
I also want to see martina win her first title soon, it would only be fitting.

It's Martina's turn to win. Especially if the 'feminine issues' creep up again for Sharapova this year...

This one is soooo hard to pick! I really hope Martina can come through in this one, i really want to see her in the final :D

Martina 6-0, 6-0. To keep Maria gameless at IW Semi-Finals. :lol:

I do think Martina will win 6-4, 3-6, 6-4

i hope hingis.

Sharapova! She's figured Martina out and won't back the same mistakes (twice).

Masha in 2

Masha 75 64

Tough one to call as both players are playing some great stuff in this tournament. I think it's time for Martina to take her first title of her comeback though so I'll go for,

Martina 7-6 6-3

yea its been building up each day as you go and cheer for Maria's opponent every Round :tape:

Well you know me, i always support the underdog! Why should it be different here?

Onto the bigger picture ... well Martina is winning currently by a decent majority. But it makes sense. If Martina can come out like she did against Lindsay, keep those errors to a minimum, and stay focused - this should be her match.

Martina will be Maria's first big rival of the tournament.. it'll be a HUGE leap!

I have faith in Martina, and hope she doesn't beat herself out there. These are my words, so they must come to pass.

Go Go Go Martina!!! Finish this Job in style!

my maria in 2. 6-4, 7-5

Maria in 2 sets :)

Go Maria :bounce:

Martina will win :bounce:

Sharapova! She's figured Martina out and won't back the same mistakes (twice).

Whaaaaaaaaaaaat? Absolute nonsense.

One dimensional player, with sorry excuses so volleys, drop shots, lobs, slice or any other shots that can lead to a player being called varied or an all ourt player - figures out Martina, who can play all the moves and then some....

If Martina can maintain focus, and keep it varied.... we may even have bagels on the menu.

*I'm tired now*

Martina in 2. Could be drubbing.

Hingis facing Top5 player and who is the fav??? Martina..Who would ve predicted this..

Martina:worship:

Maria, time to rape.

I predict a Maria and Justine final...again. :cool:

I'd actually prefer some more votes for Maria... this board is awful as a whole when it comes to predicting! [A la Lindsay and Amelie's losses].

Do that few people believe in the "golden girl". Well.. perhaps disillusionment is almost complete :p

I should hope your string of luck changes. And when it does, you do realize you will have to pay the piper....so to speak :wavey: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Oh my, they are bumping into each other quite frequently given Hingis has been playing for two months only.

I hope this becomes some sort of a rivalry... actually, I just hope Hingis gives her a good thumping each time. :)

Martina will win 6-0 6-0, like what davenport did to sharapova last year!

With Maria smacking all her opponents so far.... :drive:
and Hingis palying nothing so far.... :yawn:
I would say Masha will rip her ass again :banana:

Sharapova 4-6, 7-6, 6-4

Go Maria!

Good luck Martina :)

I love both players!!!!!!

but I have to say, I'm rooting for my BITCHY ASS MARTINA HINGIS!!!!:lol:

SERVE...this goes to Miss Maria Sharapova

Returns..to MARTINA HINGIS

Backhands...to Miss Martina Hingis

FOREHANDS...THIS IS THE KEY TO THE MATCH...whoever remains consistent w/ this STROKE WINS THE MATCH....so I'm goin w/ Martina Hingis

Movement...to Martina Hingis

Transition/Volleys...Miss MARTINA HINGIS

SHORT RALLIES favor Miss MASHA

LONG ASS RALLIES...slight edge to Martina Hingis

FIGHTING SPIRIT....SO CLOSE but I'd say Martina Hingis

Who has a better strategy...my bitchy ass Martina Hingis

GOOD LUCK to BOTH LADIES- NO UEs & WE WANT A HIGH QUALITY MATCH!!!!!!!!

THIS MATCH WILL BE VERY EXCITING FOR TENNIS,FANS & the WTATOUR!!

PLEASE WIN MARTINA!!!!!!!! WE LOVE U!!!!!!!!!!!:hearts:

OH HI Cheo23 :wavey:

Backhands to Miss Hingis?

Hey Dan23!!!!!!:wavey:

yes Backhands to Martina Hingis

she can mix it up so well- flat, w/ some topspin, slices, has a WONDERFUL BH dropshot...so advantage Martina Hingis in the BACKHAND department

I just think she's more consistent...OH god, I hope I haven't jinxed her!!!!:lol:

Gooo Martina :kiss: :hearts:

I can only hope Maria wins this. :D She'll be pumped up for sure to do so much better than last year's IW semis. She'll want to redeem herself, have people forget about the you-know-what and will want to get to the final. When Maria finds that she has to prove something, I have much more confidence in her. ;) C'mon Maria! :bigclap:

Like Oh My God You Guys Martina Hingis Osi To Going To Win Hahhah Whay Havent There Ben A Adurnken Opost On Here Yet/ Oh God Ok So Hyou Gusy Are Lkinda Wierd But You Guys Are Sweet Isop Odrunk Man Pong Is Aweedsojme Itsh Si Is Werid Becau Sei Ts Wtawrod Lubt I Happened To Be On The Screen So I Said Let Me Post Hahhahahahhahahah Ayou Guys Tare Sweet

Goooooo Martinaaaaaaaaaaaa

This one is sooo hard to predict (and, if you look at my other posts, I'm very bad at it ;) ). But I am going to say Sharapova in 3 6-2 1-6 6-4

Like Oh My God You Guys Martina Hingis Osi To Going To Win Hahhah Whay Havent There Ben A Adurnken Opost On Here Yet/ Oh God Ok So Hyou Gusy Are Lkinda Wierd But You Guys Are Sweet Isop Odrunk Man Pong Is Aweedsojme Itsh Si Is Werid Becau Sei Ts Wtawrod Lubt I Happened To Be On The Screen So I Said Let Me Post Hahhahahahhahahah Ayou Guys Tare Sweet

:smash: :retard: :rolleyes: :lol:

its like whatever & GET IT TOGETHER!!!!!!!!!!

It will be a thriller- Maria have now more desire than ever and she will get it after 2 hours and 49 minutes of rough tennis....

I hope Masha will win!

:smash: :retard: :rolleyes: :lol:

its like whatever & GET IT TOGETHER!!!!!!!!!!
bbeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr rrrrrrr

for once i will be rooting for maria 3 sets 1/6 6/2 7/6.

I pick Martina!
And yes, I hope to see her winning the title here!
Go Martina!

I think Maria might just pull through :unsure:

I hope they have a good match! :hearts:

Maria in 3!
Go Maria

Martina. Brainless power just can't compete with technical expertise :p

martina in 3

I predict a Maria and Justine final...again. :cool:

Me too :)

Very very hard to predict. Sorry folks, but I honestly don't know what to expect. The only thing, I've got a feeling Maria will be on her guard and won't take a two-set beating à la Tokyo if she is to lose this one. Plus last year's beatdown must still be stinging so... Martina on a roll, Maria on a revenge mission... This has got all the ingredients of an awesome moment... Hope it turns out this way...

Brainless power just can't compete with technical expertise :p
which match are you talking about? :scratch: :p

M.Hingis (SUI): in 3 SETS

Like Oh My God You Guys Martina Hingis Osi To Going To Win Hahhah Whay Havent There Ben A Adurnken Opost On Here Yet/ Oh God Ok So Hyou Gusy Are Lkinda Wierd But You Guys Are Sweet Isop Odrunk Man Pong Is Aweedsojme Itsh Si Is Werid Becau Sei Ts Wtawrod Lubt I Happened To Be On The Screen So I Said Let Me Post Hahhahahahhahahah Ayou Guys Tare Sweet

Goooooo Martinaaaaaaaaaaaa

Granted there's never been a drunken post yet... but you didn't say what you got drunk on.

Martina. Brainless power just can't compete with technical expertise :p

And, if I may add, GO MARTINA!!!!

Whoever wins the first set 6-3 :p

I think Martina in 3

I hope Hingis in 2 sets. :)

I'll say Maria 46 63 63

hard hard hard :(:(

hingis is my fave tennis player ever but i somehow want maria to win

Martina is very good but Maria will beat her like she did the last time they met. Maria's tennis is far from "brainless", her shot repetoire is expanding, and she knows she can and has beaten Martina.

Get it on tomorrow, Masha!:bounce:

Hingis in three :yeah:

think martinas going to ake masha down!!! 3 sets

I really really want Martina Hingis to win this...and
i really really really want Sharapova to win this...
anyways...hope that this would go to 3 sets.

Good luck, Martina!

Maria... me thinks... However I'd like Martina to win :)

maria in two close sets

martina in 3 close sets.

I hope it's windy. :devil: Martina in 2.

Maria in two, maybe three.

I think Maria will win. If Hingis beats her a second time, I think she has a big shot at being #1 and winning majors this year.
Because Maria is right near the top of the sport.

*I'm tired now*

Good. Its way past your bedtime anyway.

Maria in 2.

Martina in 3 sets. 63 46 75

I hope Martina wins, she needs to win her first big title here.
Yes, I am cheering for Martina , also. :wavey:

Im hoping for Martina 6-3 7-5

Hingis in 3 sets .

Maria is going to win.

it's all maria.

I voted Maria, because I think she'll find a way. But looks like this board is favouring Hingis.

If Hingis wins this title, she really will deserve to be back, beating three Top 10 players on route.

OLD SCHOOL STAND UP! :D Hingis is going to win this one. Maria has lost many big matches since her Wimbledon title in '04, and this will be another notch on that list. Martina has been here; she knows how to handle the pressure - which there is none for her to handle. It's all on Maria, and she has crumbled over and over in the last year and a half. Maria's got a lot to prove IMO, and Hingis will exploit this. Martina in three sets - 6/3, 4/6, 6/3.

Maria in 2 ;)

Hingis in two sets! 7-6, 6-2

anybody else think that martina will double bagel sharapova?

This actually a toss up I don’t know who will win, but I bet its going to be a great match. We will finally have a good match to watch at IW this year.

Sharapova 6-3, 4-6, 6-4.

marti ....

hopefully martina. whoever it is, i hope they lose the final as my faves are on the other side of the draw.

i think maria will win in straight sets and am actually quite surprised how many people think hingis can win, cause the first time they met it was obvious maria was feeling the pressure didnt play well didnt have a plan(compared to dubai) and was also a little bit awed surprised by martina, but i expect maria to win this, because if maria goes out on the court and plays her game well theres no doubt in my mind shell win, but then again theres the off chance she could have a bad day(doubt it as shes been playing well) and to whoever said maria will struggle mentally you obviously didnt see the last match, and also maria has nothing to prove to anyone, and to serena fan who says this i think its serena who needs to prove to everyone that shes capable of beating a top 50 player(sorry to other ws fans but this one deserves it!). maria to win 6-4 7-5 for me.

i don't know who to pick. They are both my favorite players. I don't want either to lose, but one has to. I wish them both the best of luck. :hug:

The first Maria played against Hingis,she surely expected a easy victory. I think Maria was very surprised by the way Hingis played and that's why she lost.. Second time,Maria found the key to beat her,I think. So that's why I bet on a two sets victory of Bella Maria :hearts:

Good luck Martina

If it's windy.... Sharapova could lose.... We all know she can't play her best in the wind... it's one of her weaknesses.

However, if it's not windy and Sharapova plays her game well.... I see her winning this in 2 sets.

The first Maria played against Hingis,she surely expected a easy victory. I think Maria was very surprised by the way Hingis played and that's why she lost.. Second time,Maria found the key to beat her,I think. So that's why I bet on a two sets victory of Bella Maria :hearts:

What do you think was her key to beat Hingis?

What do you think was her key to beat Hingis?

I only saw the match in Tokyo,unfortunately.. In Tokyo,Maria made more UE than usual and was not enough patient.. So I suppose she just took her time and not tried to hit the hardest she could... Wait and see ;)

Maria in three.

OLD SCHOOL STAND UP! :D Hingis is going to win this one. Maria has lost many big matches since her Wimbledon title in '04, and this will be another notch on that list.

I know you are a long time Maria hater, so your post is not surprising. But what exactly does Maria need to "prove" at the age of 18? She's #5 in the world (next week #4), has been in the top 5 for over a year, has reached the quarters or better of the last 20 tournaments she has entered, has won Wimbledon, the YEC, been WTA Player of the Year, and has reached the semis or quarters of every slam since FO 2004.

Of course Martina has more experience, she's 25 years old. Maria has a lot of time to get better and add to her accomplishments.

I think Maria.
But this match will be tough.

Martina was humiliated in their last meeting... :retard:

I say that Martina will lose this match. :sobbing:

If Marti can get her first serves in then i think she will win in 2... something like 6-4 6-3 . Go Marti!!:bounce:

Martina was humiliated in their last meeting... :retard:

I say that Martina will lose this match. :sobbing:

Their second match was way tougher than their first:retard: Martina complately dominated their first match, while the second one was a tough win for Maria, it lasted 1h40 minutes..

Well you know me, i always support the underdog! Why should it be different here?

I know, whoever plays against Maria is the "underdog" to you, Maria must be the best player in your mind :lol:

if she can handle lindsay she can more than handle maria...
if shes playing at 85% or better marti in 2

If Marti can get her first serves in then i think she will win in 2...

i agree and with less unforced errors she will have a big chance on their match ;)

Maria will win in 3 sets 6-3, 4-6, 6-4. Good luck Masha! :)

if she can handle lindsay she can more than handle maria...
if shes playing at 85% or better marti in 2


Maria can handle Lindsay and Marti!:lol:

interesting...

I want Martina to win so badly!!

Maria can handle Lindsay and Marti!:lol:
and all in the same day too ;) :lol:
mark my words, Maria in 2...

I say Sharapova in two tough sets.

Hingis 7-6(4) 7-5

Hingis was exhausted from excessive physical training when Sharapova won their last match. A rested Hingis should win rather easily. Sharapova is a robot, and you need a little bit more to beat Hingis.

god im quite surprised how many people here are picking hingis here but i suppose there are more hingis fans and maria haters. anyhow i think maria will win in straight sets, i really dont know what all the hype about her is all she does is get the ball back with heavy topspin, that worked in tokyo when maria tryed to overpower her and made too many unforced errors and i also think she was feeling the pressure, but then in dubai she got her act together and form and beat hingis in straight sets, this match is in the balance but its all up to maria, and the way shes been playing, and what happened last year(dont really think will be a factor) i predict maria to go out there play her game and win in style. although that does not mean im over confident, but like i said it all depends on masha but i have faith.
and remember...
lets go masha!!!
LETS GO!!!

I think pressure may come into it... Maria is expected to win (well... sort-of) so the pressure is on her while Martina has already exceeded most people's expectations for this tournament when she beat Davenport.

Oh dear... :rolleyes:

I love it when people say, "it's all up to..." Hi, there are two people playing on the court, so actually it's not all up to one of them which is why it is a match as opposed to a practice session with a ball machine :eek: .

I think this match could go either way and I really hope both players are more or less on...Maria with more patience, Martina with a better serve than she has shown in the last two matches...I think part of the hype is that this is looking like the new best rivalry in Women's tennis...but I think ultimately Hingis has the advantage here...variety, anticipation, a plan of action (a few :) ), plus she has won this tournament and been in 2 finals. I think she has more confidence at the moment considering how tough her draw has been, P

Its a tough one to call since both had beat each other once.

But i go with Masha since she really determined to be a champ after so many dissappointing losses she had during 05 and early of 06.

Eventho, masha has lack of variety on her shots, its her mental strength that carried her into the top level of tennis.

LETS GO!!!

If u watched their 2 previous match in tokyo and dubai, u can see 2 different hingis. In tokyo, hingis played very confident, her body language show it and she looked determined to play masha. Everything work with her game, she make masha struggle and beat her.

In dubai, things are different, i think martina didnt show her focus and confident on that match, she was too passive from the beginning of the match. She also didnt move very well (probably still tired due to overtrained as she admitted after beating mirza in the 1st round), On that match i can see martina can do much better if she just want to step her game higher.

Masha was just doing her normal thing on that match, hitting the ball hard enough to kept hingis defensive.

Hingis was exhausted from excessive physical training when Sharapova won their last match. A rested Hingis should win rather easily. Sharapova is a robot, and you need a little bit more to beat Hingis.

i agree, i watched the match and hingis look tired, not determined as she had shown in tokyo.

But all the credits went to masha coz she play better and mentally stronger than hingis. :)

IMO it's all a matter of Martina's anticipation. If it works, Maria won't have a chance.

I think that for Hingis to win she needs to be pumped like she was against Lindsay. After beating Maria in Tokyo her concentration faltered in their Dubai match, which is only natural. Not to mention that Maria played better, and Hingis was tired.

So, Martina needs to run like she did against Lindsay, and SERVE WELL. Good luck to both, but especially to Marti. :p :D

i think youll all be sorry maria will win the match tonight and then what will your exscuses be she was tired after beating lindsay? when maria plays 100% she will always beat hingis, thats a fact im sorry you all have to face and you might just have to face that fact tonight, if maria is on top of her game, although the slower surface might be an issue i still think maria will win.

(19)M.Hingis (SUI): in 3 SETS

msharafan you are a fucking moron please use sentences please? we have not see hingis and sharapova play when they were at 100% so your statement is bullshit so kindly shut the fuck up, loser, and hingis has 5 slams to maria's 1 so hingis is better so shove it, the slower surface will help maria because she runs as fast as a sumo wrestler with shackles, so i think she will lose.


On a more serious note: Fuck off.

If u watched their 2 previous match in tokyo and dubai, u can see 2 different hingis.

Funny, because we can see 2 different Maria in those two matches as well :lol:

Good luck Maria!

yeah we can, and obviously you can too ryan and this is what worries you well no need to take it out on me! and im not a moron, and you shove it cause martina is not better than sharapova they are from two different generations! if maria was playing when martina won those slams maria would have won them all! has martina won a slam this century? i dont think so she has adjusted well, but when maria plays 100% higis doesnt stand a chance. hingis cant play at the level maria plays at so at tokyo she brough maria down to her level which in turn confused maria, but maria figured out how to beat her, and she will again tinight. and the winner of this match tonight well call the better player well just have to wait and see but im pretty confident!

Martina has barely played this century and has made 3 Grand Slam Finals this century :rolleyes:

hingis in 3. shes on a roll after beating davenport

maria in 2, shes too good for martina at the mo.

Whoever wins the first set 6-3 :p

*bump* :p

Sharapova seems to be getting tired, the momentum is in Hingis favor now but right now Sharapova is getting a rest. I am quite upset at this...this is really ruining the momentum.

maria is on injury time out, whats wrong?

With Maria smacking all her opponents so far.... :drive:
and Hingis palying nothing so far.... :yawn:
I would say Masha will rip her ass again :banana:
:bounce:

and all in the same day too ;) :lol:
mark my words, Maria in 2...
my turn to gloat ;)

maria is on injury time out, whats wrong?

Blisters on her instep. They showed them on TV.


Maria!!!!:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

I'd actually prefer some more votes for Maria... this board is awful as a whole when it comes to predicting! [A la Lindsay and Amelie's losses].

Do that few people believe in the "golden girl". Well.. perhaps disillusionment is almost complete :p


Whaaaaaaaaaaaat? Absolute nonsense.

If Martina can maintain focus, and keep it varied.... we may even have bagels on the menu.

*I'm tired now*

:lol: :haha:

Whaaaaaaaaaaaat? Absolute nonsense.

what were you saying there marshmellow?.............................

Have to bump this for Marshmallow the clown :devil:

and hingis has 5 slams to maria's 1 so hingis is better so shove it, the slower surface will help maria because she runs as fast as a sumo wrestler with shackles, so i think she will lose.

yeah and is hingis still the better player now?no and i told you this even martina said there was nothing much i could do out there, all i could improve on was my stamina! so you face it maria outclassed her!

Have to bump this for Marshmallow the clown :devil:

:haha:....:ras: :ras: :ras: haters!...

funny how maria has always been an "underdog" in the polls on these boards in all her matches against martina so far. actually it's not surprising at all...very predictable...:)

I do so LIKE it when people underestimate Maria. :D

where marshmellow now? :o
