Thanks For The Stat!
Good To See Martina On The Top!

 

[AnnaK_4ever]

Venus Williams is the only one who's defended two different GS titles.
Martina Hingis is the only one who's defended two different Tier I titles.
Venus and Amelie Mauresmo are the only active players who have won two different tournaments three (or more) consecutive times each.

 

[Max565]

Great job thanks !

Good job Venus, Kim and Martina !

 

[starin]

wow venus has defended the most # of titles and the most different titles. Too bad that was in the early 2000's....I want the old Venus back.

 

[southpaw58]

Thanks

I think Vee should go back to New Haven!

 

[lecciones]

Great post AnnaK_4ever!!! Great to see martina Hingis defend her big titles.

In doubles Martina defended

Australian Open 1997-1998-1999
WTA Championships 1999-2000
Zurich (TI) 1996-1997

Funny thing looking through her doubles record, She has won all GS, Championship and Tier I except Berlin, and a handful (13) of TII: Sydney, Paris, Stanford, Philadelphia, Filderstadt, Los Angeles, Eastbourne.
