    I used to hit with Martina and other pros at Hopman/Saddlebrook Resort back in 1998-2001. I see a lot of conjecture and guesses on her. She was wearing her body down from extreme training well before she was at the top when she was 16. She experienced normal life and she needed it. The constant grind got to her. She wanted to go enjoy life. That comeback was just to show she could do it. She never put in the grind that she did pre-2002. Her last comeback was about enjoying the sport.

    She did retire because of foot issues. If I am not. mistaken she was even going to sue her shoe manufacturer for destroying her foot. Also while she had a good all around game, she started losing to the Williams` power game. She would serve and watch the ball zip back past her. Or be unable to return their serve. The crowd in that French open final against Graf was especially hard on her. She was in a good position but broke down with the constant boos from the crowd. A testament to how a player like Djokovic manages to ignore such boos and still play well. She was great to watch as she won on being smart and outplaying the opposition.

Also she could not equal the 24 Slams won by Margaret Court (previously Smith), still the most Slams won by either women or men. Of course, winning the most Slams does not make you the best but it was a big goal of Serena's and she failed to achieve it. I don't think Graf cared about that.

    Not to mention that she was one of the most beautiful young women in tennis or in any sport! Also, in 1999 it wasn't losing to Steffi that brought her to tears but the cruel hostility of the crowd that acted like a pack of animals. To behave as they did towards a young woman was a disgrace. The French crowd in particular are known by their cowardly conduct. They had to be rescued in two world wars, so they continue to pick on young women to this day. Perhaps it makes them feel tough?

      Martina was steamrolling-- up 1st set and leading 4-1 in the 2nd. A shot was called against her, and in protest, she walked over to Steffi's side of the court to point out the mark--which is against the rules. She was defiant and bratty, while Graff remained typically stoic. The crowd showed their displeasure for her, as they applauded and demonstrated support for Steffi, Martina's lead dissipated as she lost focus, and her opponent rallied back from behind to win. It would have been Hingis's 1st an only French Open Title, but the undoing was entirely her fault. She left the court and fell sobbing uncontrollably into her Mother's arms who she unceremoniously fired as her coach.

    Unfortunately, the commentary regarding the first retirement is wrong. Hingis was very good at a young age and got used to be number 1. Then in the late 90's two new stars her age appeared but starting years later than Hingis. First she was winning with them, then they started overpowering and beating her. They were named Venus and Serena Williams. Hingis could not reconcile herself with losing, so she retired, when she was still 10:9 with Venus (0:1 in 2002) and only 6:7 with Serena (0:3 in 2002). The official explanation was of course different. But retiring at mature age of 22 was quite unusual.
