Martina Hingis Finals - Family Circle Magazine Cup 1997 SEMIFINAL (English - NBC Sports)

Hello Martina fans! This time I've prepared a rare gem, something I was not supposed to provide - a semifinal! It's not the only match which is not final but also it looks smooth and great - quality here is outstanding! Ofcourse, we're talking about VHS...NBC Sports did the best footage so far, with commentary, background and heli air shoot - yes, there were no drones in 90's! Despite of quality, notice the hard resistance of Brenda Schultz-McCarthy. The Dutch lady forced Martina into three sets, finally match won by our Swiss Magic Martina 5:7 6:3 6:2. This was another little step for Martina, which makes 1997 the best year of her career.
Thank You guys for watching and giving nice feedback, I'll keep uploading matches in 2024. And special greetings to my supervisor who became a subscriber, thank You!

Hi there! Since early 90's I became a fan of Swiss Miss or Magic Martina - the One and Only Martina Hingis! Her charm, finesse and pure genius on court turns me into addict of tennis. Martina with her open, engaging and innocent smile together with her lethal backhand down the line turns my life onto new, different tracks. I was recording final matches with Martina on VHS since 1997 AO and then realize that time is running so fast and could be fatal to my records. So I've decided to backup all my records on digital media and share'em to all who could be interested. Thanks for watching and stay tuned for another release!

VHS archiving done by me, Hornet - a modest fan of Martina and commodore C-64 from Poland. Tapes were recorded using Philips recorder, VHS envelope done with DTP software PrintFox and Geos on C64 with help from Seikosha needle printer
Digital transfer and quality retouch was given by good friend of mine, Paweł Ruczko also from Poland. I highly recommend his powers with data transfer VHS----digital media. You could ask him for help on serwis.riversedge.pl/przegryw... Mainly for polish users but You can try to convince him otherwise...
Stay tuned for another release!
