Martina Hingis Biography!

Martina Hingis was born September 30, 1980 in Kosice, Czechoslovakia, is a former top-ranked Swiss tennis player. She has won five Grand Slam singles titles in three Australian Open, one Wimbledon, and one US Open. She has also won nine Grand Slam women's doubles titles, including holding all these for a calendar Grand Slam in 1998. She set a series of "youngest-ever" records before ligament injuries in both of her ankles forced her to withdraw from professional tennis at the relatively young age of 22.

On November 29, 2005, after several surgeries and long recuperations, the 25-year-old Hingis announced that she would return to the WTA tour, starting her professional comeback at a low-key tournament in Gold Coast, Australia on January 2006. Six months into her comeback, Hingis has climbed to the number 15 spot in the world rankings, and is currently dating fellow tennis player Radek Stepanek.
