- Martina Hingis vs Serena Williams 1998 Miami QF Highlights. Another highlights video made by youtube user SerenaSlam13 who also owns SwissMissHingis and again I have his permission to upload and share this on here since he no longer uploads to CZcams. A couple more to come with this one also ;) Thanks Dave
No doubt about it that Hingis was a brilliant player !
and hated too
@@choclocloclo I loved her.
@@choclocloclo why hated ?
@@choclocloclo Hate Williams and your Mother
Not really. She was pretty easily made obsolete and it was Graph that brought her down with that distater of performance at the French Open that essentially ended her singles career.
so glad this finally posted!!!! I remember watching this match in college. pretty prophetic. a mostly unheralded SW, unseeded, playing the World #1 her first time and in a QF. She 6-1s her in the 2nd, has Hingis throwing her racquet in the 3rd and had 2 match points at 5-3. Inexperience showed up but I'm sure Martina saw the writing on the wall here. Epic match.
Serena had already developed that huge kick on her second serve, which most players struggle to master. It's definitely not all about power :)
Yup saw the kick if she could come to net and clean up with that backhand drive volley
exactly
Hingis was just brilliant, composed and economical.
Pity severe injury put an early end to a Legend
And cocaine!...........
Injury didn't end her career
@@aimandco it did end her career.
Injury didn't end Hingis's career...she got overpowered out of the WTA by the big hitters like Venus, Serena, Capriati, and Davenport. Hingis's footwork was pretty amazing, but her serve was a huge liability. Finesse can only take you so far. If you want to win slams, you better have powerful serves, great footwork, stamina, lethal forehand/backhand and smart defense. Serena has most of these qualities (if not all) while Hingis didn't.
Doing coke did not help!
The best thing Hingis ever did beside winning Wimbledon was growing out that short hair.
Hingis should of beaded her hair too 😜
The Swiss Miss beats Serena, who of course goes on to be the GOAT. Hingis is an underrated player, she did not have the physicality of other top players, just an amazing will to win, a great variety of shots and was very creative on the court. This is a perfect match as Martina was still near her prime and Serena was starting to become the force of nature she developed into.
Hingis benefited from Graf's absence, but her eventual decline began when the power players started refining their games. They basically blew Hingis off the court. Graf did so consistently, too, owning a 9-2 h2h against her.
@@broncoguy4862It's 7-2, but they played only three times after Martina won her first major. Steffi won three of those, but needed all the help she could get from Martina to survive at the French.
Underrated? Really? She's one of the most celebrated actually. 🤣😂
@@fundhund62😂😂😂😂
How young Serena and Martina look here, well 19 years is quite a time lol. Unbelievable match from Martina, rocked the singles in that year and 19 years later she's rocking the doubles.
fabulous Hingis
Such a fun match to watch and great that you included the tension filled moments where there were some errors but the drama makes these errors true "highlights" Great vid! Thanks as always Jamie!
C'mon man, only 5 GS titles???? 99.9% of players go through their entire careers wishing to even compete in a final. I think most players would kill for just 1 GS. Serena went on to become arguably the greatest of all time, but don't discount Martina's contribution to the sport, and she's still playing great doubles with Flavia Pennetta.
Hingis' greatness is what she was able to accomplish at such a YOUNG age!! None of the others can say that, no matter how many they win.
dinh She was something unique when she came along, and I still remember that 1997 year fondly. I always speak about Martina with respect because of her contribution in that era.
She had the most promising career ever. Winning a wimbledon throphy at age 17 is fucking sick. But sadly injuries and drug accusations didn't let her play more. But anyways she is a tennis legend.
The genius, raw talent and mastery of Martina Hingis...hard to fathom. And of all the players in the Open era, these two players, along with Maria Sharapova, showed us the greatest desire, the greatest hunger. This trio, they just really hate losing.
Martina was and will remain streets above the others.
Que gran partido de Martina!! Recuerdo que lo ví en directo 😍 en aquellos años Martina era una máquina. 👏👏👏👏 I love you Martina Hingis 💜!!!!!!!!!! The best of the best
Tati Borges Cocaine!
@@MrTomsimoes Stupid comment
Yes, she was simply the best. She made me take tennis seriously
Martina Hingis todo terreno, nadie le hizo sombra en esa época, simplemente la mejor. Se extraña mucho esa sonrisa en la cancha
pure class, classic match thanks xxx
Martina is the most beautiful number 1 I love her ❤
Two of my favorite players. Hingis had such an interesting, unique game, I always loved to watch her play. She and the Williams sisters had superstar games and personalities and consistently competed in the later rounds of every tournament which is what made the era from 1999-2004 such a strong one, especially compared to today.
agreed. I always refer to the 1997-2001 as the true golden era b/c of the variety of players, games & generations. there wasn't a true dominant player at that time. so it was all a game of matchups and divergent personalities. glad to see the WS truly takeoff in 2002 but it wasn't the same. today's players should thank the bigger paychecks on that era that made the women's tour must-see tv and more popular than the men's.
Ethan Stoops the attitudes is what got everyone's attention. once that happened, people saw just how good the women's game was becoming and that there were true rivalries forming. it was during this time that the women's game was much more popular than the men's.
Yeah, Graf's early retirement, Seles' attack, and Hingis' foot injury really stole what was rounding out as the greatest era in tennis history. Would have been awesome watching Graf and Serena playing Wimbledon finals another 3-5 years. Hingis and Serena at Australia for 10 years would have been incredible. And I thoroughly believe Seles would have passed Evert at the French. I guess every sport has those what if questions but women's tennis sure had an unlucky 10 years from Seles' stabbing through Hingis's debilitating injuries.
Martina Hingis's backhand is so brutal
Yeah it just breaks open the point out of nowhere, wish she used it more and then finish points off.
Bob smith she not great ,serena is why better
Her backhand made serena lose a lot of points. It just surprised me and maybe her that her backhand was capable of winning points, looking effortlessly. Serena is definitely one of the greatest female player of all time and has a great backhand. I wanted to focus on Hingis with the comment though.
Oh my goodness look at Serena, she's just a kid.
So is Hingis 😄
I think they're the same age.
Martina is almost exactly one year older.
Serena is a kid here ?
So funny.
Martina Navratilova in wimbledon 1994 is just a baby according to psycho like you
Serena very 1st Miami tournament was pretty impressive - she almost knocked the #1 player in the world out.
almost
But Hingis beat her
19:05 the security man behind hahaha
LMAO back to you Cliffy - classic Hingis Sass I love it
Una gran y talentosa Hingis su juego pura inteligencia .
Baby Rena making it very hard for the number 1 player at that time .
David da silva ferreira awww, bless her heart... the baby Serena tried very hard against the no. 1 (who, I must point out, behaved quite badly throwing rackets and all...)
Wow! Wow! Wow! No wonder Serena is still the greatest player ever! What a match!!!!
sorry but navratilova and steffi graf are way better !!!!
Hahaha are u crazy? The greatest? Hahahaha
Serena was a rookie. What kept her competitive was her athletic ability. She finally got better when she finally learned to hit the ball from side to side to make her opponent work harder.
Serena played brilliantly!!! Especially as she was a rookie❤.
Hingis was far from being a veteran player. She was 18 years old her. Serena was 17 years old.
You are sooo correct. Then Patrick improved her technique, and then her athletic ability started to wane because she relied on her serve and strokes.
Ignoring the pregnancy, she never really tried to get super fit and muscular again after 2016; she didn't have to, because she was so skilled.
But then she got TOO slow.
You need muscle to be explosive.
This was a good match but do you you have their match in lipton in 1999
That was great win .Serena dident like losing there very short handshake
She's so beautiful...my favourite ever
Do you happen to have the 1999 semifinal? I've always wanted to watch the eight straight games where Serena scored 24 winners to 7 unforced
M Hingis most talented female tennis player. M Rios most talented men's player of all time.
Rios hahahahaha ohhh wait ..hahahaha
This is so awesome to see. Poor Hingis only got 5 slams but Serena has 18 in counting.
That Hingis got 5GS during this Graf era tells u much about Seles loss to the game during the time she was stabbed.
Que fantástico partido. Gran triunfo de la hermosa Martina. Inolvidable.
So incredible!!
In these days, Hingis went for more on her serve. She would even hit a few aces per match. Had she continued to improve her service technique, she would have one more majors. Still she played very well here. She had variety and at least some power, especially off the backhand.
Hingis is really a great mover and smart player
What a match! I love how hingis was so aggressive with her backhand back then!!
So great to watch .
Remember when it was unusual to see women hitting return winners? Venus and Serena made that normal.
Capriati, Pierce and especially Seles did it earlier.
nick fit Not against 100 mph serves.
Who is hitting them here? Hingis?
Have you ever seen Serena play? If you've watched her play more than a few times, you've seen her hit all kinds of return winners off of all kinds of serves.
Of course her return game is great but not against very powerful serves. She wouldn't easily return her own serves for sure. And the players I mentioned were quite good in that respect too even if Serena is arguably the best one.
Serena always looked to be the more talented one of the sisters. Her game was more technically sound even though back in those days she was more erratic. Her serve was more consistent and unlikely to unravel like Venus' who served harder. Now that serve is regarded as arguably the greatest shot in tennis history.
True. And she had more fight.
She was my favourite player in that era.
I think this was before serena hit her prime.
No shit...lol!
Yes way before her Serena ,killer on a mission taking no prisoners instinct which she lacked obvious in this match with Ms.Hingis letting her off the hook Serena allowed Hingis experience using the noise of the crowd cheering in her favor was enough to take the wind out of Serena’s cruising sail Hingis just staying alive in the match with the breeze pulled the come back off for the win a gift given by Serena for taking prisoners.
Aladdin Smith .........what ?????
The handshakes back then...sooooooo shady. LOL!!! Early on in her career, Serena let a lot of matches get away from her after being in winning positions. When she went on her Serena Slam tear, that's when she became the mental titan we know her to be today. This was a fun match to watch. Two legends.
like the 98 French 4th Rd vs Sanchez Vicario, leading a set & 5-2.
htownhomie06 the one that was most upsetting was when she lost in the U.S. Open third round to spirlea, after trouncing her in the second set 6-0. thankfully, spirlea fell off of the face of the earth shortly afterword
+Jg Talented1 Doesn't Maria Sharapova have 5 too? They consider her a legend.
+Jg Talented1 Martina is already in the hall of fame.
Justin Cartwright Serena sadly is known for that regularly her handshakes aren't as sincere. It's what has surrounded her reputation, I guess to keep competition at bay.
Heyyyy c est avec plaisir que je viens de voir encore la victoire de Martina
En étant mené d'un break par 3 fois dans le dernier set
Et en sauvant une double balle de match contre elle !!!
Ah ce mon parfait dans le tie break à contre pied ...!! Magnifique ! Je regarde toutes les vidéos de Martina Hingis depuis 2 jours et je ne l ai pas vu rater un lob !!
Elle frappe le filet à la fin ...et elle se contente de sourire car elle sait que Serena Williams hurle au moment où elle tire son passing pour la déstabiliser ... Et la forcer à rater! C est degueulasse
Et ça ...ca devrait être sanctionné !!! Même si Dieu me demandait d aimer les Williams je dirais non !!
Et avec quel bonheur non de diuuu
Bravooo Martina
la classe Et le courage
Ne mêlez pas Dieu à votre haine teintée de racisme espèce d'idiot...Et n'oubliez pas! Les Williams n'ont pas besoin de votre amour, gardez le pour votre famille...si vous en avez une
Interesting to see a baby version of Serena Williams here as she hadn't even been a pro for a full year yet at this tournament. Already so close to challenging the top players.
Serena wasn't "so close" in challenging the top players at the time.
She started challenging the top players right off the block on the VERY FIRST main draw she ever qualified for - Serena ranked 304 beat two consecutive top-10 players (no. 7 Mary Pierce and no.4 Monica Seles) on her first main draw.
Wow, that's impressive. And she nearly beat Hingis here too. I guess it was clear from the get-go that she was a force to be reckoned with.
Serena and HIngis were born in roughly the same year and started playing around the same age... Amazing coincidence of fate!
hingis my fvrt
Richard is always cool.
Rather arrogant and very unpleasant
Martina se enfocaba y concentraba en hacer jugadas y las williams en esa epoca se basaban mas a au fuerza fisica lo cual posterior equilibraron ...esa epoca fue lo mejor del tennis : las williams, hingis, coatzer, pierce, graff, kournikova, davenport,capriati, etc
Watching this match shows you Serena was hungry for that #1 spot! The Williams sisters have been hated on for a long time! #GOAT
hahaha
Hingis took an injury time-out at 5-4 in the final set, which is cut out.
Idol for gamesmanship!
Thanks g
Beautiful game ❤️
being a big person is always an advantage in tennis
These were the days when Martina Hingis ruled women's tennis. She was never really the same again after that 1999 French Open final.
That was a tragic game for her tho
Funny, this match is still up, but I can't seem to find the US Open Final that year in 1999 when Serena beat Hingis. Hmmm.... :)
Brad Younger - You've read too much into my observational statement, and have thus said too much. My comment was simply an observation, that's all. I actually own the 1999 US Open Women's Final on DVD, so I was simply wondering why it was no longer available on CZcams for others to see and share.
Brad Younger - Well said. :)
***** - Thank you so much, you're awesome! :)
Probably because you're a single minded fool. Enjoy the game...
Billy Spong - If you read the thread of comments, then you'd know that insults and disrespect are not welcome here. Please cease from such distasteful behavior, or I will report you.
Serena's inexperience showed when holding Hingis on few match-points and when serving for the match - today's Serena would have put the match away without even trying too hard.
This footage simply shows that even tennis Greats had moments of inexperience in their rookie beginning - this is Serena's.
Do any of these matches come in HD
No they're all 640x480. If they were available to be uploaded in HD they would be :)
good Martina Hingis
Such a cold handshake by Serena! Awesome win by Martina! :)
It takes two to have a handshake. I didn't notice Martina's part of the handshake being particularly warm.
@@patty49er I give credit to Martina for at least making eye contact. Can't say the same for Serena.
Serena had no reply for the half volleys sent from Hingis . These half volleys are worth watchable and proved to be the reasons why Hingis won the important and deciding points during very pressure situations
Serena played so beautifully.
Hinges played more beautifully, Serena more powerfully & w more determination. But I prefer the beauty.
@@mckavitt13 Serena most beautiful game ever ...!!!!
uwa forever Nope.
She was still young but Hingis was also a very good player then and more experienced too.
@@brendakabanda2181 Don't blame about age. Hingis only a year older.
Serena can't achieved anything at 14 and 15 years.
Hingis does not get enough credit for how tough of a competitor she was.
Martina had a greatest head to head scores with williams sisters than any players
I love the exquisite shot making and brilliant placement Hingis had, all but lost with the Women's game now - began with the Williams (but to their credit since they did play in the age of strategy, they've played so long, they play more of it than the current crop, save Wozniacki), unfortunately was strengthened by Sharapova, such a boring age of just power hitting, Henin and Clijsters was truly a breath of fresh air... and today well, let's see, there is potential but the temptation to just hit your way through the game has brought dividends to the Williams and its the current status quo.
Depends.
Power and range to finesse and subtilty.
The combination of both is absolutely fascinating.
One is boring without the other.
One cannot deny that the entry into certain hallways takes the blasting down of doors which otherwise would have taken too long to open.
Read between the lines.
Are you kidding me " Back to you Cliffy " Classic Martina Hingis.
Happy weekend
amazing game
Hingis had so consistent ground strokes.
Omg!!!!! This is EPIC!!!!!!!
we love both hingis-williams :-)
Do you have the 99 semis?
;) 1998 Semi's vs Venus czcams.com/video/FRWAg15_mK8/video.html better than nothing lol
Icy handshake. No goat more like meow.
Hingis' demeanor is unsportsmanlike. She has this "take that" attitude when she hits a winner.
Maybe she knew that they were in two different places in their careers. Martina was on her way out; Serena was on her way up.
Has she to apologise for hitting a winner?
Serena's "handshake." LOL
The crowd is so obnoxious. Let the linespeople do their job, and stop interfering by calling "out" during play.
nice handshake !!!
olaraay Serena is the bitch here
Serena, it was known then, confirmed today, she wasn't the most sport tennis player, thing was she was regularly like that, it wasn't a one off thing. Coping mechanism probably? Well gave her the reputation to conquer the tennis world later.
Damn, 1998. I've forgotten how old Serena is.
I have been playing tennis for thirty years. This is the best I've seen.
Wow. You haven’t seen much in 30 years! 😂
♥️ Hingis
What a come back by my most lovable queen Martina ! 🤔🤔🌹🌹🌹🌹💚
beauty and the beast
Geez.. Serena really has cleaned up her technique
technique? you mean raw power, thats why she win (and because the competition retired)
@@stijn4687 If Serena won based on her power don't you think we'd see more muscular women in the wta to match her? That's not the case.
Her serve has gotten better but the foundation of the Mechanics is shown here.
Stijn Slim No. Serena plays completely different now than here. She has excellent technique, not just power.
@@stijn4687 😂😂😂how many slams have you won?
🤔Brings back memories of days gone past.
Hinges is the Swiss Miss and she has heart and soul to compete with all her heart.
💖😎
The handshake hahahaha
That was funny!
Lol. It was pretty funny. We have to remember that they were both very young at the time.
nasty handshake
Typical
It was more like a hand touch. LOL
Serena! Future 8 time champ!
The surgical precision drop shots. The cleverly angled passing shots. The retrieval skils. These are the reasons why Hingis decapitated the competition during that time. Talent-wise, she is the greatest of them all. Her unwillingness to ride the power bandwagon meant she is out of contention during the power era. But that won't take away the fact that she is the most talented tennis player of all time.
Jonathan Catunao ONE of the most talented players of all time (Top 10)...but not THE most talented.
Fred Gonzales *In terms of technique, Henin is much better ;)*
***** I couldn't care less what kind of issues she had! Fact is, she had the best technique ingame and the greatest variety in shots... She may not be as good as Serena, but she sure as hell had the most beautiful tennis and moved really well behind the ball...
***** "Natural" she was extremely insightful and knew how to read the game, but she lacked a lot of power when the game changed with the Williams sisters...
And Martina didn't have that extra step a onehander has, notice how top players who play one handed backhands always have that extra step in the court to create more angles in comparison to a typical two hander...
That was Maria's best match ever, but Maria isn't near the category of Henin or Venus for that matter...
Overrated, overhyped and received easy draws most of the times putting Serena in the other half, who usually has the more difficult players to face! Which reminds me, how was the beatdown Serena gave to Maria in Wimbledon a couple of weeks ago? Didn't it feel good? :)
***** Why do you call that linewomen an asian weasel type?! She was doing her fucking job!
Should she be intimidated because we're talking here about Serena?! There are cameras everywhere, admitted it wasn't very clear wether it was or it wasn't. From my perspective it did look like a foot fault But to say that lineswoman was gunning for her, is just crying wolf!
And Serena was blatantly lying during her interview, and one of her team members gave her a signal to "be quiet" during the interview because they signaled to her that she was in fact lying trough her teeth! "I never make any foot faults in this tournaments and suddenly I get called so many times on it, it's clear...." (sudden silence and looks up to a certain person in her management) and gives a distracted impression and finishes with "whatever, I don't know"... Hmmm....
Regarding Serena being a biological male, I never made such assumptions... I do believe she's classless and can't swallow a loss and never gives credit where credit due. Serena lost because of her own damn fault...
Hingis serve was no joke had perfect placements though not so much on pace the placement on the serve was excellent
hingis was so good back then, these angles, hitting behind serena alot
Wow , 20 years ago Serena already was very good!!!!!
Serena 30 years ago was prob very good lol
Look at the handshake. At least Williams did not spend her time shouting on the court. Much quieter and much more enjoyable.
What's more enjoyable is that Serena has set the standard of Slams in the Open Era.
WTF? Serena grunted her way through the match. Hingis didn't make a sound.
the 2 matches that serena should have won against hingis were this one and the 2001 australian open quarterfinal match, which she was leading in the 3rd set in both match, and this one she had 2 match points.
Hingis won fair and square.
Hingis playing chess while Williams playing checkers
Beautiful Martina,and her Agenda.
That Hingis got 5GS during this Graff era tells u much about Monica Seles loss to the game during the time she was stabbed.
she was a SUPER athlete here!!!
Hingis play the court very well, the Williams Sister hit to many balls direct to the player, Venus is still doing it 2019 Rogers
vince lawrence because changing direction of the ball takes incredible talent-Hingis had it, Clijsters could do it, now Bencic has it. Most players can’t do it and it was certainly not Venus’s forte.
Every time Williams missed a shot she looked at her racquet like it was to blame.
smart player martina
Hingis is a Legend,
lOVE TENNIS Martina. Love tennis Serena and Venus.
I miss Martina!! love her!!
That was a cold handshake from Serena.
I can understand her disappointment. Serena had 2 match points.
his daughters ?
This Match was a sorta of "Pass The Torch"
that hand shake tho lmao
The way Serena and Hingis shook hands is exactly the way they both shook the umpire's hand.
So what is the problem with the handshake?
magnetmac1 Come on. They always shake the umpires hand indifferently. But that was not a regular handshake between players who just finished an awesomely competitive match. That handshake was cold.
