- Martina Hingis vs Venus Williams 1998 Roland Garros Quarterfinal Highlights. I already have HL's of this match uploaded in a fairly good quality but decided to post again as the quality is even a bit better than the other one.
Hingis had probably the highest tennis IQ in history. What she lacked in power, she more than made up for in the quality of her shot-making. Also, she had such great timing and saw the ball with laser-like focus.
Amen
I agree, had she been able to add little more power to her groundstrokes, specifically her forehand and serve, she could've been the best female player ever.
That’s all true, it’s really too bad she lacked upper body strength because her forehand really sat up to be attacked (if only she could have flattened it out and hit through it instead of using a fairly weak topspin) and also put some juice on her serve, she’d be top 3-4 instead of relegated towards the 8-12th best player all-time so far.
Oh how I loved watching Martina Hingis. Genius.
Hingis is obviously physically outmatched here. But tennis is more than physical. She had quick reflexes, good movement, good variety as well. She definitely maximized her talents. Of course Venus was a physical specimen the likes of women's tennis had not seen in it's 100 years or so. Incredible power, movement, reach, etc. Two amazing players.
Thank you for uploading this match. Quality of the video is superb! Both of them 17 at the time. Great rivalry 🎾 Martina's movement and backhand was exceptional! As were the winners coming outta Venus's racquet.
This should have been the finals.
Technical player vs power player.... I will take the technical player any day! Loved Hingis back in the day!
well Venus is also technical player but her power feature is more stand-out..
Lou C Hingis is boring asf. Slow ass player
Williams has/had better technik than Hingis!
@@thebigmonstaandy6644sorry but what a stupid comment!!!
@@arathgomez615 are you crazy? Hingis' game was so such a delight!!!!
Venus was still so gangly and inexperienced back then. She had immense power and athleticism but didn't yet know how to harness and coordinate it.
Hingis's ability to redirect the ball and open up the court was sensational.
Sound is so superbly clear that you can hear the beads on Venus' hair rubbing each other. On the other hand, neither Venus nor Hingis won any French open. This is the only slam missing on their resume.
Venus didn't win the Australian Open, either.
This was when the French were still a classy, civilised audience. a year later they turned into rabid, foaming at the mouth interveners in the match.
They had always been rude. They booed both Mary Pierce (1996) and Henri Leconte (1988) when they failed to live up to their expectations.
Lmao you can hear Venus' beads
Lol. So that was what does sound was
I can clearly hear the shuffling of Venus beads.
What a shame, tennis changed forever with the Williams sisters, a change i did not like.
Gone was grace and timing and placement, on came power, power and more power.
I suppose like everything tennis had to evolve.
Martine was my favourite because she utilised will and brain power with patience and structured a point to win.
But that change had already taken place on the men’s tour. Guys like Muster, Agassi, Kafelnikov and Sampras were not playing soft either. Surfaces even ended up being slowed down by the early 2000s because of crazy serves and power.
Can definitely see how the williamses changed the game. Venus' game here is how 98% of the wta play today. Higis style is relegated to a only a few. The quirky ones like hsieh or radwanska
Seles was actually the first powerplayer who could hit hard off both sides.Graf never hit any winners with her backhand.
Jeffrey Kaufmann and sisters learnt from idolizing Monica!
thats why its so boring..
@@aycaramba6225 exactly. ball bashers...devoid of creativity. volleys of novotna and navratilova. At least stefii set up her forehand with the slice
@Dom Dom all power all the time..YAWN
Martina excellent opponent to any player
Biy they did not like each other back then..women tennis golden area 1994-2010. I miss those days.
You didn't think that the prestabbing of Seles when she was starting to dominate Graf was part of the golden age?

Hello j adore la regarder jouer
Et la voir battre les Williams encore plus !
Ca me fait rire
Cette férocité impuissante devant l extrême talent
De Martina -
Sauf que les sœurs Williams ont aussi énormément de talent, pas seulement de la puissance et des capacités athlétiques. Il aurait fallu regarder quelques uns de leurs matches aussi. Tu me fais rire 🤣 et Hingis avait un temps d’avance en carrière, expérience etc puisqu’elle s’est réellement lancée sur le circuit pro en 1994 alors que Vénus a attendu 1997. Tout de même ... !
This Martina Hingis and Venus Williams would beat the current wta top 20 at least 6-1 6-3 with Hingis weak serve and with Venus just spinning in second serves.
Hingis didn't have a weak serve, but usually chose to play it safe. But she could crack fast flat aces whenever she wanted to.
So incredible!!
I've never seen someone wear the same outfit in three consecutive Grand Slams
Do you have footage of Davenport vs Majoli from this broadcast? It was going on at the same time and I remember NBC showing a few minutes of their match
She may not have had the power of the Williams sisters, but she was more intelligent.
I always like to watch the pretty women play. Martini is also so talented and feminine
Don't do anything on that computer while digitizing the video stream, otherwise movement footage is really really choppy. You can see the individual frames once the play begins the players move to the ball.
Please upload Venus vs Jana Novotna Wimbledon Quarter Final also Novotna Hingis Wimbledon Semi Final 1998
I thought Hingis hit with more power from both sides, in years of 1997, 1998 than later years!
Why she hit with less and less power from 1999... ?
Bcoz she changed the racquet or she didnt see the coming power tennis age??
She and her mother should have known this, to develop a more strong forehand...
I guess they expected power tennis to remain limited and with high unforced errors (like Pierce in the late 90s). But new racket tech gave more control while preserving power. The most successful players against Hingis (the Williams sisters, Davenport) all managed to overpower Martina and kill her percentage tennis strategy. In fairness, she didn’t lose to many other players in the early 2000s.
The noise coming from Venus beads is hella annoying….
A nice match!
hingis is like a wall! keeps on coming back! lol
It must have been so frustating and exhausting to play her.
a thinking wall :)
MArtina Hingis is so Pretty …. every Victory against the Williams Sisters is such a joy
Living in the pass. SMH
unfortunately she didnt have enough of them and had to retire.
sorry she's weaker than Williams's
@@justtennispoints9764 She has the advantage against Venus H2H. Sorry, try again.
dinh how many match won and lose did Hingis has thoughout her career.. compared to Vee..and how many GSlam final she had reach.. compared to venus
remimbir win Veetis was the bess? Then Sereefa taked ovir
Ne günlerdi be
I think Venus has made some errors during her whole career. One of these errors is that she keeps hitting the ball back at her opponent. She really should have hired a coach, besides Richard and her hitting partner. Too many short balls. Looks like the strategy was just getting the ball back in court.
rayncar You literally sound so fucking stupid, you take your ass out there and play with Queen V and see if can keep up with her “too many short balls”
rayncar At first i don't agree with you..but i think you're right for some reasons
Just getting the ball back in court?this is a joke!or?
Boo
Martinas a babe
Venus a half dead here LOL
Who tells these black girls a mop of beads will look fabulous?
So many technical problems with Venus's game
7 grand slam singles and 14 grand slam doubles titles and 4 Olympic gold medals plus various runner up singles slams finals
@Devon Hawkins-Anderson Her 2nd serve was ridiculously weak. Her point of contact on the forehand was all over the place. Which is why it broke down under pressure. Her service motion all together was very herky jerky even though it was big it wasn't consistent enough of a weapon.
@@anthonyyusef5897 Yup! And it’s surprising how she made that far in her career with so much weaknesses. It was stressful to watch her play tights matches,wow...
She was young here and she improved her techniques throughout her whole career.
@@anthonyyusef5897 Which is why Hingis always targeted Venus's FH especially.
Hingis Hingis Hingis
I actually think this was a match that Serena could have won if it had been her playing.
Serena was too young in 1998 to be consistent I think
