Early exit for Hingis
09/01/2006 - 09:59:02Martina Hingis’ latest comeback event saw her crash out in the first round, although she was up against former world number one Justine Henin-Hardenne at the Medibank International in Sydney.
Hingis, who reached the semi-finals at the Mondial Australian Women’s Hardcourts last week, was beaten in straight sets, 6-3 6-3, by the Belgian.
Henin-Hardenne is on the comeback trail herself, having been out since October with a leg injury.
After Hingis lost her opening service game Henin-Hardenne took control and put the Swiss star under pressure every time she served with her powerful groundstrokes.
