Hingis sees toughest opposition in Davenport

Tokyo, Feb 5: "We played like 23 times. You don’t see that on the men’s tour that the players play each other as much as we do. We play usually in the finals and we always get there," said Hingis.

"Martina is always trying to get better and throughout our careers we’ve had very tough matches. Some I win, some I lose. It’s very tough to always beat her, because you have to play so well every time," said Davenport.

Hingis, the youngest player in history to become number one at 16 years, six months and one day on March 31, 1997, is constantly trying to improve her game against power hitters.
