Martina Hingis Defeats Camille Pin in Pacific Life Open

by Ingrid Diaz on March 13th, 2006

Three years later, Martina Hingis returns to the U.S. courts and has since defeated France’s Camille Pin 6-1, 6-3 in the second round of the Pacific Life Open.

“It’s great,” said Hingis, who won the title in 1998. “Wherever I go, people are very welcoming and friendly.”

Putting on a impressive all-court display, the 25-year-old Hingis showed the same stellar form that once brought her the world number one ranking and five grand slam titles.

“Maybe I have this little underdog thing now, not being out there for three years and coming back,” Hingis said. “You’ve seen that in the past with some other athletes and it’s nice to feel the same way.”

Hingis will now face Austria’s Sybille Bammer, who upset number 15 seed Jelena Jankovic 7-5 6-4.
