Martina Hingis

The women's no.1 tennis player(princess of WTA)is Martina Hingis. She has played tennis since the age of three. She also enjoys sports and began skiing,cycling,roller blading and horse riding. She was born on Sep.30 1980 at Kosice,Slovakia.

Her first achievements was winning the first Junior Grand Slam event at French Open in 1993. Martina became the first youngest person ever to win a championship event at Wimbledon. She was only 13 at that time.

Melanie, her mother who was once a former tennis champion coaches Martina on tennis. Martina father is a businessman.

I admire this person because she has carved her name at a young age. She has won many trophies since she is the best tennis lady player in the world. Although she had a shoulder injury in 1998 where she was stabbed on the shoulder by Steffi Graf's fan during match, she managed to overcome her injury to continue playing tennis.
