Hingis

Hingis is a surname of Swiss origin. It is most notably associated with Martina Hingis (born 1980), a Swiss former professional tennis player who was one of the leading players of the 1990s and early 2000s. Hingis emerged as a prodigy and, at 16, became the youngest player to win a Grand Slam singles title after claiming the Australian Open in 1997. She soon reached the world No. 1 ranking in singles, establishing herself as one of the era's dominant players. Throughout her career, Hingis won six Grand Slam singles titles: Australian Open (1997, 1998), French Open (1997), Wimbledon (1997), and US Open (1997, 1998). She also achieved significant success in doubles, reaching the world No. 1 in doubles and collecting multiple major titles with various partners. Her style was characterized by tactical court sense, shot variety, and excellent placement.

After retiring from full-time play, Hingis remained active in tennis as a commentator, coach, and occasional competitor in doubles events. The Hingis surname is relatively rare outside of public reference to Martina Hingis.
