Hingis running hot in India
FORMER world No.1 Martina Hingis romped to a 6-1 6-2 victory over Hungarys Melinda Czink in the first round of the Kolkata Open yesterday.
The Swiss world No.9, aiming for her second singles title since her return to the game in January, faced a brief fightback early in the second set before prevailing over her 71st-ranked opponent on the slow indoor surface.
Hingis retired in 2002 with foot and ankle injuries and re-established herself among the elite with victory in the Italian Open in May. She is the top seed and faces Israels Tzipora Obziler next.
