Hingis done for year; ranking falls out of top 10
October 11, 2002
ZURICH, Switzerland (AP) --
Martina Hingis pulled out of all tournaments for the rest of 2002 Friday,
a day after another early loss pushed her out the top 10 for the first
time in six years.
``At the moment I am not capable of reaching the level that I expect of
myself, and I apologize to the public and my sponsors,'' Hingis said.
Earlier Friday, she pulled out of the Swisscom Challenge, her hometown
tournament. Play starts Monday. Hingis won the event in 2000. Her absence
means Iva Majoli will move into the main draw.
Hingis, formerly ranked No. 1 and a winner of five Grand Slam tournaments,
said she returned to action too soon after an operation on her ankle in May.
Since getting back on court, she has been ``in a downward spiral,'' Hingis
said.
``In order to catch up, I had to train up to five hours a day. So I
neglected the therapy I needed after the operation,'' she said.
She will skip events in Linz, Austria, and Los Angeles. Hingis said it was
too early to say whether she would go to the Australian Open in January.
Hingis lost 6-3, 6-1 loss to Elena Dementieva on Thursday in the second
round of the Porsche Grand Prix at Filderstadt, Germany. That result
means Hingis will drop out of the WTA Tour's top 10 for the first time
since the week of Sept. 30, 1996.
She entered this week ranked 10th.

附上一則昨天晚報的中文報導:
聯合晚報記者潘建國／綜合報導
在經歷最近連串令人失望的戰果之後，22歲的前世界球后辛吉絲
今天宣布不再參加今年剩下的所有比賽，而且對何時重返球場，
守口如瓶。
辛吉絲 5 月時動腳踝手術，直到 8 月才復出，今天突然召開記
者會，宣布這項令人震驚的消息，同時解釋她為何缺席下周開打
的 Swisscom 挑戰賽。
「因為最近在莫斯科、德國的表現，未達自己的期望，我不會再
參加今年任何其他錦標賽，我需要放鬆心情。」辛吉絲說。
也因傷癒復出後，表現未盡理想，下周辛吉絲的世界排名將滑落
到10名外，這是他六年來的第一次。
她在 1996 年溫布頓網球賽與蘇可娃聯手奪得女雙冠軍，打響名
號，並以 15 歲之齡成為全英網球俱樂部最年輕的冠軍。接著她
贏得澳洲網球公開賽女單冠軍，成為一百年來最年輕的大滿貫賽
女單冠軍得主。
然後她在溫布頓、美國網球公開賽，再添桂冠，而且曾連續80 周
高居世界女單排名第一。
但從 1999 年她在法國網公開賽被葛拉芙擊敗後，一切的美好剎那
時變了樣。今年 5月動腳踝手術，8 月復出迄今，辛吉絲一直找不
回昔日的最佳狀態。
