Former No. 1 Martina Hingis has ended her season, TENNIS.com has learned. Hingis returned to the WTA in August to play doubles with Daniela Hantuchova, but the pair failed to get out of the second round of any of the five tournaments that they contested.
After her loss to top seeds Sara Errani and Robert Vinci at the U.S. Open, Hingis said that she planned on playing Tokyo and Beijing. The Hall of Famer was listed on Tokyo’s web site as planning to play and then withdrawing for “personal reasons,” but a member of Hingis' camp told TENNIS.com that while both Tokyo and Beijing offered her wild cards, she never accepted them.
Hingis will still travel to Tokyo to take part in the event’s 30th anniversary celebration.
The 32-year-old Hingis—who came back for the second time in her career this season—has yet to decide whether she will compete again next year.
