Hingis set for Sydney comeback

Former world number one tennis player Martina Hingis looks set to make her
much hyped return to the sport at January's International event in Sydney.

She made a one-off comeback to the WTA Tour last February, losing in three
sets to Germany's Marlene Weingartner in the first round of the Thailand Open.

But Hingis' return to the professional tennis circuit is imminent, and she is
seriously considering the Sydney International as her comeback tournament.

Sydney International tournament director Craig Watson has confirmed the Swiss
player's management has expressed interest in competing in Sydney.

Watson admits that he would definitely offer Hingis a wildcard for the
tournament if that is when she wished to make her comeback.

Hingis won 76 singles and doubles titles including 14 Grand Slam titles. She
was the youngest player to ever rank number one in the world and one of only
five women players to have been ranked atop singles and doubles at the same
time.

Hingis ranks third on the all- time career prize money list, behind Steffi
Graf and Martina Navratilova.

The 25-year-old retired initially in October 2002 because of heel, foot and
ankle injuries and has gone through several surgical procedures.
