Hingis set to make doubles comeback

FORMER world No. 1 Martina Hingis is to make a competitive comeback playing doubles, six years after her second retirement.

The Swiss star, who won five grand slam singles titles and nine in doubles, will play at the Southern California Open in Carlsbad from July 27 to August 4. She will partner Slovak Daniela Hantuchova, with whom she also played doubles in 2007 before her retirement. "I am very much looking forward to making a return to competitive play at the Southern California Open," Hingis said. "I feel in good shape at the moment after playing World Team Tennis. My competitive spirit is still very much alive and I love being out on court."
