If she didn't win it, im sure she would have nicked it anyway...

 

[Lethal]

[McCartney5]

Stick that up your Clijsters Hingis!!!

 

[Bulldog1954]

Very good to see, can't stand Hingis

And what a way to lose up 4-0 in the second set, blowing 4 match points then getting whipped

 

[mrboy]

you gotta feel sorry for hingis.

i hate any americans who win.


so arrogant

 

[Anton Grbac]

I hate tennis.

where's wally?

 

[Thrawn]

A shame, hey?

Damn! I tipped Hingis! Poor Martina She had four chances to win the match, but nerves got to her, and that, cost her dearly. Well done on Jen though, she never gave up, and I respect that in a tennis player. Shame about Hingis though, I really wanted to see her win.

Her 6th final in a row, worked so hard, and lost to the same person like last year. A real shame.

Great final. Three setter, tough conditions, a great comeback, and two spunks in the final as a bonus.

I hate Capriati. I don't mind Hingis, but I didn't want Capriati to win. Bloody hell Adrian.

To each their own Macster - you stick with your Barbie dolls.

 

[McCartney5]

Yes thats right to each his own Danny Chook - when your standards are that low, it can't be all that bad

 

[millane42]

Thanx a lot Jen. For coming from no where when all was lost, for fighting and scrapping so hard, u lost me $140. As if that's not bad enough, I had done all these multi bets with Martina in them and would have collected $2000!!!!!!!!!!

Today is a devastating day...

 

[PowerGirl36]

Wow, that was a good comeback by Capriati being 4-6 0-4 down. I wasn't really going for either one as I like both players, I just wanted to see a good competitive womens match! Good game!

 

[The_Flying_Egg]

Im glad she won. I don't mind Capriati, coz she's one of the only woman that can beat the women I hate (Hingis and Williams)

And her fathers a pretty funky fellow. I loved his hat today.

I agree with you DCFC. Jen has been my favourite since she burst onto the scene 11 years ago. The last 12 months has been a dream come true. I did feel sorry for Hingis though losing in that manner but since Capriati did it, all is well.

WOO HOO! GO JEN!!!! i tipped her to win the womans and Tommy Haas to win the men singles. I got one out of 2.

 

[DEES RULE!]

Well Jen is one of my faves, second only to Devenport who didn't play!
I'm really glad she won, Hingis pisses me off!

 

[blues^rock]

Amazing game, Hingis jumped out early and Capriati looked too nervous and conservative. Hingis got to 5-1 with a double break and Capriati broke back twice to get to 4-5 but lost her serve again to lose the set. Hingis again got a double break for 4-0 in the second set though I always thought that Capriati could break back at any time and go on with it because she looked more dangerous if she played her natural game. Jen broke back twice again to be on serve at 3-4 but lost her serve as she did in the first set to be down 3-5. She broke back after Hingis had the first of her match points at 40-30 and Jen had forced it to deuce after a gutsy backhand close to the line. They both held serve until the tiebreak. Jen went out to 3-1 and then Hingis came back. Jen had a set point and Martina had 3 more match points but Capriati kept coming up with the goods on match point. Both players were exhausted and leaning on barricades and sitting down between points. Funnily enough, Hingis looked far weaker going in to the third set and it looked like Capriati would run away with it but Hingis got the first break of serve and Capriati peeled off 5 games in a row to win it. By the end, Hingis looked to have given up almost.

Well done to Capriati to win back to back Australian Opens After coming from all that way behind.

A great effort

Go Capriati

Now for Safin to win the mens single final

I was a bit sad that Hingis lost, she played faultless tennis up until 4-0 in the second set. She should of won the championship with one of her four match points, still both were struggling with the weather and Jennifer came up trumps. Womens tennis won at the end of the day

A well worn cliche but it is true. The last few rounds of the women's draw were filled with fantastic games. Seles v Williams, Seles v Hingis, Capriati v Klijsters and then Capriati v Hingis. Each were filled with breathtaking rallies which is more than you can say for some of the wham bam thank you ma'am Men's matches. Though this year the men's matches have been equally absorbing. Certainly makes a mockery of Marcelo Rios' criticism of women's tennis.

actually it kinda proves him right... he said that the top women were so much better than the bottom women that u have to wait til te quarter finals before you get a good game...
