Hingis seems to be making up for lost time in the smack-talk department:
"One thing I realize is that some of the girls, they do have respect (for me) and when I see them I have to take advantage of it," Hingis said after the win, failing to touch on the respect (or lack of) she might receive from top players in the coming months. "Maybe that's one of the reasons and the other is they don't know me. They haven't seen me around for three years and they don't know what to expect."
Up next for the former No. 1-ranked Swiss is another creampuff in Spain's Nuria Llagostera Vives, who the Swiss has never faced.
"I know she's a little girl so she's not going to overpower me," Hingis said of Llagostera Vives. "I don't think she really has a big weapon but neither does she have a weakness."
=====================================
Martina Hingis on Maria Sharapova: "It's always been, 'I wonder what she's got, Sharapova?' because I don't see that she's got something that special. Her serve is great, her groundstrokes, but I can't tell until I play her what makes her so exceptional. Or do you know? Can you tell? What's so exceptional about her?"
