YES..BUT THE TOURNAMENT SHOULD BE CONDUCTED IN HYDERABAD, AND ONLY 3 OTHER INDIAN PLAYERS ALLOWED TO PLAY. IN TENNIS, "SEED" MEANS ONE PLAYER'S CHANCE OF VICTORY. IF YOU ARE ASKING ABOUT NO.1 RANKING, MY ANSWER IS A BIG 'NEVER'.

tennis  \n1345, most likely from Anglo-Fr. tenetz "hold! receive! take!," from O.Fr. tenez, imperative of tenir "to hold, receive, take," which was used as a call from the server to his opponent. The original version of the game (a favorite sport of medieval Fr. knights) was played by striking the ball with the palm of the hand, and in O.Fr. was called la paulme, lit. "the palm," but to an onlooker the service cry would naturally seem to identify the game. The use of the word for the modern game is from 1874, short for lawn tennis, which originally was called sphairistike (1873), from Gk. sphairistike (tekhne) "(skill) in playing at ball," from the root of sphere. It was invented, and named, by Maj. Walter C. Wingfield and first played at a garden party in Wales, inspired by the popularity of badminton. \n"The name 'sphairistike,' however, was impossible (if only because people would pronounce it as a word of three syllables to rhyme with 'pike') and it was soon rechristened." ["Times" of London, June 10, 1927]

you mean who is martina hingis? or where is she right now?\n\nMartina Hingis (b. September 30, 1980, in Košice, Czechoslovakia) is a former World No. 1 woman tennis player from Switzerland. During her career, she won five Grand Slam singles titles (three Australian Open, one Wimbledon, and one US Open). She also won nine Grand Slam women's doubles titles, and captured all four of the Grand Slam women's doubles crowns in 1998. She set a series of "youngest-ever" records; however, in the end injuries ended her playing career at the relatively young age of 22. On November 29, 2005, at the age of 25, Hingis announced that she would return to the WTA tour after a four-year absence, and made her professional comeback on January 2, 2006 at a low-key tournament in Gold Coast, Australia.

For men, you'd have to say Pete Sampras.  He won Wimbledon 7 times, against relatively tough competition.  For clay, I'd probably pick Borg who won the French Open six times.  Although I'd believe a modern player like Nadal would beat Borg, that has as much to do with modern equipment as anything.  For hard courts, I'll pick Ivan Lendl.  Lendl had perhaps the worst win record of anyone of his talent, but he reached the U.S. Open final from 1982-1989, which is 8 consecutive years in a row, and he won it 3 years in a row.  Had Lendl been just a little tougher mentally, he would be considered the best player ever.\n\nFor doubles, hmm, I'll go with the classic of John McEnroe and Peter Fleming, although there were many very talented doubles teams.  Its popularity has fallen due to a lack of a top singles player.\n\nFor women on grass, I'll pick Martina Navratilova. I know. She won Wimbledon 9 times, and she was a finalist 3 more times.  That's a lot of times to reach the finals.  Steffi Graf won 7 times as a baseliner, but I prefer to see a serve and volleyer on grass, especially considering how few women play this style of tennis anymore.  On clay, Chris Evert was the queen of clay, winning the French Open 7 times and reaching the finals twice more.  Women's hard courts is a close call.  Martina won the US Open on hard court 4 times, but was finalist 4 more times.  Steffi Graf won it 5 times, and was finalist 3 more times.  I'll give the edge to Graf. \n\nFor women's doubles, I'd pick Martina Navratilova and Pam Shriver.  They're the only doubles player to win the Grand Slam.  They won 109 matches in a row, a record.\n\nIf you had to pick mixed doubles, you'd have to pick Margaret Court who won a mixed Grand Slam in 1963 with Ken Fletcher, then again in 1965, with three different partners (John Newcombe, Ken Fletcher, Fred Stolle).

Andre Agassi\n\nIn two decades of tennis, U.S. player Andre Agassi went from being the young rebel with glam-rock hair to the grand "old man" with a head as smooth as a clay court -- and one of the greatest players in the game's history. He began playing professionally in 1986, and by 1988 had won more than $2 million in prize money. Throughout the 1990s, men's tennis was dominated by the back-and-forth rivalry of Agassi and Pete Sampras. In his career Agassi has won more than 850 singles matches, including 60 titles, 8 Grand Slams and an Olympic Gold Medal (Atlanta, 1996). Even after 20 years of playing, Agassi ranks in the top ten in men's tennis, and in 2005 made it to the finals of the U.S. Open (he lost to Roger Federer). One of the top earners in tennis, Agassi's flair for style and celebrity has also earned him a spot as one of the top earners in endorsements.\n\nAgassi was married to actress Brooke Shields from 1997-99... He married tennis great Steffi Graf in 2001, and they have two children... Agassi's sister was married to tennis pro Pancho Gonzales... Agassi's father, Emmanuel "Mike" Agassi, was an Olympic boxer for Iran in 1948 and 1952 before emigrating to Chicago.

Get yourself a ranking/rating within your country and play tournaments. As you work your way up the rankings, you will get the opportunity to participate in bigger tournaments and eventually, as soon as you have at least one ATP or WTA point (obviously depending on whether you're a guy or gal), you will then officially have turned professional and can continue climbing up the world rankings in internationally sanctioned tournaments anywhere.
