Will Martine Hingis win a grand slam this season on her comeback from injury?

It would be a fantastic achievement if she did, but I think the top players are just too far ahead of her this season. She might have a good chance at the US, but she'll need the draw to open up for her to win at Roland Garros or Wimbledon.

I don't think Sharapova will make it to the top for another year or so.  The competition is pretty tough right now.  I mean, you have Davenport, Clijsters, and Mauresmo, all of which have a lot experience under their belt.  I think Davenport will probably remain at the top.  Although Sharapova is very good, I think she has room to get better as she gets older.  But as of now she still has some learning to do about herself and her opponents.  Also she still has her pectoral injury that she has yet to get over.  We all will just have to wait for her to get to the top once again.

I'd love to see Federer win but Nadal still seems the safest bet. That said, with all the hype surrounding the clay-court winning streak, it almost seems like he could be riding for a fall. It often happens that way in sports. When someone is seen as so much of an invincible favorite going into a championship, that's when an upset or an injury or some other kind of misfortune occurs. Look at the New York Yankees. In 2000 they won the World Series over the Mets (the famous "Subway Series"). The next year they go out as HEAVY favorites over the Diamondbacks and...LOSE! So yes, stranger things have happened.\nAs far as my favorite of the two. Federer, hands down. Such all-round dominance over the past 3 years, 7 Slams without losing in a final, the best game to watch by a long way. He mixes offense and defense, and can hit every coceivable shot.\nFavorite of all-time. I guess, Sampras. When you look at what he did for most of a decade against a particularly strong top ten. The amount of classic matches. He's a natural pick. \nFederer looks like he could reach that level, but he's still got a lot of winning to do first

i think she definitely can,but it"s all up to her.\nHer talent and come-back strength has never been in doubt,however if she is hungry enough to be called the greatest the sport has everknown. dont rule her out.\nremember when pundits used to doubt whether the Williams sister's had it them?well the rest is history...dont jump into the moldy books of history.

Its going to be a tough competition between Nadal n Federer. But looking at the superb form of Nadal, I think Nadal might pull off his 2nd Grand SLam title too considering Federer has never gone past the Quarter finals of French Open.

Amare Stoudemire is taking 15 to 18 foot jumpers now, but is still about two weeks from returning to practice.\n\nAfter microfracture knee surgery in October, Stoudemire is looking to return in mid-March. "Things have been going great, but we're winning and there is no reason not to take our time," Stoudemire said. "There's no set date, there's nothing set in stone. But I'm more convinced than ever that I'm going to play ... sometime in March."

Agassi is alive and well. He was injured for a while and was not seen on any courts. He is back healthy and playing in Wimbledon. He will retire after the US Open. Go Andre!!!

Well, I would probably go for Martina Hingis right now. Most female players either are very inconsistent or just dont make the best role-models.

i do miss her, i think the last time i saw her play in t.v. is the U.S Open, though i cannot really remember. That's a sign that she has been gone for a while now. I hope she comes back because i do believe in her talents and abilities, she is a really good tennis player. It would be good to see her back, with Martina Hingis one of her rivals also in the tour now.

IF she is injured and played.  It could screw up her whole year.  She has to do what is best for her overall health.  It is a drag and drain on your body the tennis season.  She may want to just shut it down and start up at the Australian.  She will be number one in the world someday soon.  Just to much talent.

i dont think she'll be able to make it with all the new and young talent (Sharapova, Henin- Hardine, etc.) but u never know it could happen!

That is correct. Most top singles players will not be playing singles in Melbourne. However Martina Hingis has had 3 years away from tennis so she was as much practice as possible. Also her body does not have any wear and tear on it from the 2005 tennis season because she did not play it.\n\nYou will find that more top players will play mixed or doubles at Wimbledon due to grass byt nature the points there are fast and short and very quick due to the fast speed at which the ball travels on the grass. Also on grass there are not a lot of tournmanents so players want the extra practice at Wimbledon. I hope I helped.

Justine Henin-Hardenne won the French Open on the women's side against Svetlana Kuznetsova by a score of 6-4, 6-4.\n\nI was actually surprised that Nadal won.  Federer is such a dominating player against everyone else, and it's surprising that he could get beaten 4 times in a row by Nadal.  I guess it shows Nadal's competence on clay and against Federer.  That's one thing Federer needs to work on.

Martin Verkerk has suffered a series of injuries since his great run at the 2003 French Open. He suffered a lost of form in 2004 before his season ended in July after he underwent knee surgery. His 2005 season was against injury plagued. He withdrew from the 2005 French Open after a recurrence of injury. He has yet to play a tournament in 2006 after withdrawing from his hometown ATP tournament in Rotterdam on Febuary 20.
