MARTINA HINGIS (1) VS. SANDRINE TESTUD (11)
A cakewalk in the park for mighty mouse Martina, who has never lost to Testud in 11 contests. Sure, the Frenchwoman can belt the ball and is always game, but she's not a smart enough player or nimble enough mover to give Hingis a headache. Hingis in straight sets.

Martina, Lindsay and Serena Advance
No. 1 Martina Hingis finished a match begun last night, completing a rain-delayed 6-2, 6-1 whitewash of No. 11 Sandrine Testud.
One of the Williams' sisters chief challengers is Hingis, who continued her merry romp through the field, imitating a human backboard again the wild Testud, who committed 44 unforced errors. Hingis will next face Monica Seles, her girlhood idol, whom
she has owned. Hingis first met Seles when she was 10 and Seles was a dominant player. Now, it is the Swiss Miss who is the star.
"I never thought I would play her," Hingis said. "That was too far away. I probably thought she's not going to be around anymore when I'm on tour. She's a great competitor but I always beat her. But you never know. She never gives up. That's why I always play her so well, because I know I have to come up with a great shot and be at 100 percent when I play her. Because if you're not, forget it."

Busy Day for Hingis
She's the No. 1 player on the women's tour, but today she had someone with her all day.
Martina Hingis was on the outer courts for two matches today  -- both doubles matches. Hingis teamed with Mary Pierce for an exciting comeback win early in the afternoon in a Grounds Pass holders' dream.
The match was a first rounder, pitting Hingis and Pierce against Clare Curran and Amy Jesen. After dropping the first set 4-6, Hingis and Pierce found their rhythm. The No. 3 seeds won the next two sets 6-0, 6-1.
After a wait of two hours, the Swiss Miss headed back out with Jan-Michael Gambill to play in the first round of the Mixed Doubles championship. This time, there would be no first-set slip-up, as Hingis and Gambill rolled to a 6-2, 6-3 win.
Two matches. Two wins. One very busy day for the top singles player in the world.
