Why are you so sceptical? The women who are on the top of the game at the moment are mostly over 21. Serena, who’s no.1 is one of the oldest out there. Also the comeback queens had their 21st a long time ago. Time hasn’t taken away anything of their skill. I actually think they are fitter than some of the younger players on the tour who are more into being tennis “babes” than real competitors.

I agree with LK28 Martina’s chance has passed. She doesn’t seem to have the will power nor the hunger for a comeback. Even if she were to try she would be discouraged. There many 19-22 year old girls who hit the ball a ton and do not care who she once was. Therefore the intimidation factor is also gone. It would be almost impossible to reach even the top 10 but her coming back would be good for tennis and i think all us tennis fans would appllaud such a move.

I knew it! If she watched Justine’s impressive run at the AO I think it reignated an old spark. It would be indeed great to have her back. Players like this are needed so much on the tour, there’s too much screaming and ball bashing.

Roger and Martina for Hopman Cup next year!

Seriously though, I’d love to see her back. I’d keep the expectations low, but if Kimiko Date Krumm can do it, why not Hingis?

So you think Roger would play with her ? I wonder how she’ll be received in the tennis community if she does launch a comeback.

Martina struggled with the big hitters when she returned the first time. I don’t think she’d be able to compete near the top of the sport with all of the talented big hitters now on the tour. But it would be fun to see her doing WTT.

it’d be great to have her back but a feeling tells me she won’t do it.
