Martina Hingis was Sergio Garcia’s girlfriend. Martina and Sergio met at the 2002 Australian Open and broke up in 2003.
It’s easy to forget now, but once upon a time Martina was the golden child of women’s tennis.
In 1997, Martina became the youngest player ever to achieve the #1 ranking in the world — she was sixteen years and three months at the time. Everyone loved her, but then she started talking and never shut up.
Her image took a few hits when she made fun of gay players (they’re half men), called being black an advantage, and said that Steffi Graf was old and past her prime — a year before dropping the French Open final to her.
So she took a couple years off before making a comeback in 2005, and just when things were going half-decent, she tested positive for cocaine at Wimbledon and received a 2 year ban from the game.
