3 out of 4 match points saved were winners or unreturnable shots. Capriati was the risk taker on those match points and Hingis was just waiting for an error.
Capriati always went down swinging no matter what. Everyone loved that about her. She was not afraid to play anyone anywhere.
Jm7804. Yes and no. In this match, definitely yes. Yet in her 3 3rd set tiebreak losses at the us open in the semis, she actually seemed to tighten up. Playing Monica was a tall order in the first but against Henin she let off the gas and let Justine dictate, and against Dementieva who could barely serve 65mph side arm serves she definitely tightened up. She had a lot of talent and was very quick around the court, but I think she could have won far more majors than she did.
I’d like to see a closer look at that last one, that was very close, it may have caught the line. Capriati was clearly still in the point, so not saying that it would have given Hingis the win
Takes balls to do what she did in that tie break.
I don't think anyone would have known at the time that this was an end for both of them. Neither of them reached a grand slam final again.
And that was not because they declined in effort or talent it was because the William sisters took over with their incredible Power. Jennifer won 3 slams after making her comeback which she richly deserved. This time she played to satisfy herself not expectations placed by her family and the press. She was ready here to deal with the adult pressure of competition and wasn’t afraid to lose because she honestly tried from her desire rather than trying to meet the goals others expected of her.
Hingis played just one more Grand Slam, actually. Seems to me that has more to do with her not winning any more [before her retirement], than the Williams sisters 🤣
@@fundhund62not true she played slams until the end of this year 2002 and then played 2006-2007 slam season
@@bryguy0111 I was talking before her retirement, and even said so specifically. She did not play Roland Garos and Wimbledon that year.
Capriati not only reached the RolandGarros final but also won it that year how could u say neither of them reached a grandslam final after this.Hingis actually beat both the Williams sisters back to back to reach the 2002Australian open final but her legs were worn out by Capriati in the final
I still have nightmares about this match!
Always loved Martina and her one of a kind game 💛🎾
Honestly i didnt get into Martina until 2001 . This match was a heartbreaker. I really wanted her to win it.
So hard to watch again
@@alexpiper1115Imagine if she had won this Slam. Her fate going forward might have been different.
Not a huge Capriati fan but I'm glad she had her moment here. She deserved her slams after a hell of a time in her youth. And i do sometimes wonder if she would have been able to challenge the Graf/Seles dominance had she not derailed.
I´m sure she would had been over Graf and Seles. Her game was very consistent and only needed a bit of experience and strategy. It's a pity, I think we could have enjoyed of a next level tennis had she been focused
She managed to deny Graf a second Olympic gold medal, which would've been historic. She made the quarters or better in 9 of the 14 slams she played during her first 4 years on tour. Graf can't even touch that record. She made the quarters or better in 3 of the 13 slams she played in her first 4 years and way worse than that if you include her garbage amateur years. It would be a big zero if you include those. Monica made the quarters or better in 10 of 13 slams played in the first 4 years. Jennifer was on track to be a great player and wheels came off in late 1993. Her and Monica were good friends and the stabbing had a profound effect on a then 17 year old Capriati. Of course it didn't phase Mrs. Parche one bit.
From drugs ?
@@jm7804 graf is over capriati anytime
I remember watching this crazy match in the heat. Glad Jennifer won. Great match from both players. The best generation for sure.
Hingis shouldn’t have been passive and she probably would have won. Scared tennis always comes back to bite you in tight situations. All those shots coming into her backhand which was her better side yet she hit the majority right up the middle with little pace even when she had time to step in and at least take it early to take time away from Jennifer or maybe even a dropper. Kudos to Jen though.
I so agree. Had she played like she did against Seles in the semis, she would have won.
You sound very ignorant my friend. Hingis wasn't playing scared lol she was worn out by a long tournament and 100 degree weather 🌡️🥵.
@@Dancingontgesun1942 you sound ignorant. She literally played points more aggressive before/after the match points shown here. Anyone who watched the match knows they were tired and the heat came into play but that didn’t stop from being aggressive at times during the 2nd and 3rd set.
@@Luciene3 Have you ever played in the final of a week long tennis tournament , in 100 degree heat? I have. I've also watched 90% of every televised match Hingis has played. Not to mention my experience as a high level player and a coach. Hingis was physically and mentally beat, saying anything else just proves how ignorant and inexperienced in tennis you are. Free free to post dumb stuff on TH-cam tho🤷🏾♂️
@@Dancingontgesun1942 yes I have. You’re not special because you’re a has been who never was that turned to coaching. Literally there are two example in this video of Hingis having a more aggressive approach coming forward on one example and hitting a flatter backhand up the line for a clean winner for the other. But noooo she couldn’t have step it up on 1 of 4 match points.
what a fighter jen!!!!
38C is very rough for any ppl to be in the sun. Let alone playing a GS final.
Hingis played so conservatively on the match points… I don’t think this would be the case, had the FO 99 debacle not happened. It really took away her ability to win tight matches at the highest level.
Totally agree - I have wondered the same thing... She looked so tentative on championship point - I was surprised she didnt try to find her way into net on one of those championship points - she had won most of her net points in the match up to that point.
@@mikeg8375 totally agree. She was just waiting for unforced errors that didn’t come. This AO 2002 was heartbreaking, both for her and Seles. It really was the last chance for them to win something big.
Hingis waited for opponents to implode, which obviously was not the right tactic in this case.
@jm7804 Sad thing is, she won many points at the net this match. Even without the firepower off the ground, she could have used that tactic more often on the big points. I think she would have won.
Usually it works
Fact : What makes this match become iconic is " Then, call the fvcking referee "
No one cares run along you loser 😂
Capriati’s power told in the end. She was a much bigger hitter than Hingis.
Hingis, i was there to see you win. And that was the only Tennis match i ever watched.
Hingis reached 6 finals in a row from 98 to 02 . Winning first 3 and losing next 3
She lost to Davenport and Capriati twice...
97 to 02
To this day I have never seen a match so affected by the weather. I don’t know how they did it.
3:32 Take that, world! Loved how she finally put it all together.
Capriati did this in 100 degree weather...crazy
J. Cap is my favorite player of all time.
I really wanted Hingis to win this one that it’s almost too painful to watch!!
Me too. Would have been poetic justice for her after that ordeal at the French in 1999.
@@jujumusique1305 An ordeal of her own making.
Amazing
She was really down and out in this match. Mixed emotions. Feel bad for Hingis. But super happy for Capriati!!!
As this was her last grand slam win
Hingis just never believed she could win another slam - in all of her match points she was very passive and scared, waiting for Capriatti to make a mistake.
I maintain that when Graf broke her mentally in 99, she never recovered and never agAin believed she could win when it really counted.
Graf simply stayed in the match. Hingis allowed herself to melt down, and lost control of a very winnable final.
@@broncoguy4862’simply stayed in the match’ 🙄 that’s tennis
Billie Jean King said Hingis should have served and volleyed on the first match point.
The problem with Hingis is her shots have no power, it doesn’t skid off the court it just bounces up to the sky and asks to be dealt with
feel bad for Martina, though I liked her during her first years, I knew she was overconfident which was apparent in her 99 French open lost to Steffi...her coaching staff should have prep her to just ignore the crowd & just play to win, you can tell she changed since then.
More of Martina had lost than Jennifer had won. Scars of 99 RG Final for Martina
Martina looked SO cute here. At the absolute height of her beauty!!
This was last hurrah for hingis..she lost this match and would not win another grand slam...after this it was all Williams with Clijsters and Henin sprinkled in there as well!!!
It was Williams with henin. Venus only won three from here on.
Henin and Venus won just as many slams as each other - 7
Australian open mood

Poor Martina
Why they did not closed the roof
The roof closing policy was enacted because of (and after) this match and the fact that they were playing in 100 degree weather (probably warmer on the court)...
well karma got capriati in tight matches at the US Open later on
Karma from what?
How many Grand slams do you have and how many times have you been number one in the world or won a gold medal in the Olympics?
I'm going to guess none.
@@Mntguy-nr9vl i have none. thank you next. but karma got her big time in the 2003 us open semi final. how many times did she get to two points from winning the match against Henin.
You have the wrong definition of karma. karma involves your having done something bad to someone else before you experience the same predicament later on. But Jen didn’t do anything bad to Hingis. Hingis lost it.
@@quiddy i think you know what i mean. she got out of that match , the spirit of Hingis got her at the open twice in tiebreaks
@@olaraay that’s assuming the spirit of Hingis is vengeful
The stronger player won without a doubt. Hinges played great but lacked a power game once that was exposed everyone went with the mindset to just hit her off the court. No!
Poor Hingis, she was dominated by the rise of power players (Davenport, Williams, Pierce, Capriati)..
Despite that, she managed to reached 12 slams single finals, winning 5 of em..
Had Hingis compete in the era of Navratilova/Evert or Graf & Seles, she would've won more slams, maybe 10++
Yeah, poor thing. Head-to heads are 6-7 against Serena, 11-10 against Venus, 5-4 versus Capriati, 10-12 versus Davenport, 10-3 against Pierce, 14-5 against Seles.
Seems like you don´t know what domination means.
A little hint: Davenport (4-10), Clijsters (2-7), Mauresmo (2-10) and Sharapova (2-20 😅🤣) actually WERE dominated by Serena.
@@patrizioorru772 Most definitely. Hingis did not even win a single set against her pre-stabbing, that´s insane!
Imagine the career Capriati could've had if she learned how to step into a forehand.
Actually her off the backfoot or reverse forehand helped her win this match. There were times when she has no choice but to hit a reverse forehand to get the ball in and counterattack. If she had a more traditional orthodox forehand , she would miss a lot more forehands. Her forehand is very much like Pete Sampras and Lindsay Davenport. Their reverse forehand technique is not a product of laziness or bad form but rather their way of adapting to the increasing speed of the game. If in any given rally, they are able to hit a reverse forehand that is able to diffuse heavy and fast shots and send them back with as much if not more conviction, then why not?
@@quiddy I would never debate the benefits of having a reverse forehand in the arsenal. My criticism of Capriati (and Roddick, good god) is that she never hit a forehand any other way. If you're NOT hitting a reverse forehand, and you have time to set up, all you're doing with that super-open stance is robbing yourself of power. You're getting no legs into the shot at all. All arm. I can't stress enough that such a stance is fine in many instances, but when it's your stance for every forehand you hit, you're wasting potential.
@@papigringo5692 also Capriati hits the ball with her elbows tucked in or close to her body so even if she hits an open stance forehand, the shot is powered by the uncoiling of the upper body. So except for when she’s hitting a reverse, every other forehand of hers leverages her upper body uncoiling. She keeps her arm relatively in sync with her upper body movement until her follow through at which point the arm extends through
You guys mean a two-handed backhand. There's no such thing as a reverse forehand.
win by luck, poor hingis :(
I love to watch Hingis play but even more I love watching here lose.
She always acts entitled.
This is such a painful memory.
The stronger player won without a doubt. Hinges played great but lacked a power game once that was exposed everyone went with the mindset to just hit her off the court. No!
