Martina Hingis

No one has been world No. 1 younger. Martina Hingis was 16 when she took the top ranking in March 1997, weeks after becoming the twentieth century's youngest Grand Slam singles champion at the Australian Open. She played chess in a power era, reading the point two shots early and redirecting pace she could not produce, and in 1997 she won three of the four majors, losing only the Paris final. Her 5 Grand Slam singles titles split three Australian Opens, one Wimbledon and one US Open.

Roland Garros never came. In the 1999 final she led Steffi Graf by a set and served for the title, then unravelled in boos, an underarm serve and tears, losing 4-6, 7-5, 6-2. Ankle injuries forced her retirement in 2003 at 22, with 43 career titles and 209 weeks at No. 1 already behind her. Two comebacks made the second act about doubles: thirteen women's doubles majors, seven in mixed, and a return to doubles No. 1 in her mid-thirties.
