Early exit for Hingis

Martina Hingis’ latest comeback event saw her crash out in the first round, although she was up against former world number one Justine Henin-Hardenne at the Medibank International in Sydney.

Hingis, who reached the semi-finals at the Mondial Australian Women’s Hardcourts last week, was beaten in straight sets, 6-3 6-3, by the Belgian.
