辛吉斯重返WTA赛场!!!!
November 30, 2004
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Martina Hingis plans to play a tournament in Thailand in January, the first WTA Tour event for the former No. 1-ranked player since 2002.
Hingis will play the Volvo Women\'s Open in Pattaya to raise money for several Thai charities that help women and children who have suffered from abuse, homelessness and illness.
``I hope to raise awareness of the support needed for those who are less fortunate and living in impoverished conditions in Thailand and around the world,\'\' she said Tuesday in a statement issued by Octagon, her Washington, D.C.-based management company.
Hingis was 22 when she retired in 2002 after operations on both ankles. The five-time Grand Slam singles champion was the youngest player to reach No. 1 at age 16 years and six months. She won a combined 76 singles and doubles titles during her career.
Hingis was appointed a goodwill ambassador for the World Health Organization and in 2000 she launched their ``Match Point Against Polio\'\' campaign.
The tournament begins Jan. 31.
这篇摘自雅虎国际的新闻大概就是说:辛吉斯明年1月份将以慈善的名义参加在泰国举行的沃尔沃公开赛,这将是她2002年退役后首次出现在WTA正式比赛的赛场上。
