plying style:
Hingis was renowned for her tactical approach to the game of tennis and for her technical skills, enabling her to produce a wide array of shots with finesse.
She lacked the power possessed by many of her contemporaries; therefore,
she relied on low error-rates and good shot selection to keep opponents off-balance. She often used change of direction and pace to catch opponents
off guard and sharp angles to open up the court. She was also well known for her ability to break long rallies by hitting accurate drop shots and coming
to the net, where she was a skilled volleyer. A signature play of Hingis was the drop shot followed by a lob, often resulting in an easy volley or overhead
to finish the point. Hingis often hit the ball extremely early by standing close to the baseline (or inside it) in order to take reaction time away from her opponent.
