===Grand Slam success and period of dominance (1996–2000)===

====1996====

In 1996, Hingis became the youngest Grand Slam champion of all time, when she teamed with [[Helena Suková]] at [[Wimbledon Championships|Wimbledon]] to win the women's doubles title at age 15 years and 9 months.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/tennis/hingis-to-miss-wimbledon-651558.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090101102314/http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/tennis/hingis-to-miss-wimbledon-651558.html |url-status=dead |archive-date= 1 January 2009 |title=Hingis to miss Wimbledon |author=John Roberts |date=21 May 2002 |access-date=31 October 2008 |work=The Independent |location=London }}</ref> She also won her first professional singles title that year at [[Filderstadt]], Germany. She reached the singles quarterfinals of the 1996 Australian Open and the singles semifinals of the 1996 [[US Open (tennis)|US Open]]. Following her win at Filderstadt, Hingis defeated the reigning Australian Open champion and co-top ranked (with [[Steffi Graf]]) [[Monica Seles]] in the final in Oakland, but lost to Graf in the year-end [[WTA Tour Championships]] final in five sets.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.tennis.com/pro-game/2019/10/wta-finals-debutants-have-history-success/85657/|title=WTA Finals newcomers have a history of success|website=Tennis.com|access-date=2019-10-31|archive-date=31 October 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191031210735/https://www.tennis.com/pro-game/2019/10/wta-finals-debutants-have-history-success/85657/|url-status=live}}</ref>

====1997====

In 1997, Hingis became the World No. 1 women's tennis player. She started the year by winning the warm-up tournament in Sydney. She then became the youngest [[Grand Slam (tennis)|Grand Slam]] singles winner in the 20th century by winning the Australian Open at age 16 years and 3 months (beating former champion [[Mary Pierce]] in the final). She also won the Australian Open women's doubles with [[Natasha Zvereva]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.stevegtennis.com/draw-results/wta/Australian_Open/1997/#to_d|title=WTA Australian Open Draw 1997 {{!}} Women's Qualifying & Main Event Results|access-date=2020-01-16|archive-date=29 March 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200329120638/http://www.stevegtennis.com/draw-results/wta/Australian_Open/1997/#to_d|url-status=live}}</ref> In March, she became the youngest top ranked player in history. In July, she became the youngest singles champion at Wimbledon since [[Lottie Dod]] in 1887 by beating [[Jana Novotná]] in the final. She then defeated another up-and-coming player, [[Venus Williams]], in the final of the US Open. The only Grand Slam singles title that Hingis failed to win in 1997 was the French Open, where she lost in the final to [[Iva Majoli]].

====1998: Doubles Grand Slam====

In 1998, Hingis won all four of the Grand Slam women's doubles titles, only the fourth in women's tennis history to do so,<ref>[http://www.celebritywonder.com/html/martinahingis_trivia1.html Martina Hingis News and Trivias at] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100118015826/http://www.celebritywonder.com/html/martinahingis_trivia1.html |date=18 January 2010 }}.

Retrieved 30 July 2011.</ref> (the Australian Open with [[Mirjana Lučić]] and the other three events with Novotná), and she became only the third woman to hold the No. 1 ranking in both singles and doubles simultaneously. She also retained her Australian Open singles title by beating [[Conchita Martínez]] in straight sets in the final. Hingis, however, lost in the final of the US Open to [[Lindsay Davenport]]. Davenport ended an 80-week stretch Hingis had enjoyed as the No. 1 singles player in October 1998, but Hingis finished the year by beating Davenport in the final of the WTA Tour Championships.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|title=Lindsay Davenport|url=http://www.espn.com/sports/tennis/playerCard?player=lindsay|access-date=15 September 2020|publisher=ESPN|archive-date=17 September 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200917032841/http://www.espn.com/sports/tennis/playerCard?player=lindsay|url-status=live}}</ref>

====1999====

[[File:Kournikova-Hingis-SYD-1.jpg|thumb|Martina Hingis (right) with doubles partner [[Anna Kournikova]] at the Sydney WTA tournament, 2002]]

1999 saw Hingis win her third successive Australian Open singles crown as well as the doubles title (with [[Anna Kournikova]]). She had dropped her former doubles partner Jana Novotná.<ref>[http://nymag.com/nymetro/news/sports/features/5107/ Riot Girls] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070930201025/http://nymag.com/nymetro/news/sports/features/5107/ |date=30 September 2007 }}, Chris Smith, ''New York''</ref>
She then reached the French Open final and was three points away from victory in the second set before losing to Steffi Graf about whom she had said before: "Steffi had some results in the past, but it's a faster, more athletic game now... She is old now. Her time has passed." She broke into tears after a game in which the crowd had booed her for using underhand serves and crossing the line in a discussion about an umpire decision.<ref>[http://www.insidetennis.com/archive/YB08_hingis.html Say it ain’t so] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924035219/http://www.insidetennis.com/archive/YB08_hingis.html |date=24 September 2015 }}, Bill Simons, Inside Tennis</ref> After a shock first-round, straight set, loss to [[Jelena Dokić]] at Wimbledon,<ref>{{cite news|url=http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/tennis/1999/wimbledon/news/1999/06/22/vicario_advance/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20010617051749/http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/tennis/1999/wimbledon/news/1999/06/22/vicario_advance/ |url-status=dead |archive-date=17 June 2001 |publisher=CNN|title=Qualifier Dokic crushes world No. 1, 6–2, 6–0 |date=22 June 1999 |access-date=12 May 2010 }}</ref> Hingis bounced back to reach her third consecutive US Open final, where she lost to 17-year-old [[Serena Williams]]. Hingis won a total of seven singles titles that year and reclaimed the No. 1 singles ranking. She also reached the final of the WTA Tour Championships, where she lost to Lindsay Davenport.<ref name=":0" />

====2000====

In 2000, Hingis again found herself in both the singles and doubles finals at the Australian Open. This time, however, she lost both. Her three-year hold on the singles championship ended when she lost to Davenport. Later, Hingis and Mary Pierce, her new doubles partner, lost to [[Lisa Raymond]] and [[Rennae Stubbs]]. Hingis captured the French Open women's doubles title with Pierce and produced consistent results in singles tournaments throughout the year. She reached the quarterfinals at Wimbledon before losing to Venus Williams. Although she did not win a Grand Slam singles tournament, the first time this had happened since 1996,<ref>{{Cite web|title=Martina Hingis|url=http://www.espn.com/sports/tennis/playerCard?player=hingis|website=ESPN PlayerCard|access-date=15 September 2020|archive-date=17 September 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200917010355/http://www.espn.com/sports/tennis/playerCard?player=hingis|url-status=live}}</ref> she kept the year end No. 1 ranking because of nine tournament championships, including the WTA Tour Championships where she won the singles and doubles titles.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Martina Hingis|url=https://www.wtatennis.com/players/80301/martina-hingis/matches|website=WTA Tournaments|access-date=15 September 2020|archive-date=16 September 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200916213949/https://www.wtatennis.com/players/80301/martina-hingis/matches|url-status=live}}</ref>

=== Injuries and first retirement from tennis (2001–2003) ===

====2001====

In 2001, [[Switzerland at the Hopman Cup|Switzerland]], with Hingis and [[Roger Federer]] on its team, won the [[2001 Hopman Cup|Hopman Cup]].<ref>{{cite news |url=http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/tennis/news/2001/01/06/hopman_saturday_ap/ |title=Hingis, Federer win Hopman Cup title over U.S. |date=6 January 2001 |publisher=CNN|url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131029190622/http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/tennis/news/2001/01/06/hopman_saturday_ap/ |archive-date=29 October 2013}}</ref> Hingis didn't drop a set in any of her singles matches during the event, defeating [[Tamarine Tanasugarn]], [[Nicole Pratt]], [[Amanda Coetzer]], and Monica Seles.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/tennis/switzerland-win-hopman-cup-705774.html |work=The Independent |location=London |title=Switzerland win Hopman Cup |date=6 January 2001 |access-date=12 May 2010 }}{{dead link|date=August 2021|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}</ref> In 2018, after his second Hopman Cup victory, Federer was quoted as saying: "I learned a lot from her, especially the two years I was here – once as a hitting partner and once as a partner with Martina.

Hingis reached her fifth consecutive [[2001 Australian Open – Women's singles|Australian Open]] final in 2001, defeating both of the [[Williams sisters]] en route, before losing to [[Jennifer Capriati]]. She briefly ended her coaching relationship with her mother Melanie early in the year<ref>{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/tennis/1323400.stm |publisher=BBC News |title=Mum's the word for Hingis |date=10 May 2001 |access-date=12 May 2010 |archive-date=28 October 2002 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20021028115843/http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/tennis/1323400.stm |url-status=live }}</ref> but had a change of heart two months later just before the French Open. 2001 was her least successful year in several seasons, with only three tournament victories in total. She lost her No. 1 ranking for the last time (to [[Jennifer Capriati]]) on 14 October 2001. In that same month, Hingis underwent surgery on her right ankle.

====2002====
{{BLP unreferenced section|date=January 2025}}
Coming back from injury, Hingis won the Australian Open doubles final at the start of 2002 (again teaming with Anna Kournikova) and reached a sixth straight Australian Open final in singles, again facing Capriati. Hingis led by a set and 4–0 and had four match points but lost in three sets. In May 2002, she needed another ankle ligament operation, this time on her left ankle. After that, she continued to struggle with injuries and was not able to recapture her best form.

====2003====

In February 2003, at the age of 22, Hingis announced her retirement from tennis, due to her injuries and being in pain.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/tennis/2735931.stm |publisher=BBC News |title=Hingis quits tennis |date=7 February 2003 |access-date=12 May 2010 |archive-date=9 June 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090609073327/http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/tennis/2735931.stm |url-status=live }}</ref> "I want to play tennis only for fun and concentrate more on horse riding and finish my studies."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/200302/s780193.htm |title=Hingis reiterates retirement decision. 10/2/2003.

During this segment of her tennis career (until what would become her first retirement), Hingis won a total of 40 singles titles and 36 doubles. She held the world No. 1 singles ranking for a total of 209 weeks (fifth most following Steffi Graf, [[Martina Navratilova]], [[Chris Evert]], and Serena Williams).<ref name=weeks/> In 2005, ''Tennis'' magazine put her in 22nd place in its list of [[TENNIS Magazine|40 Greatest Players of the Tennis era]].

=== Return to the game (2005–2007) ===

[[File:Martina Hingis Australian Open 2006.JPG|thumb|upright|Martina Hingis at the Australian Open, 2006]]

====2005====
{{BLP unreferenced section|date=January 2025}}
In February 2005, Hingis came out of retirement and made an unsuccessful return to competition. This took place at an event in [[2005 Volvo Women's Open – Singles|Pattaya]], Thailand, where she lost to Germany's [[Marlene Weingärtner]] in the first round. After the loss, she claimed that she had no further plans to continue further and make a full-fledged comeback.

Hingis, however, resurfaced in July, playing singles, doubles, and mixed doubles in [[World Team Tennis]] and notching up singles victories over two top 100 players and shutting out [[Martina Navratilova]] in singles on 7 July. With these promising results behind her, Hingis announced on 29 November her return to the next season's [[WTA Tour]].

====2006====
At the [[2006 Australian Open|Australian Open]], Hingis lost in the quarterfinals to second-seeded [[Kim Clijsters]]. However, Hingis won the mixed doubles title with [[Mahesh Bhupathi]] of India. This was her first career [[Grand Slam (tennis)|Grand Slam]] mixed doubles title and fifteenth overall (5 singles, 9 women's doubles, 1 mixed doubles).

The week after the Australian Open, Hingis defeated world No. 4, [[Maria Sharapova]], in the semifinals of the [[Tier I]] [[Pan Pacific Open]] in Tokyo, before losing in the final to world No. 9, [[Elena Dementieva]]. Hingis competed in Dubai then, reaching the quarterfinals before falling to Sharapova. At the Tier I [[Pacific Life Open]] in Indian Wells, Hingis defeated world No. 4, [[Lindsay Davenport]] in the fourth round, before again losing to Sharapova in the semifinals.

[[File:Martina Hingis am Zurich Open 2006.jpg|thumb|left|Martina Hingis at the Zurich Open, 2006]]
At the Tier I [[Rome Masters|Italian Open]] in Rome, Hingis posted her 500th career singles match victory in the quarterfinals, beating world No. 18 Flavia Pennetta, and subsequently won the tournament with wins over Venus Williams in the semifinals and [[Dinara Safina]] in the final. This was her 41st WTA Tour singles title and first in more than four years. Hingis then reached the quarterfinals of the French Open before losing to Kim Clijsters.

At Wimbledon, Hingis lost in the third round to [[Ai Sugiyama]].

Hingis's return to the US Open was short lived, as she was upset in the second round by world No. 112, [[Virginie Razzano]] of France.

In her first tournament after the US Open, Hingis won the second title of her comeback at the Tier III [[Sunfeast Open]] in Kolkata, India. She defeated unseeded Russian [[Olga Puchkova]] in the final. The following week in [[Hansol Korea Open Tennis Championships|Seoul]], Hingis notched her 50th match win of the year before losing in the second round to [[Sania Mirza]].

Hingis qualified for the year-ending [[WTA Tour Championships]] in Madrid as the 8th seed. In her round robin matches, she lost in three sets to both [[Justine Henin]] and [[Amélie Mauresmo]] but defeated [[Nadia Petrova]].

Hingis ended the year ranked world No. 7. She also finished eighth in prize money earnings (US$1,159,537). Hingis also ranked as No. 7 on the Annual Top Google News Searches in 2006.<ref>[http://www.digitaltrends.com/lifestyle/google-zeitgeist-highlights-2006-searches/ Google Zeitgeist Highlights 2006 Searches] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110928212644/http://www.digitaltrends.com/lifestyle/google-zeitgeist-highlights-2006-searches/ |date=28 September 2011 }}.

====2007====

[[File:Hingis Martina.jpg|thumb|Martina Hingis in Miami, Florida, 2007]]

At the [[2007 Australian Open – Women's singles|Australian Open]], Hingis won her first three rounds without losing a set before defeating China's [[Li Na (tennis)|Li Na]] in the fourth round. Hingis then lost a quarterfinal match to [[Kim Clijsters]]. This was the second consecutive year that Hingis had lost to Clijsters in the quarterfinals of the Australian Open<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2007/jan/25/tennis.australianopen2007 |title=Hingis comeback quest suffers repeat rebuff from Clijsters |access-date=25 January 2007 |location=London |work=[[The Guardian]] |first=Steve |last=Bierley |date=25 January 2007 |archive-date=3 August 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200803181626/https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2007/jan/25/tennis.australianopen2007 |url-status=live }}</ref> and the third time in the last five [[Grand Slam (tennis)|Grand Slam]] tournaments that Clijsters had eliminated Hingis in the quarterfinals.

Hingis won her next tournament, the Tier I [[Toray Pan Pacific Open]] in Tokyo, defeating [[Ana Ivanovic]] in the final. This was Hingis's record fifth singles title at this event.

A hip injury that troubled her at the [[German Open (WTA)|German Open]] caused her to withdraw from the [[Rome Masters]], where she was the defending champion, and the French Open, the only important singles title that eluded her.

In her first round match at Wimbledon, Hingis saved two match points to defeat British wildcard [[Naomi Cavaday]], apparently not having fully recovered from the hip injury that prevented her from playing the French Open.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://championships.wimbledon.org/en_GB/news/articles/2007-06-25/200706251182793470187.html |title=I'm Not a Contender, Says Hingis |date=25 June 2007 |access-date=5 January 2008 |author=Kate Battersby |publisher=[[AELTC]] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080125015438/http://championships.wimbledon.org/en_GB/news/articles/2007-06-25/200706251182793470187.html |archive-date=25 January 2008 |url-status=dead}}</ref> In the third round, Hingis lost to [[Laura Granville]] of the United States, and stated afterwards she should not have entered the tournament.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://championships.wimbledon.org/en_GB/news/articles/2007-06-29/200706291183145043812.html |title=Injury-hit Hingis Regrets Playing |publisher=AELTC |date=29 June 2007 |author=Kate Battersby |access-date=5 January 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080125015442/http://championships.wimbledon.org/en_GB/news/articles/2007-06-29/200706291183145043812.html |archive-date=25 January 2008 |url-status=dead}}</ref>

Hingis's next tournament was the last Grand Slam tournament of the year, the US Open, in which Hingis lost in the third round to Belarusian teenager [[Victoria Azarenka]]. Hingis did not play any tournaments after the [[2007 China Open (tennis)|China Open]], as she was beset by injuries for the rest of the year.<ref name=Photos>{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/tennis/7073957.stm |title=Martina Hingis's career in photos |publisher=BBC Sport |date=7 November 2007 |access-date=31 October 2008 |archive-date=13 March 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090313145933/http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/tennis/7073957.stm |url-status=live }}</ref>

=== ITF suspension and second retirement (2007–2012) ===

At the time of Hingis's suspension, the ITF required an automatic two-year suspension for any players who tested positive for banned substances, regardless of extenuating circumstances such as contamination or extremely low detection levels. The ITF subsequently altered the suspension rules as a result of the Hingis case, allowing for future flexibility in cases of unintentional or unexplained ingestion.{{citation needed|date=June 2023}}
