The last time Arantxa beat Martina was in 1995. Then, it was 15 matches in favor of Martina. 6 years later, Arantxa won one more time. Martina’s game was inconsistent; nothing worked for her. Later that year, Martina took the upper hand over Sanchez in two more meetings and eventually won their last meeting in Filterstadt in 2002.

Why was it so difficult for Arantxa Sanchez and Monica Seles to beat Martina Hingis? Even though Hingis was powerless against Steffi Graf?
I believe this was the first tournament Hingis was using the MP 5i HS racquet, so she most likely was still adjusting. In Dubai she was using the version with the bigger head. Either way, Arantxa played a great match here. Martina still wins the prize though for being poetry in motion. <3
強打だけに頼らない頭脳的技巧派対決！！🎾😃☀️
Arantxa last played with Steffi in the summer of 1996. After the summer of 1996 (when she lost 7 major tournament finals in a row), she had a big psychological breakdown and her career went down sharply.
The first defeat from Martina was after that. Arantxa 1993-1995 was stronger than prime Martina and statistics would be in favor of Arantxa
