MARTINA HINGIS HAS been included in Switzerland’s Fed Cup squad for the first time since 1998, as she bids to reach next year’s Olympic Games in Brazil.
The 34-year-old, who won five grand slam singles titles, has been named in the team to face Poland in the World Group play-offs later this month.
She has not featured in the event since Switzerland lost to Spain in the final 17 years ago, but needs to play in order to become eligible to go to Rio.
Hingis is joined in the team by Timea Bacsinszky, Stefanie Voegele and Viktorija Golubic.
Life time crush!
hard to believe she’s only 34..
I’ve loved watching her play since she came back. Unlike so many other professionals, she clearly enjoys being out there.
She’s playing great now too! Back to back titles over the past month
