Martina Hingis commits to play at Hobart International exhibition

Five-time Grand Slam titlist Martina Hingis confirms her participation at an exhibition match during the Hobart International in January 2014. The match is scheduled to take place by January 5.

The 33-year old “Swiss Miss” will be playing against world number one Junior player Belinda Bencic, also from Switzerland, in a friendly exhibition match at the Domain Tennis Center.
“I’m very much looking forward to coming to Hobart,” she said. “I have been to many places in the world, but I’m yet to come to Hobart. I have heard great things about the event and I am sure that my time in Hobart will be another one to add to the list.”

“It’s a historical first for the event and we are excited to welcome Martina to Tasmania for this special exhibition match,” said Tournament Director Mark Handley.
