Hingis vs. Novotna Chicago 1996 SF

*rarity* Novotna fought off three set points in the first set and rallied from three games down in the second to overcome Martina in the Ameritech Cup semifinals at the University of Illinois-Chicago Pavilion. With Hingis ahead, 2-1, in the second set, Novotna took two three-minute injury timeouts, one to tape a blister on the toe of her left foot and the other to bandage her right knee because her thigh had tightened up. Martina, who had lost to Novotna in the finals of the European Indoors two weeks ago, went ahead, 4-1. But Novotna regrouped to win the final five games, scoring the last 13 points. Martina ♥ Enjoy!
