Ana Ivanovic and Martina Hingis reunited for a special exhibition at the Geneva Open, participating in a mixed doubles match. They teamed up with French former players (both former world No. 5) Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Henri Leconte as the former tennis stars took center stage.
The tournament is celebrating its 10th anniversary as an ATP 250 event, and brought in 2008 French Open champion Ivanovic to face off against her former rival and five-time Grand Slam champion Martina Hingis.
Serbia's Ivanovic shared a few photos from the exhibition, expressing her joy at reuniting with her former colleague. Hingis and Ivanovic had faced each other twice during their careers, with a 1-1 head-to-head record.
It's worth noting that while the Swiss Hingis enjoyed most of her success between 1997-2000 (four Grand Slam titles and five finals), Ivanovic had not yet debuted professionally. The Serbian reached world No. 1 in 2008 after reaching the Australian Open final and winning the Roland Garros title.
"No other feeling like playing tennis with old friends,” posted Ivanovic on her Instagram account.
