Anna Leigh Waters and Martina Hingis

Waters, Hingis take the court together in Switzerland

DALLAS, TX - If Anna Leigh Waters had to play tennis with anyone while vacationing in Switzerland, the most appropriate choice would probably be Martina Hingis (sorry, Roger Federer).

That’s why it makes sense, then, that the two shared the court last week.

A former Swiss star, Hingis is one of the few players who, like Waters, reached the top of her sport early on in her teenage years.
