Martina Hingis, a 32-year-old retired tennis star, is set to enter the World Tennis Hall of Fame today, although many will be talking about her alleged infidelity, unfortunately, rather than her long list of accomplishments.
Hingis' induction to the Hall of Fame should be a joyous occasion, but her day of recognition will be marred by the accusations of her estranged husband, Thibalt Hutin, a 26-year-old French equestrian.
According to Hutin, a year after their wedding he planned on meeting Hingis in New York, but when he arrived to the hotel room she was staying at, he said she was with another man. Late last year, Hutin became aware of other times Hingis has stepped out on him.
"Martina has a very personal conception of morality," Hutin said. "She has always been like that; I think she has always been unfaithful to her boyfriends."
Hingis is believed to currently be in a relationship with David Tosas Ros, a Spanish sports management executive according to Fox Sports. "They shared the hotel room there and they paraded themselves in public in the Bois de Boulogne," Hutin said. "There are even pictures of them. You can imagine how painful it was for me."
Hingis has had other controversies, including a second retirement in 2007 due to testing positive for cocaine. She had previously retired in 2002 as a 22-year-old due to career-threatening ankle injuries.
Although she's just 32 years old, Hingis' WTA career is littered with major victories. She owns a career Grand Slam, counting singles and doubles results, and has won five Grand Slam singles titles.
Her best Grand Slam event was the Australian Open, which she owned from 1997 to 1999, winning it three consecutive times. She won Wimbledon and the U.S. Open in 1997 as well, while reaching the 1997 French Open Final in a year of complete dominance over the rest of the field.
While retired from the WTA, Hingis still plays competitively for World Team Tennis' Washington Kastles, which Hingis led to a record-breaking 34-match winning streak that was snapped earlier this week.
