Martina Hingis, one of the greats in the field of tennis, says she is not making a comeback to the sport. She made this announcement in her interview with L’Equipe, adding that she’s happy with new life.

“If I had won the four Grand Slam tournaments, maybe I would have continued,” she said. “But I was on downslope. And I was suspended for two years, and that was it.”

Hingis said she’s faced a tough time during her suspension. Prior to that, she spent 209 weeks at No. 1 in the women’s rankings and won five Grand Slam singles titles.

In 2002, HIngis quit competitive tennis for the first time due to foot and leg injuries. But when she returned in 2006, she reached two Grand Slam quarterfinals, won two smaller tournaments and finished the year as No. 7.

In 2007, Hingis was given a two-year ban for testing positive for cocaine after a third-round exit at Wimbledon. She denied using cocaine.
