Maria Sharapova unlikely to make a Roger Federer-like comeback, says Hingis
Martina Hingis is doubtful about Maria Sharapova being back at her highest level. A few weeks ago Russia's Tennis Federation chief Shamil Tarpischev said Sharapova can be back to the first ranking position, but Hingis does not have the same thoughts.
'I think that only Maria herself understands if she can comeback to her previous level. It's safe to say that it will be very difficult for her to do it. She is not becoming younger and it's unlikely that she is able to play at the age of 17 years when she won Wimbledon', said Hingis.
'There is an excellent example of Roger Federer, who was said four years ago that his time was gone. However, he was able to change his approach and now plays another tennis. For Maria, this journey will be tougher, because her tennis is physical.
Will she be able to regain her previous shape? We will see', Hingis said on TV programme "Melting Ice" on Match TV, as quoted by Championat. Hingis also commented on the 21-year-old Daria Kasatkina's potential: 'I know Daria Kasatkina well and I consider her a great talented player.
She has a very smart tennis. She is not the biggest girl, but very powerful and physical, hitting very well the ball. I think she needs two or three more years to reach the peak of her form and get big wins. Also, I am close to her coach, so I know her well.
I think that another champion would be useful to Russian tennis.'

Australian Open introduces 10-point final-set tiebreaks
The Australian Open will introduce final-set tiebreaks from next month.
The deciding set in singles and doubles will draw to a conclusion after 6-6 using the longer of the tiebreak formats – first to 10 points.
The decision comes following the most extensive consultation in the tournament’s history.
“We asked the players – both past and present, commentators, agents and TV analysts whether they wanted to play an advantage final set or not, and went from there,” Australian Open Tournament Director Craig Tiley said.
“We went with a 10-point tiebreak at six games all in the final set to ensure the fans still get a special finale to these often epic contests, with the longer tiebreak still then allowing for that one final twist or change of momentum in the contest. This longer tiebreak also can lessen some of the serving dominance that can prevail in the shorter tiebreak.
“We believe this is the best possible outcome for both the players and the fans around the world,” Tiley added.
The Australian Open 2019, the first Slam of the season, will take place at Melbourne Park from January 14 to 27.
