5 Tennis Legends Who Never Won Roland Garros

#1 Martina Hingis

A tennis star from Switzerland, whose career lasted for around 2 decades, in which she won many titles in singles – the French Crown, however, is a title that she didn’t have the honour of winning.

She did win this crown at the age of only 12 with the French Open Single’s Girls Title, making people see it as a sign of things to come from this little maestro from Switzerland. However, it wasn't to be.

Years later, in 1999, against Steffi Graf, Hingis lost the final and was so bitterly disappointed that she wasn’t willing to come onto the stage for the prize distribution. It was only after constant efforts from her mother that she was convinced and accepted her runner’s up trophy.

This would remain her best performance in French Open women’s singles, in a career that has otherwise ruled all the courts of tennis and added to her illustrious milestones.
