| WIMBLEDON (Reuters) - World number one Martina Hingis withdrew from the
Wimbledon women's doubles Tuesday after suffering the most sensational
upset in the tournament's recent history.
The Swiss was humiliated 6-2 6-0 in the opening round of the singles
by 16-year-old Australian qualifier Jelena Dokic and said afterwards that
she planned to take a break.
Tournament referee Alan Mills issued a statement late Tuesday evening
saying that Hingis had pulled out of the doubles ``due to a recurring medical
problem.''
Hingis and Russian Anna Kournikova were seeded second in the doubles.
Mills said their place would be taken in the draw by Americans Debbie
Graham and Lori McNeil.
