| DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) -- Martina Hingis beat
Nathalie Tauziat for the sixth straight time Saturday, needing just 72
minutes to win the final at the $565,000 Dubai Open.
The 6-4, 6-4 victory over the third-seeded Tauziat gave the top-ranked
Hingis her second title in a row. She won the Qatar Open last weekend.
``I have played Nathalie many times and I call her 'Professor' because
I have learned so many things from her over the years and she is such a
great player and competitor,'' said the 20-year-old Hingis, who's 13 years
younger than Tauziat.
