Hingis and Mauresmo feud resumes in Sydney
(Jan 13th 2000 - Sydney)

The simmering feud between Switzerland's Martina Hingis and the woman she once described as "half a man" is set to boil over again when they meet in the semifinals of the Sydney international on Friday.

Hingis upset Amelie Mauresmo before the Australian Open final last January when she made a sneering remark about the Frenchwoman's muscular frame and open lesbianism.

An unapologetic Hingis launched another attack on her rival on Thursday, saying Mauresmo still had to prove herself if she wanted to be considered a top tennis player.
