Queen V would step onto the court and the minds of her opponent would go into overdrive, trying to come up with a strategy to face her down. Many weren’t able to manage a win. When some thought they gained an advantage, Williams would go into sixth gear and pull ahead with a magical comeback. One such instance happened in her match against Martina Hingis, whom Williams called her epic rival.

Venus Williams and Martina Hingis have faced each other a total of 21 times. Their rivalry stands in the favor of Hingis as the Swiss player leads with 11 victories over Williams.
