In 1998, Martina Hingis won all four of the Grand Slam women's doubles titles, only the fourth in women's tennis history to do so, (the Australian Open with Mirjana Lucic and the other three events with Novotna), and she became only the third woman to simultaneously hold the No. 1 ranking in both singles and doubles. She also retained her Australian Open singles title by beating Conchita Martinez in straight sets in the final. Martina Hingis, however, lost in the final of the US Open to Lindsay Davenport. Davenport ended an 80-week stretch Martina Hingis had enjoyed as the No. 1 singles player in October 1998, but Martina Hingis finished the year by beating Davenport in the final of the WTA Tour Championships.
