Hingis admitted it was a 'disappointing' way to bow out but said she had no regrets about her stellar career. "I'm sure we both wish for a better ending. They were just too good today. I don't think I have any regrets. I think it's been an amazing journey and amazing career that I can be proud of. I'll definitely miss it at some point in my life."
