Former world number one Martina Hingis has announced she is to marry Czech tennis star Radek Stepanek. Tennis fans will have to come up with another nickname for the former world number one, who's been known for years as the Swiss Miss.

26-year-old Hingis has revealed Stepanek proposed to her in Prague in November.
 
Hingis is currently ranked 7 in the world and is preparing for the Australian Open, which begins in two weeks.

Stepanek is number 19 in the men’s game, but hasn't played since Wimbledon in 2005, when he picked up a neck injury.
