I found this picture last night of a tennis player winning a Hoover Windtunnel as I think a promotional gift at a tennis match in New York. I was a kid in 1998, but this is my first time learning about the "Clean Sweep Award".
The caption on Getty Images is:
"NEW YORK, UNITED STATES: Martina Hingis of Switzerland takes her new Hoover vacumn [sic] cleaner for a spin across the court after she was given the Clean Sweep Award by the Hoover Company 17 November at the Chase Championships in New York. AFP PHOTO/Matt CAMPBELL "
I found an online tennis website that also wrote about it:
"In addition to claiming a 4-6, 6-0, 6-3 victory, Hingis received the Hoover Clean Sweep Award for her consistent play at the year's Grand Slam events. 'You're trying to make a housewife out of me,' Hingis exclaimed upon being presented with a vacuum". Sounds like not the most welcome gift lol
Has anyone else heard of this? Very interested to learn more.
