I do recall, however, a report that Martina Hingis' mother used CP on her for poor performance during some stage of her career. I would speculate that it was earlier, i.e. when she was younger. I don't recall how valid the reports were, but it seems to be from the sources mentioned that there might have been the potential that they were true.

I also recall that it was mentioned that Mary Pierce's father had physically punished her for poor performance, and perhaps other infractions. However, that story indicated that he went well beyond corrective punishment, and was an abusive and destructive father.
