🎾 Bencic’s Road to the Madrid Open
Belinda Bencic is preparing for a major showdown against American star Coco Gauff in the Round of 16 at the Mutua Madrid Open. Both players have beaten each other twice before, but Bencic had the upper hand in their most recent meeting at Indian Wells earlier this year. Tennis fans are excited to see how this next chapter unfolds.
🏆 Winning Moments Since Her Return
Earlier this year in February, Bencic secured her first WTA title as a mother by winning the Abu Dhabi Open. She defeated rising star Ashlyn Krueger in the final, capturing her ninth career title. This win was a major milestone after her break from the sport to welcome her first child.
At the Indian Wells Masters, Bencic proved her resilience yet again, reaching the quarterfinals with strong performances against some of the best players in the world.
đź‘¶ Life After Becoming a Mother
In April 2024, Bencic gave birth to her daughter, Bella. Just eight weeks later, she was back on the court training. By October 2024, she made her return to professional competition, and since then, she has climbed back into the Top 50 in the world rankings. Now, she’s eyeing an even bigger dream: winning her first Grand Slam title.
