Belinda Bencic (born 10 March 1997) is a Swiss tennis player, currently ranked world No. 43. Bencic has won two singles and two doubles titles on the WTA tour, as well as two singles and two doubles titles on the ITF circuit in her career. Marcel Niederer is her manager.

In 2012, Bencic made her debut for the Switzerland Fed Cup team,[1] and in 2013 won the French Open and Wimbledon girls' singles titles.[2] She has also been a finalist in three girls' doubles tournaments, at the US Open in 2012 and 2013, as well as at Wimbledon in 2012. Bencic's run to the quarterfinals at the 2014 US Open, defeating two top-ten players, including former world No. 1 Jelena Janković along the way, propelled her into the top 40 for the first time in her career.[3] In 2015, Bencic won her first title at the Aegon International, beating Agnieszka Radwańska in the final as well as breaking into the top 20. She won the biggest title of her career at the Rogers Cup, beating four top-ten players: Caroline Wozniacki, Ana Ivanovic, world No. 1, Serena Williams, and Simona Halep en route.

Bencic is coached by her father, who emigrated to Switzerland from Czechoslovakia in 1968,[1] and on occasion by Melanie Molitor,[2] the mother of fellow Swiss tennis player Martina Hingis.

Career

Bencic was born to Swiss parents of Slovak descent. Her father Ivan is originally from Bratislava and her mother Daniela "Dana" is from Močenok. She has one brother, Brian.[4]

Early career

Bencic began playing at the age of 4, learning at Melanie Molitor's tennis school, and began training with Molitor on a daily basis from age 7.[5] She also spent six months training at the Nick Bollettieri Academy in Florida.[6]

2012: WTA tour debut

Bencic kicked off her 2012 season by winning two back-to-back G18 ITF tournaments in the Czech Republic, dropping not a single set in the former and only one in the latter. She then qualified for and reached the quarterfinals of a professional $10,000 ITF event in Leimen, Germany, losing to eventual finalist Tereza Smitková. Two months later, in April, she headed to the United States for a G18 ITF in California, where she lost in the third round to Allie Kiick. The following week, Bencic played a $25,000 ITF tournament in Pelham, Alabama, losing to the former Wimbledon semifinalist Alexandra Stevenson during qualifying. Then, she returned to the junior tour playing a G18 G1 tournament in Beaulieu-sur-Mer, France. Seeded seventh, she breezed through all her matches, losing only one set in the second round. The following week, Bencic won her fourth title of the year at a G18 G2 in Italy, once again dropping one set. However, her amazing run was ended the following week in the semifinals of another G2 in Italy.

Later in May, Bencic received a wildcard into the qualifying draw of the WTA Brussels Open. In the first round of qualifying, she stunned the tennis world by knocking out former top-20 player Elena Bovina in three sets. She was eliminated in the second round of qualifying by Lesia Tsurenko, but her win over Bovina boosted her ranking up 189 places to a career high of world No. 951.

Bencic's next tournament was the junior French Open in Paris. As the fifteenth seed, she was stunned in the first round by unseeded Françoise Abanda in two tie breaks. Less than a month after her disappointing loss at the French Open, she headed to 's-Hertogenbosch for another WTA tournament, the UNICEF Open. However, she was defeated by top qualifying seed Urszula Radwańska.

The following week, Bencic played her Wimbledon warm-up tournament, the G18 G1 Aegon International in Roehampton. She reached the semifinals, defeating top junior players including Indy de Vroome and Sachia Vickery, before being defeated by future Wimbledon girl's champion Eugenie Bouchard of Canada. At Wimbledon, she again suffered a disappointing early stage singles loss to Indy de Vroome in round two, but reached the final in doubles.

A few weeks later, Bencic headed home to Switzerland to play the prestigious G18 G1 European Junior Championships. Seeded second and the home favourite, she made it to the semifinals, losing to Başak Eraydın. A month later, she travelled to Canada for another G1 tournament, the Canadian Open Junior Championships, a warm-up for the US Open. She reached the third round, losing to Jeļena Ostapenko, despite taking the first set to love. At the US Open, Bencic once again failed to make an impression at a Grand Slam, losing in the second round to wildcard and eventual champion Samantha Crawford in three tough sets. However, she had better results in doubles, reaching the final alongside Petra Uberalová, before losing to home favourites Gabrielle Andrews and Taylor Townsend.

After the US Open, Bencic took a two-week break before returning to the pro circuit at a $10,000 ITF event in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt. In the first round, she crushed the top seed of China, Lu Jiajing. In the next two rounds, she breezed past two qualifiers to advance to her first professional semifinal, where she defeated fourth seed Barbara Haas of Austria to advance to the final. She claimed her first professional title by defeating second seed Fatma Al-Nabhani. She also won the doubles tournament in Egypt partnering Lou Brouleau. The following week, Bencic continued her amazing run on the pro circuit by winning another $10,000 ITF tournament in Sharm el-Sheikh, defeating Haas again, but this time in the final. She lost only one set in the whole tournament, and her ashtonishing performance in Egypt boosted her ranking 170 places to world No. 722, a career high.

Bencic was then granted a wildcard into the main draw of the Luxembourg Open, where she faced former world No. 1 Venus Williams in the first round, losing in straight sets.[7] Williams went on to win the tournament. This WTA main draw debut once again raised her ranking significantly, 108 places to world No. 614.

Bencic then progressed through qualifying to take a place in the main draw at the $25,000 ITF tournament in Benicarló, Spain, where she lost in the first round to Dinah Pfizenmaier. After this, she completed her 2012 season with a stellar display of junior tennis in North America, reaching the semifinals of Eddie Herr, a Grade 1 event in Florida, reaching the quarterfinals of the Dunlop Orange Bowl, and winning the Grade A Abierto Juvenil in Mexico, with a record six to-love sets throughout the tournament. These included two "double bagels".

2013: Junior number 1

Bencic played the first ten tournaments of her 2013 campaign in the United States. All but one were ITF $25,000 or $50,000 events, with the exception of the 2013 Sony Open, where she lost in qualifying as a wildcard entry. Her best result was a quarterfinal appearance in Rancho Mirage, but her big break came at the 2013 Audi Melbourne Pro Tennis Classic during the final week of April; she qualified for the tournament with the loss of just one set, before upsetting top seed Tatjana Maria with a surprisingly one-sided first-round win. She proceeded to the semifinals with three-set wins over Americans Shelby Rogers and Jan Abaza, but was then defeated by eventual champion Petra Rampre. This performance boosted her ranking 81 places to world No. 351.

Next, Bencic flew to Europe for her junior French Open and Wimbledon campaigns. Her first tournament was a Grade 1 tournament in Italy, a warm-up for the French Open. Playing her first junior tournament of the year, she breezed to the singles title as the top seed with the loss of only one set and reached the semifinals in doubles alongside Viktoriya Lushkova. The following week, she played a Grade A tournament, also in Italy, and showed no signs of deteriorating form when she snatched the title with the loss of just one set, boosting her junior ranking to a career high of world No. 2.

Bencic was seeded second at the French Open. In the first two rounds, she defeated Alice Matteucci and Fiona Ferro without losing a set, but was pushed to three-set matches by Beatriz Haddad Maia, Taylor Townsend, and Louisa Chirico en route to her first Grand Slam singles final.[8] The final was a one-sided affair, as she defeated Antonia Lottner from Germany in straight sets in a little over an hour to win her maiden Grand Slam, becoming the first Swiss girl since Martina Hingis in 1994 to be victorious at the Roland Garros junior tournament.[9]

Bencic lifting the 2013 Wimbledon juniors trophy

Prior to Wimbledon, Bencic played a senior ITF $25,000 event in Lenzerheide, Switzerland (where she was singles semifinalist and doubles champion, alongside Kateřina Siniaková) and a junior Grade 1 at Roehampton (which she won in singles). She then went on to capture the Wimbledon title, defeating Townsend in the final, to crown a successful summer.[10]

Bencic next appeared in competition at the 2013 Swedish Open on the WTA Tour, where she was awarded with a main draw wildcard, but lost to Anna Tatishvili in the first round.[11]

Bencic at the 2013 US Open

At the US Open, Bencic reached the quarterfinals in singles, losing to Antonia Lottner in straight sets.[12] In doubles, partnering Sara Sorribes Tormo, she was more successful, but again, for the second year running, was defeated in the final, losing in straight sets to the Czech pairing of Barbora Krejčíková and Kateřina Siniaková.

Bencic received a wildcard into the 2013 Toray Pan Pacific Open,[13] a Premier 5 tournament. She won her first match on the WTA tour,[14] defeating the Russian qualifier, Daria Gavrilova, in three first-round sets, but lost to eventual champion Petra Kvitová in the second round.[15] At the HP Open in Osaka, Bencic went through three rounds of qualifying, defeating Chang Kai-chen, Mandy Minella, and Anastasia Rodionova to qualify for the main draw. There, she beat Lauren Davis in straight sets[16][17] before bowing out to former US Open champion Samantha Stosur.[18]

Bencic then remained in Japan for two $25,000 ITF tournaments. At the first one, held in Makinohara, she was the sixth seed, beating four Japanese players to advance to her first $25,000 ITF singles final, losing to Zarina Diyas of Kazakhstan. In doubles, she and partner Sofia Shapatava lost in the quarterfinals. The following week in Hamamatsu, Bencic was seeded fourth. She advanced to the semifinals without the loss of a set, where she was defeated by Eri Hozumi. In doubles, she and Shapatava advanced to the final, where the unseeded duo lost to the second seeds Shuko Aoyama and Junri Namigata in straight sets.

In November, Bencic played at the Dunlop World Challenge, where she reached the semifinals in singles and the quarterfinals in doubles. Her strong performance improved her world ranking to a new high of No. 184.

In December, Bencic was pronounced ITF Junior World Champion.[19]

2014: Breakthrough, top 50, and first Grand Slam quarterfinal

Bencic started her season in Hobart with an exhibition match against fellow Swiss and former world No. 1, Martina Hingis, but lost in three sets.[20] She next headed to Melbourne for the Australian Open, making it through three rounds of qualifying to earn her first main draw appearance at a Grand Slam tournament, defeating top seed in qualifying and world No. 106 Sharon Fichman in the process.[21] Her opponent in the first round was veteran Kimiko Date-Krumm, making this a meeting between the oldest and second-youngest players in the main draw.[22] Bencic upset the former world No. 4 and former Australian Open semifinalist in three sets to seal victory on her Grand Slam debut.[23][24] Her opponent in round two was the fourth seed and eventual tournament champion Li Na, to whom she lost in straight sets.[25][26] In spite of the outcome, as a result of her reaching the second round at her maiden Grand Slam, Bencic was guaranteed to enter the world's top 150 for the first time on 27 January 2014.[27] She ultimately made it to No. 146 in the world.

Following Australia, Bencic played in qualifying for the 2014 PTT Pattaya Open, defeating third seed Zarina Diyas in the first round,[28] but losing to fifth seed Alla Kudryavtseva in the final qualifying round.[28] Despite not having made the main draw, she rose to world No. 139 the following week.

In February, Bencic was nominated for the Swiss Fed Cup team for their World Group II tie against France. She won both her singles matches in straight sets, defeating Alizé Cornet[29] and Virginie Razzano, but lost the decisive fifth rubber in doubles, partnering Timea Bacsinszky, to Cornet and Kristina Mladenovic.[30][31] At the end of the month, Bencic failed to qualify for the Abierto Mexicano Telcel.[32]

Bencic was granted a wildcard for the 2014 BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, but lost in the first round to British qualifier Heather Watson in straight sets.[33][34][35] The appearance at Indian Wells, however, helped Bencic continue her rise up the rankings, as she reached a career high No. 137.

At the 2014 Family Circle Cup, Bencic made it through the two qualifying rounds to earn a place in the main draw. In the first round, she had a remarkable win over tenth seed Maria Kirilenko,[36] who she said she admired, "when I was younger, I had a poster on my wall of her, so it is very nice to win against her".[37] She continued her streak at the tournament by defeating Marina Erakovic in the second round,[38] and in the third round upset the highest-ranked teenager in the world, Elina Svitolina, in three sets, to reach her first WTA Tour quarterfinal.[39] Bencic then achieved the biggest win of her career by defeating Sara Errani, the third seed and 2012 French Open finalist, on the green clay of Charleston.[40] In the semifinals, Bencic lost to Jana Čepelová, who had beaten Serena Williams in the second round, in a third-set tiebreaker.[41][42] Her long run in the tournament guaranteed her a place in the top 100 of the world rankings,[42] peaking at world No. 91,[41] a position which could almost grant her a place in the main draw of the 2014 French Open.[41]

Later in April, Bencic played for Switzerland in their Fed Cup World Group II play-off, helping them to a 4–1 win over Brazil by winning one of her two singles rubbers and the dead doubles rubber with Viktorija Golubic.[43]

In May, Bencic qualified for the main the draw at the 2014 Mutua Madrid Open, where she lost to world No. 1, Serena Williams, in straight sets.[44] The next week she once again qualified for the main draw at the 2014 Internazionali BNL d'Italia. In the opening round, she racked up another win over a top-25 player, Russian Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova.[45] In the second round, she played 12th seed Flavia Pennetta, losing in three sets.[46][47] At the 2014 Nürnberger Versicherungscup, Bencic lost in the first round in straight sets to Mona Barthel.[48][49]

Ranked 80th in the world, Bencic was granted a direct acceptance into the main draw of the 2014 French Open – Women's Singles, losing to Venus Williams in the first round in straight sets.[50][51]

Bencic began her grass-court season at the Aegon Classic in Birmingham, winning her first-round match in straight sets over Donna Vekić,[52] but losing to defending champion Daniela Hantuchová in the second round.[53] She came through three rounds of qualifying for the 2014 Aegon International in Eastbourne, but lost to British wildcard Johanna Konta in the first round.[54] At Wimbledon, she reached the third round of singles with wins over Magdaléna Rybáriková and Victoria Duval, before losing to Simona Halep in straight sets.[55] Partnering Martin Kližan, she also reached the third round of mixed doubles,[56] but was less successful in women's doubles, losing to eventual runners-up Tímea Babos and Kristina Mladenovic with Bulgarian partner Tsvetana Pironkova in the second round.[57]

Bencic's summer hardcourt season got off to a slow start, losing in the first round of the İstanbul Cup to eventual champion Caroline Wozniacki without winning a single game.[58] She then received a wildcard for the Premier 5 tournament in Cincinnati, but once again lost her opening match, this time to Karin Knapp, also in straight sets.[59] In New Haven, she won three back-to-back matches to qualify,[60] but lost to Barbora Záhlavová-Strýcová in the first round in three sets having faced 39 break points in the match.[61]

At the US Open, Bencic defeated Belgian Yanina Wickmayer in straight sets on her US Open debut,[62] followed by a win over 31st seed Kurumi Nara in three sets.[63] In the third and fourth rounds respectively, Bencic recorded the first top-10 wins of her career,[3] defeating world No. 7 Angelique Kerber of Germany,[64] followed by a win over former world No. 1 and ninth seed Jelena Janković in straight sets[65] to become the youngest US Open quarterfinalist since her compatriot Martina Hingis in 1997.[65] Her run was ended by unseeded Peng Shuai of China,[66] but, as a result of her run to the last eight, Bencic entered the world's top 40 for the first time.[3]

Bencic's first tournament after the US Open was the 2014 Toray Pan Pacific Open in Tokyo where she beat Svetlana Kuznetsova in the first round[67] before losing in three sets to Lucie Šafářová.[68] She also played doubles with Martina Hingis at the event, but the pair lost in the quarterfinals to Cara Black and Sania Mirza.[69] Bencic then qualified for Beijing, losing to Ana Ivanovic in the first round.[70] In her last tournament of 2014, Bencic reached her first WTA tour final in Tianjin, where she lost in straight sets to fellow first-time finalist Alison Riske.[71]

On 17 November 2014, Bencic was named the WTA's Newcomer of the Year, receiving 56 out of a possible 58 media votes as well as 46% of the public fan vote. She ended the year ranked world No. 33.[72][73]

2015: First WTA title and first Premier 5 title

Bencic started her 2015 campaign in poor form, winning only three games each in first-round losses to Daria Gavrilova in Sydney and Julia Görges at the Australian Open.[74] After Switzerland's Fed Cup match in Sweden,[75] Bencic then played at the Diamond Games in Antwerp, where she lost a tough three-set match to Alizé Cornet despite winning the first set comfortably.[76]

Bencic earned her first WTA tour win of the year in Dubai over Karin Knapp, but lost heavily to Venus Williams,[77] and in Doha she failed to qualify.[78] She turned her form around in both Indian Wells and Miami, where she reached fourth round at both events. At Indian Wells, she beat Caroline Wozniacki in straight sets for her first win over a top-5 player,[79] but lost to Jelena Janković, despite leading by a break in the third set.[80] In Miami, she lost to Sloane Stephens in straight sets.[81]

In the clay court season, Bencic played six tournaments, but won just three matches.[82] A bit surprisingly three losses came against qualifiers.[83][84][85] In Prague, Bencic won her first doubles title alongside Kateřina Siniaková.[86] Fortunately, one of these three wins on clay came at the French Open, where she beat Daniela Hantuchová, but she lost in the next round to Madison Keys in straight sets.[87]

Bencic's grass-court season began at the Topshelf Open in the Netherlands, where she reached her second final. After saving three match points against Kristina Mladenovic,[88] she defeated second seed Jelena Janković in straights in the semifinal.[89] In the final, Bencic lost in straight sets to Camila Giorgi.[90] After a second-round loss in Birmingham, Bencic won her first WTA title in Eastbourne, after wins over Madison Keys, Eugenie Bouchard,[91] Caroline Wozniacki[92] and Agnieszka Radwańska in a three-set final.[93][94]

Bencic was seeded 30th at Wimbledon. She reached the fourth round for the first time, before losing to former world no. 1 Victoria Azarenka in straight sets.[95][96]

At the Citi Open, despite a second-round loss to Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, Bencic came back alive to pick up the doubles crown with Kristina Mladenovic without dropping a set the whole tournament. At the Rogers Cup in Toronto, Bencic defeated Eugenie Bouchard in the first round. She then upset World No. 5 Caroline Wozniacki in straight sets, followed by former Wimbledon finalist Sabine Lisicki and former Roland Garros champion Ana Ivanovic, to advance to the semifinals where she faced World No. 1 Serena Williams. Bencic came from 5–5 and 0–40 down in the second set and failed to serve out the match twice in the third set, despite being two points away from the win multiple times. She eventually beat Williams to advance to her first Premier 5 final. The win made Bencic the first teenager since Sloane Stephens to beat Williams (2013 Australian Open), and it also made her the youngest player to beat Williams since Maria Sharapova (2004 WTA Tour Championships). She then beat Simona Halep in three sets after Halep retired down 0–3 in the third set to win the biggest title of her career. All six players she had beaten were either Grand Slam finalists (Wozniacki, Lisicki, Halep and Bouchard) or champions (Williams and Ivanovic).

At the Western & Southern Open in Cincinnati, Bencic started out strong with wins over 11th seed Angelique Kerber and former top-10 player Flavia Pennetta to reach the third round, but was forced to retire after dropping the first set against seventh seed Lucie Šafářová.

Bencic competed at the US Open as the 12th seed. She easily beat Sesil Karatancheva in the first round, but survived a tough three setter against Misaki Doi in the second round, coming from a set and three match points down at 5–6 in the second set to advance to the third round where she lost to Venus Williams in straight sets, despite being up a break in the second set.

Bencic began her Asian hard court swing at the Toray Pan Pacific Open. She began her run with a double bagel win over Xu Yifan. She then beat Samantha Stosur in three sets and Garbiñe Muguruza in straight sets to advance to the semifinals. She beat the top seed, Caroline Wozniacki for the fourth straight time in straight sets to advance to her fourth final of the year. She lost to Agnieszka Radwańska in straight sets. Bencic next played at the Wuhan Open. She beat lucky loser Ajla Tomljanović in straight sets before retiring in the second round against Camila Giorgi. She then played at the China Open. She beat Madison Brengle in three sets before withdrawing from her next match against Mirjana Lučić-Baroni. Bencic ended the year at No. 14

2016: Top-10 debut, injuries, and mixed results

Bencic began her season at the Brisbane International. She easily beat Sara Errani before being upset in the second round by American qualifier Samantha Crawford in straight sets. Bencic next played at the Apia International Sydney. She beat Mirjana Lučić-Baroni, Tsvetana Pironkova, and Ekaterina Makarova to advance to the semifinals. In the semifinals, she retired with an illness against Mónica Puig after failing to win a single game in the first set. Bencic was seeded twelfth at the Australian Open. She made it to the fourth round with wins over Alison Riske, Tímea Babos, and Kateryna Bondarenko. In the fourth round, she lost to Maria Sharapova in straight sets.

Bencic was the top seed at the St. Petersburg Ladies' Trophy. She made it to the final with wins over Annika Beck, Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, and Daria Kasatkina. Due to her performance in St. Petersburg, Bencic ensured a place in the top 10 of the WTA rankings for the first time.[97] However, she was beaten in straight sets by Roberta Vinci in the final.

Bencic suffered back-to-back losses against lower-ranked players, Jelena Janković and Coco Vandeweghe, in Dubai and Doha, respectively.

After receiving a bye into the second round at the BNP Paribas Open, Bencic suffered a scare as she overcame Lauren Davis in three sets. However, she fell to Magdaléna Rybáriková in three sets in the third round. She was forced to retire from her second round match with Kristýna Plíšková at the 2016 Miami Open because of a lower back injury.

Bencic played her only clay court tournament at the 2016 Charleston Open. She was seeded second, but lost in the second round to qualifier Elena Vesnina in straight sets. Injuries kept her from playing 2016 French Open and many other clay tournaments.

She returned for the grass court season at the 2016 Ricoh Open. Bencic entered the tournament as the number one seed. She overcame two three set matches in the first and second round. She followed this with a straight set win over fellow Swiss player Viktorija Golubic in the quarterfinals. In the semifinals, she lost to her good friend Kristina Mladenovic in three sets. Injury plagued her once again during the 2016 Aegon Classic when she was forced to retire in the first round because of a thigh strain. Bencic lost to Elena Vesnina for the second time this year in the second round of the 2016 Aegon International. At the 2016 Wimbledon, Bencic beat grass specialist Tsvetana Pironkova in the first round. However, injuries would come back into play for her as she was forced to retire in the second round to qualifier Julia Boserup.

Playing Style

Bencic is a "clean ball striker." Her style of play is noticeably "Swiss" and similar to that of Martina Hingis. Bencic plays with a flatter forehand and a clean two-handed backhand. Her noticeable skill is in her ability to take the ball "on the rise" and redirect hard cross court balls into fast down-the-line shots. She appears to be mentored well and will become the new "Swiss Miss."
