Belinda Bencic (pronounced [ˈbelinda ˈbentʃitʃ]; born 10 March 1997) is a Swiss professional tennis player. She has been ranked by the Women's Tennis Association (WTA) as high as world No. 4 in singles, which she achieved on 17 February 2020, and No. 59 in doubles, attained on 1 February 2016. She is the current No. 1 Swiss in women's singles. Bencic has won ten Tour singles titles, the most significant being a gold medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. She also earned two doubles trophies on the WTA Tour, as well as a mixed doubles title at the 2026 Indian Wells Open, partnering with Flavio Cobolli. A former junior world No. 1, Bencic won two junior major singles titles in 2013 at the French Open and Wimbledon. On the professional tour, she made her top 100 debut shortly after turning 17. Her breakthrough came at the 2014 US Open, where she became the youngest quarterfinalist since Martina Hingis in 1997. Bencic won her first two WTA Tour titles in 2015, including the Canadian Open where she defeated four of the top six players in the world. She then made her top-ten debut the following year aged 18. From 2016 through 2018, Bencic struggled with a variety of injuries, dropping outside the top 300 in the rankings. She then posted her best season to date in 2019: winning her second Premier-5 title at the Dubai Championships, reaching her first major semifinal at the US Open, qualifying for her first WTA Finals (where she reached the semifinals), and finishing the year inside the top 10 for the first time, which helped her win the WTA Comeback Player of the Year award. In 2021, Bencic won her biggest career title by claiming the gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics, also winning silver in the women's doubles. Following a maternity leave starting in September 2023, Bencic returned to the tour in 2024.
