Belinda Bencic Advances to Ningbo Second Round

Belinda Bencic advanced to the second round of the WTA 500 tournament in Ningbo, China, demonstrating a strong performance against Polish player Magda Linette. Bencic, currently ranked 14th by the WTA, secured a decisive victory with a score of 6-3, 6-2.

Bencic’s Strong Opening in Ningbo

Throughout the match, Bencic remained in control, winning all her service games without significant difficulty. In the first seven service games, she allowed her opponent only a single point.

This win marks Bencic’s first victory against a top 70 player since her semi-final appearance at Wimbledon in July. Since that tournament, she had struggled in her subsequent five events, managing only five singles wins.

Looking Ahead

Bencic is seeded sixth in the Ningbo tournament. In the round of 16, she is set to face either Yulia Putintseva from Kazakhstan or Yulia Starodubtseva from Ukraine, both of whom successfully emerged from the qualifying rounds.
