Belinda Bencic is a Swiss pro tennis player who is currently ranked number 4 by the Women’s Tennis Association(WTA). She has six WTA Tour singles titles, including a gold medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, and two doubles titles.
Her big break came in 2014 when she became the youngest quarterfinalist since Martina Hingis in 1997.
Melanie Molitor, the mother, and coach of world No. 1 Swiss tennis player Martina Hingis has been coaching Bencic since she was five years old. Before becoming an insurance broker, her father was a professional hockey player in the Swiss National League A and B.
When she was seven years old, her family relocated to Wollerau, where Molitor had recently opened her own academy, so she could train there every day. She also spent six months at Nick Bollettieri’s Florida academy, where she won several under-10 tournaments.
