Belinda Bencic (WTA 35) saved the Swiss honor on Tuesday in Wimbledon. The St-Galloise even got up without the slightest difficulty in the 2nd round on the London lawn.
Last representative of Swiss Tennis in the running after the eliminations of Leandro Riedi, Viktorija Golubic and Jil Teichmann, Belinda Bencic won 6-0 6-3 in 1h03 ‘in front of the American Alycia Parks (WTA 60) in the 1st round in Church Road. She won the first eight games of a one -way meeting.
The Olympic champion therefore reassured herself fully for her second match played since her abandonment on May 7 in Rome and her injury to one hand. Last week in Bad Homburg, she only scored three games against Russian Ekaterina Alexandrova for her return to business.
Belinda Bencic only experienced one small alert on the court No 16, at 6-0 4-3 on his service. Alycia Parks then obtained her only two break balls recorded in this match, without managing to convert one of them. The 29 direct faults committed by the American have it is true weighed heavy.
Bencic should learn more about its potential in the 2nd round against Magda Linette (no 27) or Elsa Jacquemot (WTA 113). The elimination of seeded no 3 Jessica Pegula, which she could have found in the 3rd round, also offers her certain perspectives in this fortnight.
