Belinda Bencic is making headlines once again, matching her personal best winning streak at the prestigious Australian Open. The talented Swiss player currently holds a winning streak of 12 consecutive matches, a record she first achieved in 2019.
Recent Achievements
Bencic recently showcased her exceptional skills at the United Cup, earning the title of tournament MVP. She played a crucial role in leading Switzerland to the finals with an impressive overall record of 9 wins and only 1 loss. This includes a flawless 5-0 in singles matches.
Performance at the Australian Open
As the No. 10 seed at the Australian Open, Bencic commenced her tournament with a commanding victory, defeating Katie Boulter with a score of 6-0, 7-5. This win has contributed to her current streak, which has not seen defeat since she lost to Jasmine Paolini in the quarterfinals of the Ningbo tournament last October.

Career Highlights
Bencic’s journey back to the top is remarkable. After returning from maternity leave in October 2024, she has climbed back into the Top 10 of the PIF WTA Rankings for the first time since March 2023. Notably, she won her 10th career WTA title in Tokyo and reached the quarterfinals in Hong Kong. A left thigh injury prevented her from continuing in Hong Kong but did not interrupt her winning streak.
Future Matches
Looking ahead, Bencic is set to face either Daria Kasatkina or qualifier Nikola Bartunkova in the second round of the Australian Open. A victory would extend her winning streak, setting a new career record.
