Despite a little scare at the end, Belinda Bencic secured her place in the round of 16 of the Australian Open. The Saint-Galloise lost in 2 sets of the Italian Camila Giorgi (ATP 70) 6-2 7-5.
Author of a rather solid performance, despite a break conceded when concluding at 6-2 5-4, the winner of the recent Adelaide tournament climbed for the second time in her career in the second week in Melbourne following the edition 2016 (then eliminated by Maria Sharapova).
Belinda Bencic, who did not concede a single set in her first two rounds, will face the winner of the match Sabalenka-Mertens. It has been since the US Open 2021 that the Swiss has not experienced a second week in a Grand Slam tournament.
