After skipping the Hopman Cup in Nice and the Ladies Open in Lausanne, Belinda Bencic (WTA 15) is back in business. The Olympic champion will be competing in the WTA 500 tournament in Washington, which begins on Monday.
Seeded No. 6, Belinda Bencic will meet Russian Anastasia Potapova (WTA 26). The two players have been opposed twice, in 2019 in Toronto where Belinda Bencic won and in 2021 in Dubai where Anastasia Potapova took her revenge.
Eighth finalist at Wimbledon against world No. 1 Iga Swiatek against whom she had benefited from two match points, Belinda Bencic has been suffering for weeks from chronic shoulder pain. However, she hopes to qualify for the Zhuhai Masters in China. His tenth place in the Race gives substance to such an ambition.
