Hot news with Venus Williams knocked out by Belinda Bencic.

Belinda Bencic was born on 10 March 1997. She is a Swiss professional tennis player. She has won two singles and two doubles titles on the WTA Tour. In the first round of the Australian Open 2017, Belinda Bencic outstandingly defeated Venus Williams to surprise everyone.

It is estimated that the 20-year-old Swiss made the big deal on Melbourne's opening day with a 6-3 7-5 victory, although she was only 78th in the world.

The most pressing thing was to play with a famous player such as Venus Williams, but perhaps the extraordinary and continuous effort helped Belinda Bencic win a glorious victory in an hour and 55 minutes.

It was good news when Belinda Bencic teamed up with Roger Federer to win the Hopman Cup for Swiss Switzerland earlier this month.

More information about Belinda Bencic:

In 2015, Bencic won the Aegon International, her first singles title on the WTA Tour, beating Agnieszka Radwańska in the final. This caused her singles ranking to rise into the top 20. She won the biggest title of her career at the Rogers Cup the same year, beating four top-ten players Caroline Wozniacki, Ana Ivanovic, world No. 1 Serena Williams, and Simona Halep en route.

Bencic is coached by her father Ivan, who emigrated to Switzerland from Czechoslovakia in 1968, and on occasion by Melanie Molitor, the mother of fellow Swiss tennis player Martina Hingis. Marcel Niederer was her manager until October 2016.

After an injury-plagued year in 2016, Bencic failed to produce good results again in the first half of 2017. At the Australian Open, Bencic drew 2nd seed Serena Williams in the opening round and lost in straight sets to the eventual champion. Shortly after, Bencic returned to St. Petersburg, where she had reached the final in 2016, but lost her opening match to Daria Kasatkina in straight sets.

The defeat meant she dropped out of the top 100 for the first time since April 2014. She then went on to lose in Mexico to AO 2017's semifinalist, Mirjana Lucic-Baroni, in straight sets. Bencic was then signed on as a drawcard at the inaugural WTA tournament in Biel, but failed to get past the first round in singles or doubles. Her ranking subsequently dropped to No. 199. Thereafter, Bencic did not play any tournaments for five months.

She returned to competition at the Neva Cup in Saint Petersburg, a $100,000 ITF event. Advancing to the final with the loss of only one set against Anhelina Kalinina in the semifinals, she defeated Dayana Yastremska in straight sets for the title. The win marked Bencic's first tournament since 2015.

She made her comeback at the WTA level in Linz, where she defeated Kirsten Flipkens and Lara Arruabarrena before dropping to Mihaela Buzărnescu in the quarterfinals. She ended the season on a high note winning back to back WTA 125K series tournaments in Hua Hin & Taipei and another ITF title in Dubai.

Thanks to these results, she finished the season inside top 100, as No. 74.

With youthful, beautiful and impressive performances, Belinda Bencic is sure to be on the road to the glory of her international tennis career.
