Belinda Bencic did something that seemed fairly unlikely by winning the Gold Medal at the Tokyo
Olympic Games.
Bencic has had an up and down season from start to finish with her best matches coming on the grass weeks ahead of the Olympic Games. The Swiss player is a capable player which she showed by reaching the US Open semifinal earlier in her career.
The Gold medal was not the only medal Bencic brought back home to Switzerland. Together with Viktorija Golubic, she had a chance to win the doubles gold as well but they got beaten by Krejcikova and Siniakova. Nonetheless bringing two tennis medals back to Switzerland was unexpected and fans showed their appreciation.
Bencic was greeted by a sizeable crowd at the airport when she arrived back home to Switzerland. Check out the video of the welcome below.
