"Expecting our little miracle soon!" 🍼 The Hologic WTA Tour's sorority of moms is about to grow by one 👶 World No.14 and Tokyo Olympic champion @BelindaBencic announced her pregnancy with longtime boyfriend Martin Hromkovic.
Belinda Bencic still in Billie Jean King Cup Finals team for defending champions Switzerland despite pregnancy news
WTASaturday, 04 November 2023 at 05:30
Belinda Bencic remains in the Switzerland team for the Billie
Jean King Cup Finals tournament.
The 26-year-old, in a post on her official account on the social
media platform Instagram, broke the news of her pregnancy with the caption “Expecting
our little miracle soon! We can’t wait to meet you.”
Despite the news, Bencic remains in the Swiss team for the
upcoming event. The Swiss contingent will be defending their crown in the competition.
Therefore, it will be interesting to see whether Bencic will
remain a part of the group in the future or if the management decides
to call for a replacement.
Switzerland are placed in Group A alongside USA and 11-time
winning team Czech Republic.
Even if she misses out, the Swiss team will be more than hopeful
of retaining their title as they have the services of the likes of Viktorija
Golubic and Jil Teichmann as well.
Bencic has had a difficult year at the highest level where
despite playing in the main round of all four Grand Slams, she did not qualify for the quarterfinal or beyond in any of the mega events.
She played in the fourth round of three major
events — the Australian Open, Wimbledon and the US Open — and on all occasions, she
ended up second-best.

- My money is simply on fatigue. She's not the compact 'muscle-man'-type like perhaps Sabalenka, Swiatek or Sakkari. She's a player desperately longing for some kind of Djokovic rhythm. She should skip lots to win more majors. And the rumour I thought wasn't it Long Covid?MrAndreeva10-05-2024
- If there is some other reason, like exhaustion or self-preservation by not playing in consecutive tourneys, then simply say so. There's no shame in self preservation. Since the WTA obviously does not seriously consider a player's physical and mental stress as they schedule back-to-back majors, it's okay to adhere to such a healthy agenda and admit it. The illness thing is kind of suspect at this point; if only because of the timing pattern.
mandoist10-05-2024 - So, Elena Rybakina has again withdrawn due to illness (in Rome). Fans are concerned if this is truly a gastrointestinal issue. Why the secrecy? Is it truly an illness causing these withdrawals? It may be helpful -- even encouraging -- for others whom also suffer whatever illness is ongoing here to know what she is dealing with; and how. A form of Colitis? Ulcers? What's up? Timing has been last minute. It's a bummer all around.mandoist10-05-2024
- Tennis is ridiculous to maintain the tradition of silence. If they can play in open courts like Rome with all the noise from each court they surely could survive cheering, etc., during play (i.e., a singles match with only a 2 meter fence between them and a men's doubles -- and very loud noise from each side).mandoist10-05-2024
