Reigning Olympic gold medalist and WTA #14 Belinda Bencic, 26, is the latest top WTA player to announce baby news.
Reigning Olympic Gold medallist Belinda Bencic pregnant with her first child: "Expecting our little miracle soon"
WTAFriday, 03 November 2023 at 11:00
Reigning Olympic gold medallist, Belinda Bencic is expecting her first child and becomes the latest high-profile WTA star who will become a mother.
Bencic announced the news alongside her long-time partner and fitness coach, Martin Hromkovič. The couple started dating in November 2018 and are now set to become parents.
In a period in which the likes of Naomi Osaka, Angelique Kerber, Elina Svitolina have given birth and then returned, it remains to be seen yet if the World No.14 will return to tennis.
No further details have been confirmed in terms of when Bencic is expecting her first child, but it is safe to say that she will miss the Australian Open and likely the defense of her Olympic Games gold medal in Paris if she does return to action.
"Expecting our little miracle soon, we can’t wait to meet you," wrote Bencic in a post also shared on the profile of her partner Martin Hromkovič.
Superb season ends in superb news
She has had a superb season at times with two titles and returning to the top 10 in the process. But perhaps the writing was on the wall for Bencic who withdrew from Guadalajara last month after losing in the opening round of the San Diego Open.
This after reaching the Last 16 of the US Open where she lost to Sorana Cirstea, the surprise package of the tournament who defeated Elena Rybakina.
Congratulations to Belinda and Martin on their news!

- Why do you even publish this TwatCaster's PATHETIC stunt for attention? There's plenty of reasons why imbeciles like him are 'talking' and people like Iga Swiatek are 'walking the walk'. Tennisuptodate should be above this tripe.

- As for ITIA -- who, or what entity, oversees this untrustworthy organization?? Too many recent cases of suspensions over tests proving minimal stats at best. Neither Iga nor Simona showed even a hint at prolonged use. Sinner, we don't know because the secrecy was extreme. Now we find ITIA flat-out LIED about speaking directly with the manufacturer of the drug in question associated with Iga. Are we to believe ITIA can be trusted? Not according to the past few years of questionable corporate conduct. ITIA can no longer be trusted to fairly regulate nor investigate itself... so who or what will??mandoist06-12-2024
