The 2026 season has kicked off in explosive fashion for Belinda Bencic, with the Swiss star winning all five of her singles matches at the United Cup.

Despite Switzerland's defeat to Poland in the final, Bencic was named MVP (best player of the competition) by the organizers.

A Stellar Return to the Top 10

This momentum earned her 500 points and propelled her back into the top 10 on Monday—a spot she hadn't occupied in nearly three years, since March 2023.

For context, Bencic returned to competition last season, just months after giving birth to her daughter, Bella. She becomes only the second mother to crack the top 10 after Serena Williams in 2021.
