She is also Federer’s close companion being a member of the Swiss tennis squad. Bencic has also heaped praises on the 20-time Grand Slam Champion for his various endeavors outside of the tennis court.

The official Instagram account of Mercedes-Benz Switzerland shared a video of the former world number four sharing her subtle feeling of being at home with the new Mercedes-AMG SL.
The caption reads, “The new Mercedes-AMG SL makes @belindabencic feel at home. How does it make you feel?”
Last year, after signing the deal with the 26-year-old tennis player, Mercedes CEO Mark Langenbrinck stated,“She ideally represents our brand because we are united by the pursuit of top performance and success.”
While her Swiss mentor singed a deal with the same car brand, back in 2008, and focused exclusively on Chinese audience. But just after two years in 2011, their collaboration became a global deal. Well, it won’t be wrong to say that Bencic is following her idol’s footsteps.
When the 26-year-old tennis player signed the deal with the car company, she shared an emotional note about her partnership.
