Swiss tennis player Belinda Bencic is a fighter. After months of embracing motherhood, this WTA star wants to get back to her professional endeavors. While figuring out her path back to her career, Bencic made a confession that has inspired many young mothers. Is she taking the path of champions like Taylor Townsend or Serena Williams?

Bencic took time off the court to embrace her new role as a mother. The Tokyo Olympics champion welcomed her baby girl Bella with her fitness trainer and partner Martin Hromkovic last November. Five months after her daughter’s birth, the Swiss WTA star revealed her desire to return to her professional career. Months after introducing Bella to her followers with an adorable Instagram post, the tennis community remained amazed by Bencic’s indomitable spirit.

According to the SRF Sports media publication, this Swiss player laid bare one of her biggest career goals—winning one of the four major tournaments. She also believes motherhood won’t be an obstacle since she has learned to separate her work and private life. “I can now separate my private life and my career better, my priority is Bella and tennis is almost secondary. In the past, I often fought against myself on the court. It may be that this will relieve me of some of the pressure,” she said.

Not only did Bencic assure her supporters with a confident outlook regarding her professional goals, but she also surprised them with an interesting confession. “I still believe that I can win a Grand Slam tournament,” said the Swiss WTA star, fueling the tennis community’s hope for her comeback.

While Bencic’s recent revelations brought joy to her followers, she did not specify any particular tournament for her upcoming participation. However, she did mention a tournament she would like to compete in the future.

This Swiss player’s recent statements showed her determination to return to her professional career. She mentioned beginning her training two months after Bella’s birth. Initially starting with light exercises, her routine gradually intensified under the guidance of her partner Hromkovic, who also serves as her fitness coach. While talking about her preparations over the past months, Bencic dropped a wish that left the tennis fans in awe. “I want to play in the Billie Jean King Cup in November,” she said.

Though confident about her return to tennis, she acknowledges the need to listen to her body, as she is still engaged in the important task of breastfeeding her child. However, her desire demonstrates resilience that could fuel her future performance.

Belinda Bencic’s dream of winning a Grand Slam trophy is an inspiration. Despite the challenges of motherhood, the WTA star has not lost hope and remains motivated to return to the sport she loves. Bencic’s indomitable spirit encourages others to pursue their dreams while prioritizing family. If the Swiss player makes a successful comeback, she will exemplify how to balance personal and professional life.
