We often say that "motherhood is rigidity", and Bencic, a Swiss player who has returned from childbirth, shows soft strength with a more patient style of play and a pleasing line change. This helped her win her first comeback title at the WTA Abu Dhabi four months after giving birth, soaring 92 places to 65th.

At the WTA 500 Abu Dhabi station, Bencic defeated Rybakina in three sets in the semifinals, lost one set 4-6 in the final, and then reversed the match with two 6-1 defeats against American player Kruger.

Bencic took a break from the WTA Tour from September 2023 onwards and did not return until October 2024 at an ITF W75 tournament in Germany. In December 2024, the off-season for most players will be Bencic's recovery period, and she played as a wild card and finished runner-up at the WTA 125K Angers in France, which is a positive sign for her comeback.

In 2025, Bencic arrives at the first stop of the new year, the United Cup, and she is ranked 487th. She then passed the qualifying round at the WTA 500 Adelaide and reached the second round of the main event. In the third round of the Australian Open, Bencic and Naomi Osaka staged a high-quality duel between mother-level players, and in the fourth round, Bencic and Gauff fought in three sets to finally reach the top 16 of the Australian Open women's singles.

Now, just 40 days into 2025, Bencic is back in the 65th ranking. Such a comeback road can be described as solid and silky.

In the third set of the Abu Dhabi final, the commentator for the International Signal praised Bencic for maintaining good physical fitness. In his second straight three-set match, Bencic remained highly focused and patient more than usual against tough opponents. This may have something to do with her husband, Martin, who also works as a physical trainer.

After cashing in the championship point, Bencic threw away his racket and looked at his team in the stands in disbelief. Coach Ivan Hughes has a smile on his face, her husband and physical trainer Martin has his arms held high, and on his chest is the baby Bella in a baby carrier.

At the award ceremony, Bencic said emotionally:"It's hard to put into words, I think only we know what our family has been through."

"We feel blessed and grateful that Bella is present in our lives. I can continue to do what I want to do. ”Born in 1997, the Swiss prodigy has reached a world high of fourth, winning gold in women's singles and silver in women's doubles at the Tokyo Olympics four years ago. Her weapons are her high ball quotient and excellent reading of the game, and sometimes this dexterity can't find a way to win in the face of strength, so Bencic is impatient, and the long-lost game point ends with her opponent breaking serve, and the match collapses, and the accumulated advantage is wasted. After becoming a mother at the age of 27, Bencic has played more patiently and emotionally stable, which has allowed her line-changing skills to remain unmatched in fast-paced offense and defense.

In her post-match interview, Bencic expressed her light appearance:"I feel like I'm able to play with more clarity and put less pressure on myself. I tried to do my best, but it felt like it was always me who was holding me back in the past. Now I'm really working hard and I still think I can achieve more. ”

The dream continues, and Bencic continues to do what he loves after becoming a mom. They are a small family on the tour, and tennis is the family's dream.

Bencic and Martin took Bella on a trip, and on the morning of the semifinals, she took her to the aquarium. Before the finals, she warmed up by pedaling her bike outside, and her daughter was playing in front of her.(Source: Tennis Home Author: Yuyu)
