Great stuff from Belinda Bencic that after a super season she has been voted as the Newcomer of the year.
The 17-year-old will definitely be one of the big names in the years to come. Belinda’s rank at the beginning of the year was 184 and she has managed to climb to the actual 32nd… and much more to come.
The youngster hasn’t won a tournament in 2014, but she has reached a final in Tianjin, she got to the quarters at the US Open and she has beaten solid players such as Pavlyuchenkova, Errani and Kirilenko, Jankovic, Kerber and Kutznetsova during the season.
BELINDA’S RUN AT THE US OPEN
Belinda had a low moment when she was double bagelled (6-0 6-0) from Wozniacki in the Istanbul first round, but that was part of learning how to cope with tough losses.
Belinda: It’s a great honor
The Swiss was elated by this well-deserved award It’s a great honor and privilege to have been voted the WTA’s Newcomer Of The Year for 2014. It has been a challenging and rewarding year for me and I hope to be able to build on my success from 2014 in the future. I have been watching top WTA players all my life and to have been able to be on the same court as some of the world’s greatest players is a dream come true. I hope to make as much progress in 2015 as I did this year. Thank you for voting for me!”
Next year in top20…at least
We definitely expect Belinda to break in the top20 in 2015 and we are looking forward to seeing it!
