It might be the fact that Belinda Bencic is still rather strong at just 16 years of age, or the fact that she also is Swiss or maybe the fact that she is coached by Martina’s mother… but there are definitely some similarities between the youngster and the Swiss legend.
Na Li has just beaten Belinda at the Australian Open, but she can see a bright future for her and the similarities with Martina were striking
“She played exactly like Martina Hingis,” said the world no.4 . “[Her serve is] More flat [than Martina] and deuce side was more slice. She has more control and I didn’t like the way she’s hitting the ball today, because she was use a lot of my power to move me and running a lot on the court.”
OK… let’s see now if also Belinda can win a couple of Slams in her upcoming career.
