Bad news from Belinda Bencic that has just announced she had a wrist operation to her left wrist.
Now ranked no.123, the Swiss had a terrible 2017 with a 1-7 win/loss record. Eventually, Belinda decided to be operated to her left wrist, and she will probably skip the rest of the season.
The announcement
The Swiss announced the operation on Twitter saying
“Hi guys, unfortunately I had to have surgery on my left wrist last week so I will be out of action for a few months. It was not an easy decision, but after careful thought and consideration with my team and doctors, we decided that doing it and fixing this problem now would help extend and enhance my career for many years to come. Thanks for your loyal support and I promise that I am planning to come back stronger and hungrier than ever!”
We wish all the best.
