Belinda Bencic in the second round of the US Open.

With Belinda Bencic, at least one Swiss woman has reached the second round of the US Open. St. Gallen’s No. 13 fights against veteran German Andrea Petkovic (WTA 104) despite a mixed winning performance of 6:2, 4:6, 6:4.

Last year’s quarter-finalists and 2019 semi-finalists got off to a great start in the scorching sun of over 30 degrees and immediately won the top eight points. Only then did the 34-year-old Petkovic, who will be ending her career in the next few weeks, balance the game. In the second round, Bencic made up a 1:4 deficit, but gave it up again.
