Belinda Bencic proves her bite in the 6: 4, 6: 4 against Madison Keys and is in the last 8 at the clay court tournament in Charleston.
The in-form Belinda Bencic immediately found her footing on sand after reaching the semi-finals a week ago at the hard court tournament in Miami. In her 3rd game at the WTA 500 tournament in Charleston, around 800 km away, unpredictable weather and a rain break could not upset the eastern Swiss.
The Olympic champion held her ground against local Madison Keys, who is ranked just 3 positions down as world No. 24. After 94 minutes of competition and effectively around 3 hours, the 6:4, 6:4 was a fact.
Bencic avoids a 3rd set
In the first round, which was balanced for a long time and at the same time tough, Bencic used her first break chance to make it 5: 4 and then got the set dry with the 4th chance. Dry: You could no longer say that from the field, which is why the patience of the athletes was put to the test.
When the game resumed, Keys was the first to push. But Bencic was able to make up for a break deficit to make it 4: 4 and went through afterwards. In the quarterfinals, the 25-year-old will face the Spaniard Paula Badosa (WTA 3) or Claire Liu (WTA 89), another American.
