Belinda Bencic has only won 2 matches for her hard-court season start after a 4-week break since Wimbledon.
At the WTA 250 tournament in Washington, the eastern Swiss are lost in the fight for the semi-finals.
With 6: 1, 6: 2, the only 19-year-old Coco Gauff clearly shows the limits.
The one-sided game in the US capital was over after 86 minutes. Belinda Bencic (WTA 15) had to admit defeat for the first time in the second comparison with tennis “prodigy” Coco Gauff (WTA 7). After a hard-fought 7: 6, 6: 7, 6: 2 success in early 2021 in the Auckland semi-finals, the game literally rushed past the Olympic champion when they met again.
With the second match point, the 19-year-old American scored 6:1, 6:2 against the 7-year-old challenger. In the lower half of the tableau, Gauff now takes the measure of the Russian Ludmilla Samsonowa (WTA 18) in the semifinals.
