Winning without Roger Federer: Belinda Bencic reaches Tokyo Olympic tennis final

India TV News  

Belinda Bencic and Swiss tennis are doing just fine without Roger Federer at the Olympics. After a short rest, Bencic was scheduled to play again later with Swiss partner Viktorija Golubic against the Brazilian pair of Laura Pigossi and Luisa Stefani in the semifinals of the doubles tournament. “Now I go to the doubles and I hope to do it again so it’s not over yet, but I can really, really enjoy this moment.” If she also wins in doubles, Bencic would become the fifth player to reach two finals at the same Olympics since tennis returned at the Games in 1988, joining Serena and Venus Williams, Andy Murray and Nicolas Massu. That left Bencic as Switzerland's most accomplished player in Tokyo and her performance represents a personal breakthrough for someone whose best Grand Slam result was reaching the semifinals at the 2019 U.S. Open.
