Early life and background

[edit]

Junior career

[edit]
  • "the first of which coming while she was still 14 years old." - at aged 14.
  • "Bencic became the first to win the girls' singles titles" - first player
  • "She was also the first Swiss girl to win a junior Grand Slam singles title since Martina Hingis in 1994," - try; She was also the first Swiss girl since Martina Hingis in 1994 to win a junior Grand Slam singles title.
  • "who won the same two titles that year." - I believe this section of text is redundant as the article is about Bencic and not concerning Hingis
    • I left it because it's natural for the reader to want to know which title(s) Hingis had won.
  • "Bencic's win streak was ended" - Bencic's run of victories

2011–14: Newcomer of the Year, US Open quarterfinal at 17

[edit]

2015: Maiden WTA title, Premier 5 title, world No. 12

[edit]
  • "She qualified for the WTA Elite Trophy, the second-tier year-end championship, but withdrew due to injury." - Was this because of Bencic's leg and hand injuries as mentioned in the previous sentence? If so than it will be to be added for clarity

2016–17: Top 10 debut, injury layoffs

[edit]

2018–19: Slow ascent back into top 20, end of WTA title drought

[edit]
  • "For the third consecutive year, Bencic was forced to miss a few consecutive months due to injury, this time because of a stress fracture in her foot. This injury kept her out from mid-March to late May." - I believe that these sentences could be more concise. How about A stress fracture in Bencic's foot sidelined her from mid-March to late May 2018.?
    • Changed to "For the third consecutive year, Bencic was forced to miss a few consecutive months due to injury. A stress fracture in her foot sidelined her from mid-March to late May." Sportsfan77777 (talk) 08:56, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • "The title helped her rise from No. 45 all the way to No. 23 in the world." - rise from No. 45 to world No. 23.
  • "Bencic produced another Premier Mandatory semifinal at the Bencic produced another Premier Mandatory semifinal at the Madrid Open." - I feel that there is a chunk of information missing from this sentence and the structure of the sentence could do with a rework.
