Belinda Bencic signed one of the most surprising results so far in Indian Wells 2025, eliminating Coco Gauff who, besides being the favorite in the match, was playing as the local tennis player in the Californian tournament. Right after the result was confirmed, the American tennis player, ranked number three in the world, went to the press conference to try to explain her defeat.

"I had a lot of opportunities, especially in the last two games, but she is a very tough opponent," confessed the American. "She's playing great tennis. Overall, I also don't feel like it's that bad of a result. I started the year well in the United Cup and in Australia, I lost in the quarterfinals against Paula. The Middle East tour wasn't too good for me."

"Here, I lost 4-6 in the third set in the fourth round against a tough opponent who just won a WTA 500 (in Dubai). Of course, I wanted to do better, I wanted better results, but it's not something I can beat myself up over. I'm trying to improve, that's all I can do. I'm trying to work on things in training, and unfortunately, at this moment, it's not translating as I would like."

Changes in her serve

"Everything is connected. We've made many changes in the serve. I don't want to go into details, but yes. I still think I could have served better. Obviously, I was more consistent, but I definitely want to be more aggressive with the service. It's an improvement, and I hope I can continue to do better from now on."

Tactical margin to improve

"Today, against Belinda, it was challenging because she hits the ball very low and flat, so it's difficult to hit it as I would like, but I made some mistakes in the last match and also in the one before. This is one of those things where I have to look for more margin. I think there is a balance, but today, honestly, I felt that I let her dictate a lot from the backhand corner. It's something I don't want to happen, especially since I feel like that's the corner where I should be in control."
