In Coco Gauff's victory over Belinda Bencic in the round of 16 at WTA Beijing 2025 this morning, a key turning point to understand the score narrative. Within the comeback (4-6, 7-6, 6-2), there was a moment at the end of the second set where the Swiss completely lost control of the match. According to her, her opponent's team was playing dirty, trying to disrupt her on service points to benefit their player.

Here is the image that proves it, the heated moment from the benches where Belinda accuses Coco's team of using 'mind games' to sway the outcome, with the circumstance that at 28 years old she has many miles on her legs to look the other way. She was right in identifying what was happening, although in the end, it was Gauff who got her way.
