There was tension this morning between Belinda Bencic and Cori Gauff in the round of 16 of the Beijing WTA 1000. The Swiss started strong, but gradually the American found her footing in the battle, eventually turning the tables in the outcome of the second set. Bencic deflated, while Coco gained confidence to complete a comeback (4-6, 7-6, 6-2) that allows her to continue fighting for the title she is defending.
Moreover, this victory enables Gauff to qualify once again for the 2025 Riad WTA Finals, another event that the American will have to defend at the end of the season. Prior to this, she needed this last boost of points to secure her spot in the tournament. She will be pleased with today's outcome, as all her plans worked out perfectly.
