Belinda Bencic made an interesting reflection after reaching the third round of Roland Garros 2026, where she said she feels very comfortable due to the extreme heat that enhances her tennis skills. As a result, the Swiss player drew a comparison between the current state of women's and men's tennis.

"Nowadays, the players are trying to play with much more spin and heavier balls. Especially among the top players on the circuit, you can notice that the ball travels very fast, but it also feels much heavier when it comes to you. I feel that this trend comes from trying to play a tennis game that is increasingly physical and more similar to the men's game. I think women's tennis is indeed evolving a lot in that direction.

"Previously, with players like Halep, Kerber, Jankovic, or Pennetta, tennis was much more about enduring the rally and tactically constructing the point. It was more of a battle of consistency and patience. Right now, you hit a short ball, and you practically know you have to start running because everyone tries to step in and attack. Hardly anyone believes they can win just by playing defensively. All are constantly seeking to be aggressive."
