This is how the WTA Rome 2025 draw looks with the qualifiers from the previous round: Sakkari-Bencic in the first round!

Something strange must be happening for us to have in the first round of the WTA 1000 in Rome 2025 a match between Maria Sakkari and Belinda Bencic. In this scenario, the curious thing is that the player coming from the qualifying rounds is the Greek and not the Swiss, who returned to the circuit at the end of last season after becoming a mother, but in record time has managed to regain her status within the top 40, while Sakkari is currently hovering around the top 80. After an exceptional day, this is how the women's bracket has ended definitively, with multiple first-round matches that are quite interesting.

Keys remains unbeaten in 2025 and reaches the semifinals of Indian Wells after crushing Bencic

There is no stopping Madison Keys, who continues her unstoppable run in the beginning of 2025, which will be unforgettable for the American. So far, she remains undefeated, stringing together 16 consecutive victories. The latest one came after she overwhelmed one of the tournament's revelations, Belinda Bencic (6-1, 6-1 in 1 hour and 5 minutes) from start to finish. The Swiss couldn't do anything against the whirlwind of play from the Australian Open champion, who advances to the semifinals of Indian Wells 2025 and sends a serious warning to the rest of her competitors. Furthermore, she might face Aryna Sabalenka, setting up a repeat of the Melbourne final.

Bencic Joins the Prestigious List of Tennis Players Who Reached the Quarterfinals of Indian Wells with a 'Wildcard'

Belinda Bencic's journey in Indian Wells 2025 is worthy of praise. The Swiss player has reached the quarter-finals of the Californian tournament by defeating one of the favorites, Coco Gauff (3-6, 6-3, 6-4) in the round of 16, and she did it with a 'Wildcard'. But there is even more praise when considering that just a year ago she gave birth to her son. What's more, she joins a list of players who made it to the quarter-finals of Indian Wells after receiving a 'Wildcard'. Among these are great players like: Elena Bovina (2001), Martina Hingis (2006), Serena Williams (2015), Bianca Andreescu (2019), and Caroline Wozniacki (2024).
