Belinda Bencic is one of the top favorites for the title at the WTA Charleston 2026... but she barely escaped to tell the tale. A tough challenge she had to face in the first round of the always unique American green clay, going up against a Dayana Yastremska with very high peaks of tennis. The duel, in the local prime time, showcased that confidence and dynamics work wonders, with the Swiss navigating the storm and advancing to the second round, not without struggling (6-2, 6-7(5), 6-3). There, she will face the Czech player Sara Beljek.
