Belinda Bencic will play in the Wimbledon round of 16 this afternoon after a first week of competition where she has shone brightly. The Swiss, last year's semifinalist, once again demonstrated her mental strength to survive one of those matches that define a tournament and confirmed that she still feels at home on the grass of the All England Club.

Far from just focusing on the result, Bencic acknowledged that her recent victory over Anna Kalinskaya had an important emotional component. "In those moments, you go into survival mode, and when it's over, you feel a huge weight lifted off your shoulders. It's a good test to challenge yourself mentally too," she explained in her interview with Tennis Channel. She even joked after the match: "It was to keep my team on the edge of their seats and provide a bit of a show."

Belinda Bencic and a very special motivation at Wimbledon

Beyond tennis, the main protagonist of her Wimbledon is her daughter Bella. During the match, Bencic didn't hesitate to return the greetings from the court when her little one blew kisses from the stands. "I know I'm playing, but I can't not greet her. It relaxes me a lot during the match, and these are precious moments," she confessed.

The Olympic champion also explained how she is experiencing this stage of her career balancing competition with motherhood. "My priority is to be with her as much as possible. I'm lucky to be able to bring her with me to all the tournaments, be there when she wakes up and when she goes to sleep." With laughter, she mentioned that Bella enjoys the kindergarten set up at Wimbledon and even tries to imitate her serve during practice.

At 29, Bencic ensures she enjoys every stage of her journey. "Now they call me a veteran, even though I'm only 29 years old," she commented with laughter. Aware that the end of her career is closer than the beginning, she prefers to live in the present. And she does it, moreover, in the tournament she always dreamed of playing: "Every time I walk through the gates of Wimbledon, I still get goosebumps. It's the tournament I admired the most as a child."
