Belinda Bencic, shortly back in Switzerland: “I always think: Was it always so nice here?”

On November 13th you won the Team World Cup in Glasgow, on December 29th the next season will start again for you with the United Cup in Australia. Did you have enough time to recover, Ms. Bencic?
After the Billie Jean King Cup (the team world championship) we immediately flew on vacation. But my emotions were still so high after Glasgow that I couldn’t switch off for the first two or three days. I had to say to myself: Hey, now go down and enjoy! So I put the phone down and read a book. I needed a place where I was forced to rest. That’s why we went to the Maldives. We were there for seven days, then it started again. First with sponsor appointments, then with physical tests and then with fitness and tennis training.
