Belinda Bencic: Swiss tennis women are world number 1

The Swiss women’s tennis team is now at the top of the national rankings, making Switzerland number one in the world for the first time in history. Not even the men who won the Davis Cup in 2014 could do that. The team around Belinda Bencic recently overtook the leading Australia and that without having played.

Coach Heinz Günthardt’s team had held second place since November, when the Swiss team won the Billie Jean King Cup. Bencic achieved this triumph with Viktorija Golubic, Jil Teichmann and Simona Waltert.‌ (product)
