NEW DELHI: Olympic champion Belinda Bencic will skip upcoming claycourt tournaments in Madrid and Rome due to “discomfort” in her hip but said she hopes to be fully fit for the French Open.
Bencic said she was hampered by the issue during the WTA Tour’s USA swing, which included her run to the Charleston Open final where she lost to Ons Jabeur in straight sets.
“I have some discomfort on my hip, which I struggled with during the USA swing as well, and need to take a little rest and recover to be back at 100% for Roland Garros,” Switzerland’s Bencic said on Instagram on Wednesday. Agencies
