Belinda Bencic (born 10 March 1997) is a Swiss tennis player who is ranked World No. 48 in singles on 9 January 2017. Bencic has won two singles and two doubles titles on the Women's Tennis Association (WTA) tour, as well as two singles and two doubles titles on the circuit organized by the International Tennis Federation. Marcel Niederer is her manager.

In 2012, Bencic made her debut for the Switzerland Fed Cup team,

The following year, she won the French Open and Wimbledon girls' singles titles. Bencic also reached the quarterfinals of the 2014 US Open, defeating two top-ten players along the way, including former World No. 1 Jelena Janković. This propelled her singles ranking into the top 40 for the first time in her career.

In 2015, Bencic won the Aegon International, her first singles title on the WTA Tour, beating Agnieszka Radwańska in the final. This caused her singles ranking to rise into the top 20.

She won the biggest title of her career at the 2015 Rogers Cup, beating four top-ten players: Caroline Wozniacki, Ana Ivanovic, World No. 1 Serena Williams, and Simona Halep en route.

Bencic is coached by her father who emigrated to Switzerland from Czechoslovakia in 1968, and on occasion by Melanie Molitor, the mother of fellow Swiss tennis player Martina Hingis.
