Swiss tennis professional Belinda Bencic has offered her assessment of her performance at the 2025 Wimbledon Championships, where she reached the semi-final stage.
For Bencic, her deep run at the prestigious grass-court Grand Slam represented a significant achievement beyond just match wins. “I took a lot of positive things from this tournament,” she stated, highlighting a crucial personal milestone. “I achieved my goal of returning to the Top 20.” This accomplishment underscores the importance of ranking objectives in a player`s season, framing her Wimbledon campaign as a success in meeting a key professional target.
Reflecting further on her time at the All England Club, Bencic expressed satisfaction with her mental approach. She reported being in “a great psychological state,” indicating a solid foundation that supported her progress through the draw. This positive mindset, combined with achieving her ranking goal, has left her feeling “very motivated” to continue her upward trajectory and compete effectively in subsequent tournaments.
Bencic`s journey at Wimbledon concluded in the semi-finals against the top seed, Iga Swiatek. The match ended with a decisive scoreline of 2/6, 0/6 in favor of the Pole. Bencic was candid in her analysis of the encounter, acknowledging the stark difference in performance on the day. “Iga showed a different level,” Bencic admitted. “She played very well and didn`t give me a single chance to get into the match.” While she maintained she “gave everything,” the reality of facing an opponent playing at peak performance was clear. “She was too strong, and I was a step below,” she concluded with a frank assessment, a common, if sometimes starkly presented, reality when encountering a dominant force at the top of the game.
Despite the nature of her semi-final exit, Bencic remained focused on the overall success of her tournament. Reaching the last four at Wimbledon and, critically, achieving her stated goal of re-entering the WTA Top 20 rankings provided a significant source of pride. “But I am proud of my performance,” she affirmed, concluding her reflections on a productive and goal-achieving Wimbledon appearance.
