At this Stage
Belinda Bencic reached the Wimbledon semifinals in 2025; nothing here suggested a step back. The 11th seed, a 6-2 6-1 winner over wild card Mika Stojsavljevic in round one, was made to work through a tight opening set by Wang Xinyu and then conceded nothing at all — 7-5 6-0 in 73 minutes, the second set a bagel, built on clinical serving and just 10 unforced errors. Wang, a Bad Homburg semifinalist in the run-up, matched her from the baseline for a set; Bencic's serve and error count did the rest. The Swiss advances to meet 19th seed Anna Kalinskaya, who survived a deciding-set tie-break to get there, in the last 32.

The briefing
Storylines
- Bencic, a Wimbledon semi-finalist in 2025, dropped just one game after taking the first set, closing with a second-set bagel.
- Wang, who had reached the semi-finals in Bad Homburg, had needed three sets to get past Elisabetta Cocciaretto in the first round.
- Bencic's efficiency on serve and low error count were the difference in an otherwise even hitting contest.
