Belinda Bencic has a career baseline win percentage of nearly 56% on hard courts, yet her current trajectory shows a decline. Over the last two years, she has struggled to maintain her form, which is reflected in her recent matches. Bencic's serve has been inconsistent, and she will need to find her rhythm quickly to make an impact in this tournament.
In her last two outings at Wimbledon, Bencic secured straight-set victories against Xin Wang and M. Stojsavljevic, both by 2-0 scores. However, prior to that, she faced a draw against Harriet Dart and a loss to Elina Svitolina at the French Open. With no wins in her last five matches overall, Bencic's upcoming match against Anna Kalinskaya carries significant weight; a loss could further compound her struggles this season.
