Belinda's staff currently incudes her father and did so earlier in her career too
Belinda Bencic is a Swiss professional tennis player. She has a career-high ranking of No. 4 by the WTA which she achieved in February 2020. Bencic has won four singles and two doubles titles on the WTA Tour.
From 2016 through 2018, Bencic struggled with a variety of injury issues, most notably needing to have wrist surgery in 2017 that kept her out for five months and saw her ranking drop outside the top 300. Nonetheless, she rebounded quickly and rose back into the top 50 within a year of her comeback. She then posted her best season to date in 2019, winning her second Premier 5 title at the Dubai Tennis Championships reaching her first Grand Slam semifinal at the US Open, qualifying for her first WTA Finals where she reached the semifinals, and finishing the year inside the top 10 for the first time, which helped her win the WTA Comeback Player of the Year award.
Bencic is currently working with Sebastian Sachs although her father, Ivan, sometimes serves as her tennis coach, and her boyfriend Martin Hromkovic as her fitness coach. Martin Hromkovic plays a vital role in not only the personal life of the Swiss star but also her professional life.
Hromkovic is of Slovakian descent. Whenever Bencic is working on her fitness in Slovakia, the couple is able to spend time with each other. However, one question that would be popping in everyone’s mind is – How do they separate their personal and professional life?
Well, according to Bencic, the couple is able to do that easily. “When I work, I really see him as a coach. I hope it stays that way. For him, the job is done when I’m fit. Martin was an athlete himself, a footballer. So he understands well when I’m nervous or tense.”
Yes, you read that right. Apart from being a fitness trainer, Hromkovic is also a former football player.
