Belinda Bencic had an incredible run at the US Open last year. She reached her first Grand Slam semi-final at the event where she lost to eventual champion Bianca Andreescu. Considering her commendable performance last year, many would expect her to play at the event this year as well but she isn’t too sure. In a recent interview with Tages-Anzeiger, she said,
“I would be happy to play a Grand Slam tournament again. But New York and the United States are very special right now. We would be living in a bubble, but security no one can guarantee you. So, I personally think it would be a bit early to play there – although maybe I would also play. I can think of but not really imagine that it really is the US Open through them. I am not too keen on getting on the plane under these rules and conditions. I’d rather go somewhere by car.”
