Bencic Begins Title Defence
Bencic had made a solid start to the 2023 season with a title win at the Adelaide International and then another one in Abu Dhabi. Since then, however, things seem to have fizzled out a little and the Swiss number one hasn’t quite lived up to that initial start.
She had to withdraw from her Doha quarterfinal because of fatigue and has followed it up with just two wins from five matches spread across three tournaments. Early defeats in both, the Indian Wells Open and the Miami Open would have left her slightly nonplussed.
Still, Bencic now returns to the venue of her only title last season and despite not featuring in a lot of tournaments on clay, she has done reasonably well on it in the last few years.
A third round appearance is her best showing at the French Open and that’s something she would like to turn around. And a good start to the clay court swing could go a long way in helping her do just that.

Sebov Topples Davis
While Sebov has been one of the in-form players at the lower-level and has in fact risen to her career-best ranking of 148th in the world, she had started off a second favourite against Lauren Davis when the duo met in the opener here.
When Sebov lost the first set to Davis, it looked like the writing was on the wall but she rallied back brilliantly to win the encounter in two hours and seven minutes.
Sebov had her issues with her serve, losing it three times, but at the same managed to get the better of her opponent’s serve on six occasions. Where she was also helped was by Davis’ poor serving which saw her double-faulting 11 times in the match.
Having eased her way into the main draw by winning a couple of qualifiers, it will be interesting to see if Sebov can maintain a similar momentum against a player of very high caliber.
It would also be interesting to see how Sebov goes on a surface she hasn’t traditionally done well on at any level in her career so far.
