Does Hingis coach Bencic?

Hingis mother Melanie Molitor is Bencic's coach

Fashionista, Melanie coached Belinda for a number of years, but I am pretty sure she is being coached by her father now as well as Melanie. I saw her play parts of two matches at Eastbourne and was surprisingly impressed with her natural talent. Bit of a quick temper, but Martina had that same trait as well.

They keep showing Belinda's coach box and Hingis is sitting there.

Hold of serve and we're at 4-3

I could be mistaken Kiu, just realized Melanie still is in her camp too, but Martina maybe now doing the job as her fulltime coach. Thanks Kiu.

Oh thanks...for that updated information..apparently I have also heard Martina practices with Bencic as well.

WTG Belinda, wow impressive. Liked what I saw in June, and felt she could go places this year, and my thoughts were justified. Great win for Bencic!

Congratulatons Belinda you were impressive tonight and deserved your victory

Belinda has taken out Kerber and now Jankovic....

So, after one week, we have just three top 10 players left.

No.1 and No. 10 sandwiched by a number 7.

Someone who beat her easily in Wimbeldon is busy fishing now. Please dont bother us with tennis nonsense.
We are busy fishing on the Danube

@ mashafan,
its ok, you are on ignore list and you can post whatever you want. I dont read your posts.
and I only express my views, its just freedom of speech, get used to it if you are living in Russia.
You can call Simona "peasant" or "gypsy" or whatever you like. Thats what I expect and I will not reply.

The announcer at the post-match-interview acknowledged Martina as the "inspiration coach", apparently her Mom could not make the trip.
Can you believe the 17 year old did all this without a coach?

17 year old Belinda Bencic became the youngest USO quarterfinalist since Hingis herself in 1997
