Bencic vs Xin Yu Prediction 1 July 2026
π Belinda Bencic made her grass-court debut this season at Wimbledon, and the Swiss star showed no signs of rust as she cruised past local hopeful Mika Stojsavljevic, albeit not the most high-profile opponent. However, the level of competition ramps up significantly in the second round, with Bencic set to face Wang Xinyu. The Chinese player arrives in London in fine form, having already found her rhythm on grass ahead of the Major. The question now is whether Bencic can withstand Wangβs intensity in what promises to be a much sterner test.

π These opponents have met twice before, with Belinda Bencic coming out on top on both occasions.

Expected scenario
Belinda Bencic are expected to dictate the tempo of this match, given her higher ranking. However, Wang Xinyuβs recent form on grass suggests sheβs well-equipped to challenge her more accomplished opponent. Wang faced a tough test in the opening round at Wimbledon, which explains why her match went the distance. It wouldnβt be surprising if we see momentum swing back and forth in this contest as well, leading to a lengthy battle with plenty of games played.
β Editorial Prediction
Belinda Bencic remains in impressive form, even after a lengthy break following Roland Garros. The Swiss star has already defeated Wang Xinyu, though those matches were closely contested without significant margins in games won. We anticipate a similar scenario here, especially given Wangβs sharper match rhythm on grass. The Chinese playerβs momentum is evident not just in the number of matches played, but also in her performances at major tournaments. Our prediction: Wang Xinyu (+4.5).
