Swiss couple Bencic, Teichmann back in the top 100

Comacks and fresh faces stood out last week on the Hologic WTA Tour about the WTA 500 by Abu Dhabi, Cluj-Napoca WTA 250 and Mumbai WTA 125.

Belinda Bencic delivered a remarkable title run in Abu Dhabi. Just 10 months after the birth of her daughter Bella, the former world No. 4 in Abu Dhabi returned to the familiar territory, where she last won a trophy in 2023. Bencic returned to the campaign in October and played three tournaments in ITF and WTA 125 (as well as the playoffs by Billie Jean King Cup). But Abu Dhabi was the fourth tournament of her return to Tour Level in 2025.

A wildcard rank in 157th place, Bencics Lauf, included the second tour level 6-0, 6-0 victory of her career (via Veronika Kudermetova in the second round) and her first top 5 victory since April 2023 about defending champion Elena Rybakina in the semi-finals. Bencic, who now has a perfect 9-0 record in Abu Dhabi, sets 92 places in 65th place in July after completing the top 100.

Bencic wasn't the only Swiss player on the comeback trail last week. In Mumbai, Jil Teichmann has claimed her second WTA 125 title in the past six months. She returns to the top 100 with a jump from 17 points. Teichmann reached her career high of No. 21 in July 2022, but was the top 100 in the following June and was 230th place last May.

In Cluj-Napoca, Anastasia Potapova No. 1 won her third career title and climbs a place to No. 31.

Finalists Krueger, Bronzetti make movements

Ashlyn Krueger was originally awarded in Abu Dhabi with a wild card in Abu Dhabi. Nevertheless, the American drove a number of higher opponent-Daria Kasatkina, Leylah Fernandez and 20-year-old Linda Noskova over her second career WTA final and first with WTA 500). Krueger returns to the top 50 and reaches a new career high with a jump from 11 points.

Bronzetti has now played the WTA final on three surfaces (sound, grass and inner hard). It ranks 16 places in 56th place this week.

Teenager Sonobe, Rajeshwaran Revathi Drehkopf

Two brand new faces delivered conspicuous performance last week. The 17 -year -old Australian Open Junior Champion Wakana Sonobe qualified for her first WTA main role in Abu Dhabi and did the second round. The Japanese Japanese teenager with a large cuticle puts 373 places from No. 837 to No. 464.

In Mumbai, 15-year-old Maaya Rajeshwaran Revathi began the tournament as a qualifying wild card. The unrested Indian schoolgirl who played the fifth Pro event of her career went to the semi -finals. Rajeshwaran Revathi entered the ranking in 646.
