Belinda Bencic has decided to miss the Mutua Madrid Open and the Internazionali BNL d’Italia in order to fully heal her hip injury and be 100% prepared for Roland Garros, which starts on May 28.
The world No.11 shared the news through an Instagram story post on Wednesday, revealing that hip discomfort has troubled her since the U.S. swing and that she needs to take some time off to recuperate fully.
“I will miss both tournaments dearly but will be back in a few weeks and can’t wait to be back competing soon and continuing in great form,” the Swiss tennis player wrote.
