Olympic gold medalist, Belinda Bencic, reached the last eight at Indian Wells by conquering home favorite Coco Gauff in three sets in the fourth round.
Bencic entered the tournament as a wild card entry and has now booked her spot in the quarterfinals of the BNP Paribas Open. It has been an impressive journey for the 28-year-old mother.

She defeated the 13th seed Diana Shnaider, another seeded American Amanda Anisiomova, and Tatjana Maria in the previous rounds.

The Swiss missed the last edition due to her pregnancy but has not looked back since her return on the tour this season. She has curated some impressive performances this season already after her maternity break.

She clinched a WTA 500 title in Abu Dhabi, reached the fourth round of the Australian Open, and is now enjoying a dominant run at the Indian Wells Masters.
In an on-court interview after her victory over the third seed, Bencic shared her feelings regarding the win and insights about her mindset after becoming a mother.

“Yeah, of course I always tell myself it doesn’t matter if I win this match, I have already won in life. I have a beautiful family and everything that I can be happy for.

Obviously, I still want to win tennis matches and still my dream, but definitely my priorities have changed. And yeah, it’s just very beautiful and I am very blessed in my life,” she said.
Bencic has set an example for all the mothers in the world, that they can pursue their passion while embracing motherhood. She acknowledged that her priorities in life have changed but the will to win matches is still alive.

Her fear of losing a tennis match is out of the equation, which is helping her to play with a fearless approach, making her more dangerous on the tennis court and contributing to a lot of success.

This is Bencic’s second-best appearance at the Indian Wells, showing the kind of tennis she is playing this season.
