Old Olympic champion Belinda Benjik, Indian wells continued their sensitive form since returning to the coco ship to reach the quarterfinals.
In April last year, Benjik, who gave birth to Bella, was difficult to win 3-6 6-3 6-4 with the third seed Gauffu.
The 28-year-old Swiss player has won 17 matches since the return of the WTA tour this season.
Last month, only 10 months after the arrival of his first child, Abu Dhabi won the open header.
Gauff said that Bencic is a mother that gives a new perspective to his career, despite being a mother, and that allows you to play more freedom.
“I always tell myself that I won this match, I have already won a life,” he said.
“I have a beautiful family, I’m very blessed.”
The level of Bencik game – and the results obtained – recently became very impressive to return.
When he returned to the second-step WTA Challenger tour in October, the 2020 Olympic gold medal will return in the world’s best in the world next week.
Beating GAUFF provided the second winning over five opponents in 2022 in 2022 in 2025, 2022 Wimbledon Champion Elena Rybakina in the semifinals of Abu Dhabi.
Bengik is only the sixth wild to reach the last eight of women in Indian wells since the tournament began in 1989.
Next, or Australian open champion Madison switches or Wimbledon semi-finalist Donna Vekic – Bencik will face a close friend of Bencik.
