Belinda Bencic def. Anna Kalinskaya 6-4, 4-6, 7(10)-6(6) — Wimbledon 2026 R32

Match recap

Belinda Bencic defeated Anna Kalinskaya 6-4, 4-6, 7(10)-6(6) in the R32 of the Wimbledon 2026.

Three hours and 40 minutes, five breaks of serve in the opening set alone, and a final-set tiebreak that could have gone either way — this one turned on which returner cashed her chances. Down the stretch, Belinda Bencic converted 5 of 9 break points (56%) to Anna Kalinskaya's 5 of 12 (42%), the 14-point gap that decided a match otherwise split down the middle at 109 points to 105. Bencic's 41 winners to Kalinskaya's 30 gave her the aggressive edge, though eight double faults kept it messy. Kalinskaya, who'd already survived a 7-6(8) third-set escape past Parry in the previous round, ran out of comebacks — Bencic broke to open the third at Wimbledon and held on through a decider that stayed on serve until the breaker.
