Switzerland's
Belinda Bencic became the first teenager in seven years to reach the
top 10 of the WTA rankings after she climbed to ninth in the world on
Monday February 15,2016
A
run to the final at the St. Petersburg Ladies Trophy ensured that
Bencic, 18, became the first woman aged under 20 to enter the top 10
since Caroline Wozniacki in 2009.
Belinda Bencic lost the final to Italy's Roberta Vinci, but her performance still lifted her to ninth in the rankings
'As a small kid, everyone is dreaming to one day become top 10,' Bencic, who won two titles in 2015, said in a statement.
Maria Sharapova's triumph
at the 2006 U.S. Open was the last time a teenaged player won a slam,
while last year's four majors were all won by 30-something women
