Who Will Win In This Head-To-Head?
Chloe Paquet from France, currently ranked No. 123 in the WTA World rankings, will be facing off against Belinda Bencic from Switzerland. This will be their first meeting on the court. Paquet, who is 30 years old, had a successful 2024 season, reaching the semifinals in Iasi and achieving her best Grand Slam result by making it to the third round at Roland-Garros. She also had a notable performance at the WTA Tour, reaching the semifinals in Iasi and the quarterfinals in Palermo. In addition, Paquet broke into the Top 100 for the first time in her career in August 2024, reaching a new career-high ranking of No. 96. She also reached the finals in both singles and doubles at the WTA 125 events in Saint Malo and Limoges. In 2023, Paquet played qualifying matches at all four Grand Slam tournaments and had her best Tour-level result of the season in Lausanne, where she reached the Round of 16 on clay.
Throughout her career, Paquet has reached the quarterfinals or better in Tour-level tournaments four times, all of which were on clay. This will be Paquet’s debut at the United Cup, and she finished the 2024 season ranked No. 111, which was her best year-end ranking to date.
On the other hand, Belinda Bencic, who is 27 years old, is currently ranked No. 487 in the WTA World rankings. She had taken time off from the Tour due to maternity leave from September 2023 to October 2024. Bencic welcomed her first child, Bella, in April 2024. Prior to her break, Bencic had a successful career, reaching a career-high ranking of No. 4. In 2024, she reached the final of the WTA 125 event in Angers, France, where she made it to the championship match without dropping a set but eventually lost to Alycia Parks in a three-set match. In 2023, Bencic won two titles at Adelaide 2 and Abu Dhabi and finished as the runner-up in Charleston.

Bencic’s impressive performance in 2019 earned her the title of WTA Comeback Player of the Year. She won two titles at Dubai and Moscow and achieved a career-best 49 Tour-level match wins, which was the fourth-highest among all players. She also broke back into the Top 10 rankings on September 9 of that year.
This will be Bencic’s second appearance at the United Cup. In the 2023 edition, she won against Yulia Putintseva but lost to Iga Swiatek. After playing two ITF events and a WTA 125 event in Angers, where she finished as the runner-up, Bencic is now competing in the biggest event of her return since late October.
