Considering their games styles and the most recent match-up in this rivalry, there is a chance for this contest to go the distance. When they locked horns at the 2025 Ningbo Open, Paolini won 5-7 7-5 6-3.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Belinda Bencic vs. Jasmine Paolini | 2025 Ningbo Quarterfinal | WTA Match Highlights\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IVlE6SIUw-s?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>When it comes to our personal prediction, we sense an upset on the cards. Belinda Bencic normally starts the season strong, and is a two-time Hopman Cup champion. She won a title and reached two pre-quarterfinals in her opening three tournaments in 2025. Additionally, the Swiss starlet won her first match on Saturday to give Switzerland an early advantage in their group.<\/p><p>Bencic won two titles last year, and rose to her best ranking in over two years. Having announced herself with a maiden Wimbledon semifinal appearance, the World No. 8 went on to win the Japan Open. In 2025, she served more aces and held a better record in service games won (76%) and return games won (45%) when compared with Paolini.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Jasmine Paolini Recent Form<\/h2><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>WTA Finals: Group Stage<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ningbo Open: Semifinal<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wuhan Open: Semifinal<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>China Open: Quarterfinal<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>BJK Cup: Winner<\/li>\n<\/ul><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Jasmine Paolini is the first Italian woman to win both the singles &amp; doubles title in Rome since Raffaella Reggi in 1985. <br><br>Forever etched in the history books. <br><br>&#127470;&#127481;&#10084;&#65039; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/EEGZexizSj\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/EEGZexizSj<\/a><\/p>&mdash; The Tennis Letter (@TheTennisLetter) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TheTennisLetter\/status\/1924073652720685488?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>May 18, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Belinda Bencic Recent Form<\/h2><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Hong Kong Open: Quarterfinal<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Japan Open: Winner<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ningbo Open: Quarterfinal<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wuhan Open: Round of 16<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>China Open: Round of 16<\/li>\n<\/ul><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Jasmine Paolini vs Belinda Bencic Head-to-Head Record<\/h2><p>The head-to-head record between Jasmine Paolini and Belinda Bencic is currently 2-2.

I specialise in tennis and football writing at The Playoffs News, and I have prior experience working at EssentiallySports and Sportskeeda. Born and raised in Bengaluru, India, sport was my safe space right from my childhood. After trying my hand at multiple sports and representing my educational institutions in cricket, badminton and table tennis, I found sports media to be my calling. My message to the readers is not to be shy to express themselves - regardless of whether it is playing, talking or writing about sport.
