Having already won two titles in the 2023 season, the Adelaide International 2 and the Mubadala Abu Dhabi Open, Bencic’s addition to the Asics athlete roster will strengthen the brand’s global presence as the clay season is underway in Europe. Currently nurturing a hip injury, Bencic is missing the tournaments in Madrid and Rome, but she expects to be fully healed in time for Roland Garros.
