At the WTA Challenger in Angers, the 27-year-old from eastern Switzerland won 6-3, 6-1 against Océane Dodin after a false start (0-2). The Frenchwoman, ranked 113th in the world, has clearly been Bencic's most formidable opponent so far this fall.

Bencic will return to at least the top 600 in the world rankings. However, she can continue to use her "special ranking" (WTA 15) for longer, including at the Australian Open in January.
