Belinda Bencic’s Breakthrough Year On and Off the Court
Belinda Bencic is having quite a season — and not just on the tennis court. After years of perseverance and hard work, she’s finally reached the quarterfinals at Wimbledon for the first time in her senior career, an achievement that’s been nearly a decade in the making. But what makes this moment even more powerful is that she’s doing it all while embracing a new chapter in her personal life — as a mother and wife. Yes, Bencic is not just a Wimbledon contender; she’s also the last mother standing in this year’s Grand Slam tournament.
At the heart of her journey is Martin Hromkovic, her husband and longtime fitness coach. The pair has a remarkable bond, both personally and professionally. Hromkovic, born in the former Czechoslovakia, shares Slovakian heritage with Bencic, and it's clear their shared background has only deepened their connection. Martin isn’t just a supportive partner; he’s been instrumental in her physical development since 2018, bringing his experience as a former professional soccer player to the world of tennis.

Before joining Bencic’s team, Hromkovic had a solid career on the football field, playing as a center-back for various European clubs. That athletic foundation gave him the insight and discipline necessary to guide an elite athlete like Bencic. Their collaboration may have started as a professional one, but it naturally evolved into something more, and the two managed to balance both worlds seamlessly — even after becoming romantically involved.
In 2024, the couple took two huge steps in life: they quietly tied the knot in April and welcomed their daughter, Bella, that same month. Bencic had announced her pregnancy late in 2023, and the tennis world has watched in admiration as she navigated motherhood while returning to top form on the court. Bella has already become a silent source of inspiration for the Olympic gold medalist.
What makes their story even sweeter is the quiet, down-to-earth lifestyle they seem to enjoy. From feeding kangaroos in Brisbane to celebrating big wins at the Tokyo Olympics, Belinda and Martin have experienced life’s highs together, grounded by shared values and a mutual love for sport. And yes, they’re also dog lovers — with their adorable pup Paula, who joined their family during lockdown, and memories of Martin’s longtime companion Nela still cherished.
Now, with her husband by her side and her daughter as her motivation, Bencic is proving that motherhood and elite sport aren’t mutually exclusive. She’s rewriting what it means to be a tennis champion, not just with a racket, but with resilience, heart, and grace. Her run at Wimbledon 2025 is more than a personal best — it’s a statement that passion, patience, and partnership can truly redefine success.
