NEW YORK _ This time last summer, Belinda Bencic was still trying to figure it all out.
Once labeled the future of women's tennis, Bencic's promising career had been derailed by a series of injuries, including a wrist injury in 2017 that caused her to miss five months and fall outside the top 300.
She lost in the first round of last year's U.S. Open and as recently as last fall found herself bouncing between WTA events and lesser tournaments in places like Tyler, Texas.
