Belinda Bencic is surprisingly eliminated in the 2nd round at the Australian Open. The 28-year-old from Eastern Switzerland was defeated 3:6, 6:0, 4:6 by Czech qualifier Nikola Bartunkova.
The defeat against the world number 126, who is playing her first Grand Slam tournament in Melbourne, is a bitter setback for Bencic. She had started the year excellently, winning all of her first six singles matches.
