Bencic Overpowers Noskova in Tokyo for 10th WTA Title

On Oct 26, 2025, Belinda Bencic defeated Linda Noskova to win the Pan Pacific Open final in Tokyo.
The tournament was weakened by nine withdrawals before the first round, including world top-10 players Jasmine Paolini and Jessica Pegula, while number two seed Elena Rybakina pulled out on Saturday with a back injury.
Serving at 5-3, Bencic broke Noskova midway through the first set and clinched the match after Noskova missed five break points in the fifth game of the second set.
Tokyo has provided recent happy memories for Belinda Bencic, who won Olympic singles gold and doubles silver there four years ago, and she said, `I love to play in Japan, so I'm super happy to finally win this tournament.`
Ten years after her previous Tokyo final appearance, Belinda Bencic closed the match in one hour and 22 minutes.
