Swiss tennis player Belinda Bencic announced the premature end of her season following a right foot injury. An MRI confirmed multiple partial tears of the tibiofibular ligament, which forced her withdrawal from the Pacific Open in Tokyo and upcoming events in Hong Kong.

Due to the ongoing injury, Bencic also withdrew from the 2026 Billie Jean King Cup play-off against Thailand. While Bencic is sidelined, the Swiss team will proceed with a roster including Viktoria Golubic, Simona Waltert, Susan Bandecchi, Jill Teichmann, and Naima Karamoako.
