Mercedes-AMG: Belinda Bencic drives a star 🎥
PERFECTLY MATCHED PARTNER World-class tennis player Belinda Bencic is backing a very special star. The 25-year-old athlete will be driving the new SL from Mercedes-AMG in the future.
Like Mercedes-Benz, Belinda Bencic combines top performance with elegance and dynamism. The top Swiss athlete has been leaving her mark on international tennis for many years. At the age of 17, she was already one of the youngest participants to reach the quarterfinals of the US Open.
After injuries slowed her rise, the right-hander returned to top form in 2019, playing her first Grand Slam semifinal at the US Open, winning two titles and breaking into the world's top 10. Her career highlight to date came in 2021, when she won the gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics.
Striving for maximum performance and success
Marc Langenbrinck, CEO Mercedes-Benz Switzerland, on the 2021 Sportswoman of the Year: "Belinda Bencic is an outstanding athlete and extremely winning personality who has already achieved a great deal at a young age. As a successful top athlete, she ideally represents our brand because we are united by the pursuit of top performance and success."
Combination of tradition and luxury
Belinda Bencic after trying out the seats for the first time: "I am very happy to be part of the Mercedes-Benz family. The brand has great appeal and the cars with the star have always set standards. This matches my ambition to be among the best on the tennis court. The SL is very sporty and dynamic. For me, it perfectly embodies the combination of tradition and modern luxury - and looks great to boot."
