Chloe Paquet vs Belinda Bencic Prediction

France’s Chloe Paquet will be hoping to get her nation off to a positive start at the Ken Rosewall Arena. She hit a career-high world ranking of 96 in the summer of 2024 and she ended the WTA Tour season with a 31-34 record. Overall, it was a solid year for the 30-year-old and now she gets the chance to represent her country at the United Cup.

She will meet Switzerland’s Belinda Bencic who returns to action following the birth of her daughter Bella eight months ago. She did play a couple of tournaments in November and December to get back into some degree of rhythm but she will be keen to do well here as she embarks on her mission to rise back up the world rankings.

Bencic may be ranked way below Paquet but she is by far the better player. She is our pick to grab the opening win here and set Switzerland on their way.
