The first WTA player to win a match at the inaugural Mutua Madrid Open Virtual Pro was Belinda Bencic, as the Swiss worked a PS4 controller better than Carla Suarez Navarro, defeating the Spaniard 3-1 on Monday afternoon.
Without live tennis due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Madrid tournament organized the first ever online tennis competition with real ATP and WTA players taking part. Watching the virtual match, we could see Bencic and Suarez Navarro via webcams in the corners of the screen, while there was also live commentary on their court action.
