Bencic talks about Federer and Nadal She said: "Obviously I hope that Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal will be able to return to the circuit soon. However, I cannot answer this question with certainty, it should be asked of those directly concerned.
I personally hope with all my heart to see Roger on the pitch again. I am quite optimistic about it, also because I know how much he is in love with tennis. All that remains is to wait and hope that things go well." Without Federer and Wawrinka, the spotlight is all on Bencic.
The Swiss added: "I don't feel too much pressure, there are four Swiss players in the main draw of these US Open. I'm not the only one who has the opportunity to do well. For sure, I am very happy and proud to keep the Swiss name high in tournaments where Roger and Stan are missing."
Recall that there is not even the outgoing champion of the men's tournament, namely Dominic Thiem, still in the pits due to a wrist injury.

Leylah Fernandez vs Elina Svitolina Highlights | 2021 US Open Quarterfinal Leylah Fernandez takes on Elina Svitolina in the quarterfinals of the 2021 US Open. Teenager Leylah Fernandez produced another fearless performance to beat Elina Svitolina and set up a US Open semi-final with Aryna Sabalenka. Canada's Fernandez, who turned 19 on Monday, showed all of her devastating power to win a tense tie-break 6-3 3-6 7-6 (7-5) in New York. Svitolina, 26, had overturned a 5-2 deficit in the third but could not stop Fernandez's thrilling, powerful play. Second seed Sabalenka dominated French Open winner Barbora Krejcikova 6-1 6-4. Fernandez has beaten defending champion Naomi Osaka, 2016 winner Angelique Kerber and now Olympic bronze medallist Svitolina in her run to her first major semi-final. She has shown remarkable composure in New York, backing up her easy power with a calmness and composure on court. As Svitolina sent a return of serve long on match point, Fernandez fell to her knees and teared up as she was given a lengthy ovation by the fans on Arthur Ashe. "I honestly have no idea what I'm feeling right now. I was so nervous throughout the whole match," she said. "I was honoured to have a fight with Svitolina. I just told myself to go for every point. I'm glad I did."
