Baby Bella even emulates her famous mother’s trademark return position stance.

This mother-daughter practice session comes nearly a month after Bella celebrated her second birthday on April 23rd. Bella is the first child for Belinda Bencic and her partner, Martin Hromkovic.

This isn’t Bella’s first on-court training experience.

Last month, Bella played role of roving coach and clay-court inspector during Belinda Bencic’s Charleston practice.
