Hingis reunites with two of her former doubles partners and good friends, Belinda Bencic and Timea Bacsinszky.

The former world No. 1 partnered Bacsinszky to win the doubles silver medal at the 2016 Rio Olympics. Hingis, who has mentored Bencic, played her final Fed Cup match alongside Bencic in a 6-0, 6-1 victory over Belarus in the 2017 semifinals.
