The Swiss are having a lot of luck with comebacks. Belinda Bencic, after taking almost five months off due to a wrist injury, pulled from a well of strength to win her second WTA title in as many weeks. She defeated Arantxa Rus to win the $125K Series in Taipei on Sunday.

The first set was very competitive, with both players producing strong shot with great form, but ultimately it was Bencic who took the tiebreak. The second set was far more lopsided, as the 20-year-old quickly took her tenth consecutive win, 7-6 (3), 6-1, and third title since coming back in September.

All of the winning has pushed the former world No. 7 back into the Top 100.
