Belinda Bencic has been on fire at the Billie Jean King Cup Finals in Prague this week, and after her win over No. 9-ranked Angelique Kerber on Tuesday, we highlighed her excellent record against Top 10 players—at the time, that win over Kerber was her 13th win in her last 20 matches against Top 10 players, and it made her overall career record against the elite an impressive 26-22.

Well, it turns out she’s even better against Top 5 players.

On Thursday she beat No. 3-ranked Barbora Krejcikova, 7-6 (2), 6-4, which was her 14th win in her last 19 matches against Top 5 players.

She’s now 14-8 overall against them.
