Bencic becomes brand ambassador for Cornèrcard
Belinda Bencic, a young athlete and the 2013 Sports Award Newcomer of the Year, will be partnering with Cornèrcard, making her the eighth athlete to join the Swiss credit and prepaid card issuer’s team of brand ambassadors.
Belinda Bencic, the world's top-ranked junior tennis player, has already proven her talent on several occasions. Having recently joined the professional WTA Tour, the 16-year-old from eastern Switzerland reached the second round of the women's main draw at her first Grand Slam tournament in Australia.
The Cornèrcard brand ambassador team consists of Giulia Steingruber (gymnast), Fabian Cancellara (cyclist), Ariella Kaeslin (three-time Swiss Sportswoman of the Year), Nino Schurter (mountain bike world champion and Olympic silver medalist), Ilaria Käslin (gymnast) and the beach volleyball team Joana Heidrich and Nadine Zumkehr.
"I think it's great that Cornèrcard supports young athletes and I'm looking forward to working with them," the young athlete was quoted as saying in a press release on Tuesday.
