This is a list of the main career statistics of professional Swiss tennis player Belinda Bencic. In addition to her gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics, she has won seven singles and two doubles titles on the WTA Tour. She made her breakthrough at the age of 18 when she won her first WTA title, the Premier Eastbourne International, and later that year her first WTA 1000 title at the Canadian Open. In 2019, she won her second WTA 1000 title at the Dubai Championships. She was also the US Open semifinalist in 2019.

Her contributions to the Swiss team can be seen at both the Billie Jean King Cup and the Summer Olympics. At the Billie Jean King Cup she was part of the team to reach the final in 2021 and in addition to get to two semifinals before that. Belinda made her Summer Olympics debut in 2021 and won two medals. In the singles event, she defeated Markéta Vondroušová in the final to win the gold medal, while in doubles alongside Viktorija Golubic won the silver medal after losing to Czechs Barbora Krejčíková and Kateřina Siniaková.

In singles, Bencic broke into the top 10 in 2016 when she was 18 years old reaching a ranking of 7. Then in 2020 she reached her new career highest rank of No. 4. Due to more focus in singles, she has never entered the top 50 in doubles but has been close, getting to the rank of No. 59 in 2016.
