Introducing Belinda Bencic's Spouse: Martin Hromkovic
Martin Hromkovic, a former professional footballer from Slovakia, has transitioned into a successful career as a fitness coach, supporting the athletic performance of his wife, Swiss tennis star Belinda Bencic [1][2].
Born in Slovakia, Hromkovic had a prosperous soccer career, playing for several European clubs. His main position was at center-back [3]. Following his retirement in 2019, he shifted his focus to fitness coaching and became Belinda Bencic's full-time trainer [1].
Their relationship began in 2018, and Hromkovic has since been an integral part of Bencic's life, both on and off the court. In addition to his coaching role, he provides emotional support, particularly during Bencic's return to competition after maternity leave in 2024 [1][4][5].
Hromkovic and Bencic were married in April 2024, and their daughter, Bella, was born in the same month [4]. The family also includes a dog named Paula, adopted during lockdown [6]. Hromkovic also has another dog named Nela, often featured on his social media accounts [7].
Bencic, a junior champion at Wimbledon, has made significant strides in her career. After nine attempts, she reached the senior level quarterfinals for the first time [8]. Recently, she made headlines as the last mother standing in a Grand Slam tournament [9].
Hromkovic's background in professional sports and his dedication as a fitness coach have been crucial in Bencic's remarkable resurgence in tennis. This includes her winning her 9th WTA title in early 2025 and reaching her first Wimbledon quarter-final [1][5].
