It's not easy being a professional tennis player, and this has nothing to do with the competition on court. Swiss tennis sensation Belinda Bencic, 21, says it's difficult to find love while one is travelling around the world competing on the WTA Tour.

"I do not have any relationship at the moment. This is difficult for us as young women. If you have someone at home, you almost never see him. If he is a professional tennis player, you see him rarely because there are just a few tournaments where men and women are competing at the same time," says Bencic, who has been nominated for the 33rd Sporthilfe Nachwuchs-Preis, one of the most important awards in Swiss junior sport.
