Iga Świątek has well and truly found her confidence on grass.
The Paris 2024 tennis bronze medallist is into the Wimbledon women’s singles final for the first time, where she will aim for the sixth Grand Slam title of her career.
Świątek came through to beat unseeded Swiss Belinda Bencic 6-2, 6-0 in the 2025 semi-finals on Thursday (10 July), completing a dominant victory in one hour and 12 minutes on Centre Court.
After the former world number one failed to reach a final for 12 months, she will follow up her Bad Homburg WTA Tour final appearance with a debut in the championship match at the All England Lawn Tennis Club.
Świątek will take on another first-time Wimbledon finalist, USA’s Amanda Anisimova, after the 13th seed produced a seismic performance to overcome world no. 1 Aryna Sabalenka.
