Former World No.1 Iga Swiatek finally proved her dominance on the grass court as she went past unseeded Belinda Bencic of Switzerland 6-2, 6-0 to reach her first-ever Wimbledon final. The Swiss star was no competition against the five-time Grand Slam winner as Swiatek enjoyed a comfortable final four win.
She will now face the USA's Amanda Anisimova in the Wimbledon 2025 women's singles final, in which both will be eying their first Wimbledon title.
Swiatek wants to break her Grass curse
Swiatek is one of the greatest clay court players of her generation, with four French Open titles, as well as her one US Open title. But she had always struggled on grass. That is why, before Wimbledon 2025, she had never reached the semis of Wimbledon.
But this time, she not only reached the final four, she has now given herself a chance to lift the Wimbledon 2025 title as well.
Iga started with power and dominance and had her first break in the second game. Soon, she was leading the first set by 3-0. And from then on, Bencic did try to fight, a 31% of attacking shots from Iga was too hot to handle for her.
With 12 winners, two break points won, Iga finished the first set with 6-2.
Second set: Iga did not drop a single game
But when everyone was hoping for a fightback from the Swiss, who was also playing her first Wimbledon semi-final, Iga levelled her game up.
In the second set, Iga did not drop a single game and went on to win the set by 6-0. She had 14 winners and had 33% attacking shots.
“Honestly, I never even dreamt that it was going to be possible for me to play in the final, so I’m just super excited and just proud of myself,” Iga said after winning the semis.
“Tennis keeps surprising me. I thought I had lived through everything, even though I’m young. I thought I'd experienced everything on the court. I didn’t experience playing well on grass, so that’s the first time, and I’m super excited and enjoying it,” she added.

Iga on her opponent in the final
The World No.8 is one step away from winning her maiden Wimbledon title. But she will be up against someone who will also be looking to win her first Wimbledon title.
“She must be playing great. With her game style, the surface fits her," Swiatek told about her opponent in the final, Amanda Anisimova.
“Anyone who struggles and then gets back deserves a lot of respect," Swiatek did not forget to acknowledge Amanda's comeback from mental health struggles to the Wimbledon final.
