🎾 Iga Swiatek Reaches First Wimbledon Final with Commanding Win Over Bencic

📰 Match Recap

Iga Swiatek delivered one of her most dominant performances on grass as she defeated Belinda Bencic 6-2, 6-0 in the Wimbledon semifinals, securing a spot in the final for the first time in her career.

The match lasted just 1 hour and 12 minutes, during which the Polish star showcased her full arsenal: deep groundstrokes, powerful serving, and flawless movement on a surface that hasn’t always favored her style of play.

Swiatek took control early, breaking Bencic in the first set and closing it out with authority. In the second set, she didn’t drop a single game, maintaining total focus and confidence with every shot.

🎯 On the Road to the Title

This victory not only marks her best Wimbledon result but also presents an opportunity to win a major on a third surface, after previous titles at Roland Garros and the US Open. A win in the final would make her a Grand Slam champion on clay, hard court, and grass.

The world No. 1 will now face Amanda Anisimova in the final — a new rivalry on the biggest stage. Swiatek is chasing her sixth Grand Slam title as she continues to build a legacy among the greats of modern tennis.
