Iga Swiatek banished the last of her grasscourt demons to blaze into her first Wimbledon final as the former world number one produced a performance of sizzling intensity to complete a quick-fire 6-2 6-0 demolition of Belinda Bencic on Thursday.

A first-time Wimbledon ladies' singles champion will be crowned for the eight straight edition -- will it be five-time Grand Slam titlist Iga Swiatek, or Amanda Anisimova, who will make her Top 10 debut on Monday?

It’s Iga Świątek, the five-time Grand Slam champion who spent 125 weeks as the world No. 1 between early 2022 and late 2024. She’s the No. 8 seed at Wimbledon, but she’s actually the world No. 4. Only four players are left in the draw now, and she is one of them — for the first time.
