The Polish IGA Swiatek, five times winner of Grand Slam tournaments, qualified this Thursday, at 24, for its first final in Wimbledon, in which the American Amanda Anisimova will have as a rival, who eliminated shortly before the world number one, the Belarusa Aryna Sabalenka.
Swiatek, fourth of the WTA ranking, won the second semifinal for an unappealable 6-2 and 6-0 to the Switzerland Belinda Bencic (35th), which played her first semifinal in Wimbledon and the second in a Grand Slam fifteen months after having been the mother of a girl.
Usually more comfortable on a hard track and especially on beaten soil, Swiatek seems to reconcile with the grass. It will be his second final followed on that surface, two weeks after losing in the WTA 500 of Bad Homburg (Germany).
The Polish star will aspire on Saturday to its 23rd title as a professional, an objective that resists him since in June 2024 he raised the Suzanne Lengalen of Roland Garros in the fourth time.
Bencic, who was 489th at the beginning of the year and after Wimbledon will enter the 'Top 20', had no option this Thursday and stayed at the doors of what would have been his first final in a big one, after losing in semifinals of the United States Open in 2019.
His adversary in the final, Amanda Anisimova (12th of the world), starred in the surprise of the day at the All England Club, surpassing in three sets (6-4, 4-6, 6-4) to the world number 1, the Belarusa Sabalenka, already its 23 years will play on Saturday its first final in a Grand Slam.
Anisimova, runner -up in June in the Queen's lawn tournament, and Swiatek have not yet faced themselves in an official match. The American looks for her first title in a big tournament. It already has two trophies in the 250 category and a 1,000 masters.
