It was light work for Poland’s World No. 8 Iga Swiatek, who blitzed Swiss star Belinda Bencic in straight sets with ease, to book her place in the 2025 Wimbledon final on Thursday.
The five-time Grand Slam winner dominated Bencic with effortless ease, putting her away in two easy sets of 6-2, 6-0 in the second semifinal of the Women’s Singles.
In what was also Swiatek’s first Wimbledon semi-final, the Pole looked in total control — compared to her rival Sabalenka in the first semifinal earlier today — dictating the pace of the match to clobber a hapless Bencic, who stood no chance today.
Swiatek blitzed through the first set 6-2 in no time, and made even lighter work of the Switzerland national in the next set, as she bullied Bencic into submission swiftly with a clean sweep to seal the second set as well in no time.
Swiatek will now face off against the USA’s Amanda Anisimova — yet another first-time Wimbledon finalist — as both women will battle it out on Saturday in search of their first title here at the All England Club.
