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.

“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.

Last year, he captured his first Grand Slam title in Australia marking a key moment in his career. Renowned for his aggressive baseline playstyle, Sinner possesses one of the most powerful shots on the entire tour.

Carlos Alcaraz

The winner of Wimbledon for 2024 and 2023, the tennis world is Carlos Alcaraz's oyster it seems, as he now has four Grand Slam titles in total. Aside from being a two-times Wimbledon champ, he's also won the French Open and the US Open.

With extraordinary mobility and an impressive combination of a powerful forehand and backhand, he poses a big challenge to his opponents, especially on slower court surfaces.

Daniil Medvedev

Standing tall at 6'6", Medvedev is a skilled counterpuncher with a strong ability to read his opponents' game. He went out in the 2024 semi-finals to Alcaraz - who went on to win the tournament. He previously reached the Wimbledon semi-finals in 2023.

As the only male player in the Open Era to have lost two major finals after winning the first two sets, he is eager to prove his mettle and silence his critics with a strong performance on the court.

Aryna Sabalenka

Currently world number one, Belarusian player Aryna Sabalenka is one to have on your radar. She had to drop out of Wimbledon 2024 due to a shoulder injury, but will hope to be the champion in 2025 as she has already make spot for the semis.

Coco Gauff

At just 21 years old, this rising star has already climbed to the impressive rank of 2nd in the world. In 2024, Coco Gauff made it to the fourth round at Wimbledon. She achieved a milestone by winning her first Grand Slam at the US Open in 2023, defeating world number 2 Aryna Sabalenka in a thrilling match.

While the grass may not be her most comfortable surface, her game is developing and improving at a rapid pace, indicating that we can anticipate seeing her make a deep run into the next WTA Tours.

Iga Swiatek

Since her meteoric rise, the world number 8 has dominated the WTA tour, establishing herself as a force to be reckoned with. At 2024's Wimbledon, she made it to the third round, losing to Yulia Putintseva. However, her willpower and skill set helped her reclaim that top seed just two months later at the WTA finals in Cancun, Mexico.
