Wimbledon: Swiatek Makes Quick Work of Bencic to March to Finals

By Leobert Julian A. de la Peña

Now that’s the perfect way to pull off a best performance, in the bright lights of the semifinals.

After six matches in the Wimbledon Grand Slam tournament, world No. 8 WTA player Iga Swiatek unleashed her most untouchable state in the semifinals, schooling Swiss challenger Belinda Bencic- 6.2, 6.0- to grab a grand final qualification on July 10, 2025, at the Centre Court in London.

In a quick and one-sided affair, the five-time Grand Slam winner was playing out of her mind, scoring five out of eight break points while finishing the Final Four stage with 55 points won in just 71 minutes of action.

Swiatek was on the front foot for the majority of the match and just overpowered her way against the inexperienced Bencic.

No matter what kind of adjustments her Swiss foe made, Swiatek always got the upper hand and bullied Bencic with her consistent groundstroke performance.

Lethal and packed with so much power, Swiatek gained the early momentum by winning eight consecutive points that ballooned her lead to 5-2 in the opener.

Bencic attempted to break Swiatek’s set-sealing service possession but the Polish ace scored a crucial ace followed by a backhand winner to take an early 1-0 lead.

Swiatek replicated her dominance in the first set and continued to do damage in the baseline rally exchanges, resulting in a commanding 3-0 edge.

Switching area targets didn’t benefit Bencic, as she aimed at Swiatek’s backhand side to avoid further damage from eating the forehand bombs.

However, that move didn’t pay off as the rejuvenated Swiatek sent all winners from weird angles, including a net point that kissed the top of the net due to the insane amount of backspin.

Facing Swiatek in the championship match of the Women’s Wimbledon finale is Amanda Anisimova, who is coming off a momentum-boosting semis win over world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka.
