Iga Swiatek took a huge step in her bid to finally conquer grass as she cruised to a dominant win over Belinda Bencic to reach her first Wimbledon final.

Former World No.1 Iga Swiatek wasted little time in her Wimbledon semifinal on Thursday, breezing past 2020 Olympic gold medalist Belinda Bencic to reach her first final in London.

Bencic was able to outlast Mirra Andreeva in two tiebreakers in the quarterfinals, but the Russian only broke serve once in that match, which is not a luxury Bencic will be able to rely on against Swiatek, who is one of the best defensive players in the sport.

Iga Swiatek and Belinda Bencic are set to meet at Wimbledon today, two years exactly after their thriller battle and the Polish tennis star earning a hard-fought win by saving multiple match points. When the fourth-seeded Pole and the 35th-ranked Swiss clash today, one of them will reach their first Wimbledon final.

The former World No. 4 reached the semifinals of a Grand Slam for the second time in her career, achieving this just months after returning to the courts. It's worth remembering that Bencic missed the entire 2024 season due to her career break for maternity leave,
