Iga Swiatek easily advanced to her first Wimbledon final on Thursday, but her dreams of facing Aryna Sabalenka were shattered when Amanda Anisimova shocked the top seed.
In just 71 minutes on Center Court, five-time Grand Slam champion Swiatek, who was not previously recognized for her skill on grass, destroyed former Olympic champion Belinda Bencic 6-2, 6-0.
The 24-year-old eighth seed admitted, “To be honest, I never even imagined that it would be possible for me to play in the final.”I’m simply really happy and proud of myself, and tennis never ceases to amaze me.
