Swiatek’s quest to conquer grass-court

Iga Swiatek, a four-time Roland-Garros champion and 2022 US Open winner, is a force on clay and hard courts. However, grass has been her Achilles’ heel.

Her dominant run to the final, including a 6-2, 6-0 semifinal thrashing of Belinda Bencic, makes her a strong contender in the final.

Amanda Anisimova’s breakthrough

Amanda Anisimova's path to the final included a stunning upset over the world no. 1 Aryna Sabalenka in the semifinals (6-4, 4-6, 6-4), proving her ability to compete with the best. Anisimova’s aggressive baseline game and powerful groundstrokes have shone on Wimbledon’s grass. She will be geared up to win her maiden Grand Slam.
