Iga Swiatek produced a dazzling display of dominance on Thursday to sweep aside Belinda Bencic 6-2, 6-0 and secure her place in a maiden Wimbledon final. The Polish star, a five-time Grand Slam champion, needed just 71 minutes on Centre Court to dismantle her Swiss opponent and continue her impressive run at the All England Club.

Seeded eighth, Swiatek wasted no time asserting her authority in the semifinal, breaking Bencic’s serve early and surging to a 3-0 lead. Though Bencic managed to settle briefly and hold serve twice, the Pole tightened her grip, breaking to love in the eighth game to seal the first set 6-2.

The second set was even more emphatic. Swiatek maintained relentless pressure, immediately breaking Bencic and refusing to concede a single game. The 24-year-old barely gave her opponent room to breathe, delivering a masterclass in precision and composure on grass, where she had previously struggled to leave a mark.
