More comfortable hard and clay courts since the beginning of his career, Swiatek qualifies for his second consecutive grass final, two weeks after he was deputy in Bad Homburg. Former number 1 in the world, the Polish goes in search of her 23rd title in the circuit. Your opponent will be Anydea, a finalist of the WTA 500 Queen’s, also played in the grass in June. The two never faced each other in an official game. In turn, Bencic leaves London with the second defeat in his second Grand Slam semifinal. The 28 -year -old Switzerland was also a semifinalist of US Open in 2019.
Bencic, who was already number 4 in the world, was in the 489th position of the WTA ranking earlier this year. With the good campaign in Wimbledon, she will return to the top 20 next week.
