🎾 Wimbledon 2025: Amanda Anisimova Shocks the World, Świątek Charges into Final — A New Era Begins!

By: USA NEWS TODAY| July 10, 2025

Wimbledon 2025 has been a tournament of thrills, heart, and history — and Day 11 just delivered the most explosive chapter yet. In a stunning turn of events, Amanda Anisimova has dethroned world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka, while Iga Świątek crushed Olympic gold medalist Belinda Bencic in one of the most dominant grass-court performances of her career.

Let’s break down the moments, emotions, and implications — and why this first-time final matchup could define the next era of women’s tennis.

🎉 Anisimova’s Shocker: Toppling the Queen of Power

Amanda Anisimova, the 13th seed and U.S. sensation, played the match of her life. With grit, focus, and fearless shotmaking, she toppled Aryna Sabalenka in three rollercoaster sets: 6-4, 4-6, 6-4.

What makes this victory so sensational?

• Sabalenka came in as the heavy favorite, riding a 10-match win streak.
• Anisimova had never beaten Sabalenka on grass before.
• The Centre Court crowd roared as Amanda outdueled the top seed with clutch serving and deep returns.

💥 Świątek’s Statement: Bagels Bencic in 62 Minutes

If Anisimova’s win was the drama, Świątek’s performance was pure dominance.

In just over an hour, the four-time Grand Slam champion demolished Belinda Bencic 6-2, 6-0, firing on all cylinders from start to finish.

Key stats that show Świątek’s supremacy:

• 75% first-serve win rate
• 11 winners to just 4 unforced errors in Set 1
• 4 consecutive breaks to close the match

After years of being called a “clay court specialist,” Świątek proved once and for all: she’s here to conquer grass too.

🎶 Guns N' Roses, Grass Courts, and Grand Slams: Świątek’s Pre-Match Secrets

One of the best moments of the day came off the court, as Iga Świątek opened up about her pre-match rituals:

“I listen to AC/DC, Guns N' Roses, and Led Zeppelin to pump myself up before matches. It’s all about routine and rhythm.”

She also spoke highly of Anisimova, calling her “fast, fearless, and dangerous.”

Their upcoming final? A first-time meeting that promises fireworks.

🌱 The First-Time Final: Swiatek vs. Anisimova

For the first time in Wimbledon history, neither Serena, Venus, nor a past champion will feature in the women’s final. Instead, it’s two fresh faces:

• 🇺🇸 Amanda Anisimova – The underdog story of the tournament, chasing her maiden Slam title.
• 🇵🇱 Iga Świątek – The favorite, looking to cement her legacy by winning her first Wimbledon.

🔥 Why this final matters:

• It represents the next generation of women’s tennis.
• It’s a classic contrast in styles: Anisimova’s aggressive flat-hitting vs. Świątek’s topspin control.
• Both women have never made a Wimbledon final before — and one of them will leave a champion.

☀️ A Wimbledon of Extremes: Heat, Heart, and Halted Play

Both semifinals were briefly halted due to fans suffering from the unusually hot London sun. The interruptions were a reminder of how climate is increasingly affecting tennis — from player performance to fan safety.

Spectator quote from The Athletic:

"It’s like a different England. I used to bring jackets to Wimbledon. Now it’s SPF 50 and a fan!"
