Iga Świątek vs Amanda Anisimova Preview
This Saturday’s final in London will see Iga Świątek (seeded 8) face Amanda Anisimova (seeded 13) in their first-ever professional meeting. The Polish WTA star booked her place in the final with commendable efficiency. She dropped just one set in six matches and then delivered a 6‑2, 6‑0 win over Belinda Bencic to reach her first Wimbledon final.
Anisimova, on the other hand, faced a much rockier road, knocking out Yulia Putintseva, Linda Nosková, Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, and ultimately world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka in a three-set epic (6‑4, 4‑6, 6‑4) to book her first Grand Slam final berth.

Swiątek enters the match off a mixed 2025 campaign, which includes semifinal exits at both the Australian and French Opens. However, she appears to have rediscovered her touch, this time on grass. After a surprising semifinal loss in Paris and a doping-related suspension, she rebuilt under coach Wim Fissette and is now on a 9-1 record on grass.
Anisimova, meanwhile, had one of the best moments of her career this year. She secured her first-ever WTA 1000 title in Doha in February and also arose from outside the top 200 in early 2024 to near the top 10. She also made her first grass final at Queen’s Club.
Iga Świątek vs Amanda Anisimova Head-to-Head
Iga Świątek and Amanda Anisimova have never faced each other on the professional tour. The upcoming final match at Wimbledon will mark their first head-to-head encounter at this level. Their only previous meeting came almost a decade ago in the junior ranks. A Junior Fed Cup clash in Budapest in 2016, where a 15‑year‑old Świątek defeated Anisimova 6–4, 6–2.
Iga Świątek vs Amanda Anisimova Prediction
Świątek showcased a stunning transformation on grass this year by pivoting from her previous struggles at Wimbledon to a dominant campaign. With heavy topspin and elite footwork, the five-time grand slam champion has adapted to the surface with improved slice depth and forward court movement.
Anisimova, on the other hand, emerged as the top grass-court player in 2025, with a 12–2 record. Her flat, fearless groundstrokes and aggressive return game bind seamlessly to grass. While she failed to even qualify for the main draw in 2024, her notable rise in the ongoing season surprised the tennis community.

Świątek comes in with a 41–11 season record and a solid career grass winning rate of about 76.7%. Her average first-serve percentage is around 62.2%, with about 2.27 aces and 2.73 double faults per match in the ongoing season. During her 6–2, 6–0 semifinal win over Bencic, she landed 69% first serves and backed it with an impressive 84% first-serve points won.
Anisimova, on the other hand, holds a 31–13 record this season (about 67% win rate), with first serve landing roughly 64.1% of the time. She also averages nearly 2.94 aces per match though with a higher double-fault count at around 4.36.
Świątek’s baseline consistency, variety, and court awareness give her the edge in extended rallies. However, despite that, Anisimova’s flat ball-striking and aggressive mindset, especially on her serve, are hard to counter. Considering the serve and return margins, Anisimova has better chances to push Świątek to breaking point.
Prediction: Anisimova to win in three sets
