Amanda Anisimova and Iga Swiatek will do battle in the Women’s Wimbledon Final on Saturday night in what should be a cracking match. Both women have been in dominant form this fortnight and a win either way would make for a great story.
We bring you our preview and tip for the Women’s Wimbledon Final below and if you’re keen to follow along, consider joining Dabble!
A fascinating contrast in styles and stories will be on display at Centre Court as American Amanda Anisimova and Poland's Iga Swiatek clash for the Wimbledon title. Both are vying for their first-ever grass-court Grand Slam, promising a thrilling conclusion to the tournament. For Swiatek, it’s a chance to conquer the final frontier in her already stellar career, while for Anisimova, it represents the culmination of a remarkable comeback journey.
Amanda Anisimova’s path to the final has been nothing short of inspirational. The 13th seed, who took an eight-month hiatus from the sport in 2023 to focus on her mental health, has played with renewed power and belief. Her stunning semi-final victory over the formidable world number one, Aryna Sabalenka, was a testament to her resilience and thunderous baseline game. Anisimova’s flat, powerful groundstrokes are tailor-made to be disruptive on the low-bouncing grass, allowing her to dictate play and hit through opponents. Having weathered the storm of high-pressure moments throughout the tournament, she has proven she has the mental fortitude to accompany her immense talent.
On the other side of the net stands Iga Swiatek, a five-time Grand Slam champion who has finally unlocked the secrets of success on grass. Long considered a clay-court specialist, Swiatek has looked increasingly comfortable and dominant on the lawns of SW19. Her 6-2, 6-0 demolition of Belinda Bencic in the semi-finals was a masterclass in aggressive, all-court tennis, showcasing an improved serve and relentless returning. Having reached the final, Swiatek has now made the championship match at every major, and her perfect 5-0 record in Grand Slam finals gives her an undeniable edge in experience and big-match temperament.
While Anisimova's power game makes her a dangerous opponent, Swiatek's superior movement, defensive skills, and tactical variety should prove decisive. The Pole's ability to absorb and redirect pace will be crucial in neutralizing Anisimova's first-strike tennis. Look for Swiatek to extend the rallies, move Anisimova around the court, and exploit any inconsistencies that creep into the American's high-risk game. Swiatek's confidence is soaring, and her championship pedigree is unmatched. Expect her to win and cover the games handicap.
