A finalist at the 2019 French Open as a 17-year-old, Anisimova had slipped outside the top 400 after taking a mental health break in May 2023.
Following her win over Sabalenka, she is set to break into the top 10 for the first time, ranked No.7. A win in the final could take her as high as World No.5.
Swiatek is chasing her first title on grass. The Polish star hasn't won a title since the 2024 French Open, a drought that saw her lose the World No.1 ranking and drop out of the top five in the WTA standings.
Swiatek has largely been dominant throughout the tournament. Apart from her second-round clash against Caty McNally of the United States, she hasn't dropped serve.
In the semi-final, she elevated her game, not only defeating Belinda Bencic but also serving up a bagel.
Iga Swiatek and Amanda Anisimova are set to face off in the Wimbledon 2025 women's singles final on Saturday, July 12.
Both players will be aiming for their maiden title at the All England Club.

'Sachin Tendulkar-Virat Kohli Level': 14-Year-Old India Star Finds Fan Following In England
Vaibhav Suryavanshi impressed everyone with his stunning performances during India U-19's 3-1 series win over England in the Youth ODIs. The 14-year-old, who became a sensation through his performances for Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2025, scored 355 runs at a a strike rate of 174. The youngster slammed 27 sixes during the series and even scored a stunning century. Daniel Peacock, a cricket analyst and statistician for the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), revealed how Vaibhav has been attracting a lot of attention and has also developed a fan following in England 'The first time I watched him in the flesh though, I do remember a real air of excitement at Northamptonshire for the second one-dayer – more photos, more press, the BBC had even come to see him play,' Peacock told Times Of India. 'I knew I was watching a serious star talent. He hit 86 from 31 in a 40-over game [reduced due to weather], which included six fours and nine sixes. He got a standing ovation after pulling the pacer Sebastian Morgan to backward square leg. The PA announcer, when announcing his score after the dismissal, said: 'I think we will be seeing a lot more of this boy play.'' 'Then at New Road, home of Worcestershire, in a near-perfect all-round performance, he strutted comfortably to 143 off 78 balls. By the time he walked off after being caught in the deep to spin, I think everyone inside the venue had long realised they had just witnessed something really special.' Vaibhav became a star during the series with his knocks gaining apprecation from both fans as well as experts. Peacock explained that fans were travelling from far just to see the youngster in action and he even found himself in comparison with India greats like Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli. 'People are starting to make noise about him here. Cricket fans already know who he is – even if they can't all pronounce his name. These games usually attract a few die-hards, but there's certainly been a little extra media attention (we've had the likes of BBC, The Athletic, Getty, etc.), and a lot of British-Indians have come to watch Vaibhav play in the flesh for the first time,' he said. 'I'm sure it won't be too long until he's playing at the highest level – Test and international cricket. When he does make his debut and starts scoring big, everyone in the world will know who he is.' 'The people I've spoken to in the game – I think we all have the same feeling. We've watched and witnessed a young star in the making, something very special. I would go as far as to say he's probably the best 14-year-old in any sport that I've seen live. I think the sentiment in England is that we are watching a very special young boy playing cricket – and the expectancy is Tendulkar-Kohli-level, or even beyond,' Peacock concluded.

World No.1 Sabalenka pulls out of WTA Montreal event due to fatigue
MONTREAL: World number one Aryna Sabalenka has withdrawn from the WTA Canadian Open tournament in Montreal due to fatigue, Tennis Canada announced on Wednesday. The 27-year-old from Belarus, runner-up at the Australian and French Opens, comes off semi-final runs at Wimbledon and Berlin and titles at Madrid and Miami. "I'm looking forward to kicking off the North American hard-court swing, but to give myself the best chance for success this season, I've decided it's in my best interest to skip Montreal," Sabalenka said. Missing the July 27-August 7 event leaves the reigning US Open champion only one major tuneup, at Cincinnati in August, before she tries to defend her crown on the Flushing Meadows hardcourts. "I'll miss my amazing Canadian fans, but I'm already looking forward to seeing you all next year," Sabalenka said. "Thanks for your understanding and support -- it means the world to me." Sabalenka was upset in the Wimbledon semi-finals by American Amanda Anisimova. "We're obviously disappointed that Aryna won't be with us this year," tournament director Valerie Tetreault said. World number 10 Paula Badosa of Spain withdrew from the event due to injury. The two departures opened spots in the main draw for American Caty McNally and Japan's Moyuka Uchijima. Canada's Eugenie Bouchard announced on Wednesday that she will retire from professional tennis after the WTA event in Montreal, her hometown. Bouchard, 31, rose as high as fifth in the world rankings and enjoyed her best career season in 2014 when she reached her only Grand Slam singles final at Wimbledon. She also made semi-final runs that year at the Australian and French Opens and reached the fourth round at the US Open, her best career showings in each of the Grand Slam tournaments.
