Belinda Bencic

Throughout her career, the Swiss has played confidently on grass, even though her last title on this surface came in 2015. At this year’s Wimbledon, she has defeated:

• Alycia Parks (USA, rank 60): 6-0, 6-3
• Elsa Jacquemot (France, 113): 4-6, 6-1, 6-2
• Elisabetta Cocciaretto (Italy, 116): 6-4, 3-6, 7-6
• Ekaterina Alexandrova (Russia, 17): 7-6, 6-4
• Mirra Andreeva (Russia, 7): 7-6, 7-6

In her last two matches, Bencic was considered the underdog but showed resilience and mental strength. Her composure in tie-breaks against Andreeva was especially impressive, winning them 7-3 and 7-2.

Iga Swiatek

Although the Polish star held the world number one ranking for a long time, this Wimbledon semifinal is her best result at the Grand Slam tournament. Her path to this stage hasn’t involved many tie-breaks, unlike her upcoming opponent. Iga has beaten:

• Polina Kudermetova (Russia, 64): 7-5, 6-1
• Caty McNally (USA, 208): 5-7, 6-2, 6-1
• Danielle Rose Collins (USA, 54): 6-2, 6-3
• Clara Tauson (Denmark, 22): 6-4, 6-1
• Liudmila Samsonova (Russia): 6-2, 7-5

So far, Swiatek has cruised through the Wimbledon draw without facing much resistance.

Stats and Head-to-Head Record

The head-to-head record stands at 4–1 in favor of Swiatek. In last year’s Wimbledon, the Polish player beat Bencic in the Round of 16 with a score of 6-7, 7-6, 6-3.

Belinda tends to play consistently right from the start of a match. It’s hard to believe Iga will dominate her in the opening set. Our prediction is: total games in the first set over 9.5, with odds of 1.99.
