The women’s final of the most prestigious tournament in tennis is here as rising American star Amanda Anisimova squares off with Iga Swiatek for the Wimbledon title on Saturday.
Świątek, the No. 8 seed with four French Open trophies to her name, entered as a favorite and lived up to the hype. She defeated Belinda Bencic in the semifinal Thursday to get to this point.
Anisimova, of New Jersey, was a bit more of a surprise as she upset No. 1 seed Aryna Sabalenka in their most recent match. The 23-year-old has also been open about her mental health struggles in the past, having taken time off two years ago before returning to the tour.
