American Amanda Anisimova and Polish star Iga Świątek to face off in Wimbledon final on Saturday

Get ready for an exciting Wimbledon final on Saturday! American Amanda Anisimova and Polish star Iga Świątek will face off for the championship. This is a big deal for both players, as neither has ever won the Wimbledon title before.

Anisimova's Upset Victory

Amanda Anisimova had a tough match against Aryna Sabalenka, who is ranked number one in the world. Anisimova won with a score of 6-4, 4-6, 6-4. This win is a major achievement for Anisimova, especially since she took some time off from tennis in 2023 to focus on her mental health. She says it's proof that you can still reach the top even after taking a break.

After her win, Anisimova said she's looking forward to playing against Świątek. She admires Świątek's hard work and achievements. Anisimova hopes to play well and make it a good competition, but mostly she wants to enjoy the experience.

Świątek's Dominant Performance

Iga Świątek had a much easier time in her semifinal match. She beat Belinda Bencic 6-2, 6-0 in just over an hour. Świątek is a five-time grand slam champion, but she's usually better on clay courts. She hasn't always done well on grass, so reaching the Wimbledon final is a surprise.

Świątek herself said she never expected to reach the final. She's excited and proud of her performance. She feels confident and is serving well. Świątek has played in five grand slam finals before and won them all, giving her an edge in experience.

First-Time Wimbledon Winner Guaranteed

Since neither Anisimova nor Świątek has ever won Wimbledon, Saturday's match will crown a new champion. It will be interesting to see who can handle the pressure and take home the title.

Djokovic's Condition

In other news, Novak Djokovic, a top player in the men's competition, didn't practice on Thursday. He had a fall during his quarterfinal match and is hoping it won't affect his performance in the semifinals. Jannik Sinner, another semifinalist, also had an elbow injury but managed to win his quarterfinal match.

Świątek's Strange Food Choice

Iga Świątek has a unique food tradition at Wimbledon: strawberries with pasta and yogurt! She says it's a popular dish in Poland and a perfect combination of flavors. While some people find it odd, Świątek loves it and says it's what she ate as a kid. She encourages everyone to try it.

Saturday's final promises to be a thrilling match between two talented players with very different paths to the final. Be sure to tune in!
