“I’m proud of myself. Tennis keeps surprising me. I think I’ve experienced everything on a court but I haven’t experienced this on grass,” said Swiatek.

Iga Swiatek banished the last of her grasscourt demons to blaze into her first Wimbledon final with a quick-fire 6-2 6-0 demolition of Belinda Bencic on Thursday.

The 23-year-old saved 11 of the 14 break points she faced to seal her place in a maiden Grand Slam final, converting her fourth match point after a gruelling two hour and 35 minute match.
