Anisimova will now likely have to produce a similar performance if she is to win a first Grand Slam title, with Swiatek looking dominant in her 6-2 6-0 win against Belinda Bencic to reach a maiden Wimbledon final.
These two played in an epic fourth-round match at Wimbledon two years ago, with Swiatek coming back from the brink by saving two match points to win.
But this was anything but close as Swiatek powered into her sixth Grand Slam final, and an ominous sign for her opponent is that she has won all five of those she has played in before.
“I am just super excited and proud of myself,” she said.
“Tennis keeps surprising me. I thought I’d experienced everything before but I didn’t experience playing well on grass.
“I feel with my movement and I am serving really well and it is working.”
Swiatek looked focused and composed from the moment she arrived on court with her headphones on, revealing afterwards that she listens to AC/DC to motivate her for her matches.
It clearly worked as Swiatek dropped just two games and wrapped up the win in just 74 minutes.
She set the tone from the outset, breaking Bencic’s serve at the first time of asking, although the unseeded Swiss hurt her knee as she extended her leg awkwardly making a return.
A delay because of a medical issue in the crowd gave Bencic time to recover and, although her movement initially seemed a bit stiff, she soon got into her flow.
There was little Bencic was doing wrong but she was simply facing an opponent who was playing better and a deft volley at the net helped seal a second break for Swiatek and the first set.
The Pole only dropped two points behind her first serve in the opener but back-to-back double faults in the first game of the second set were a concern, but she recovered to secure the hold.
Swiatek then immediately broke Bencic’s serve and with it her resolve it seemed as she raced through the remaining games to progress.
