"Honestly, Aryna is such a tough competitor and I was absolutely dying out there. I don’t know how I pulled it out. She is such an incredible competitor and she is an inspiration to me and so many other people. We have had so many tough battles and to come out on top today being in the final of Wimbledon is just so incredibly special."

In the women's singles final of the 2025 Wimbledon Championships, it will be Anisimova locking horns with five-time Major champion and former No. 1 Iga Swiatek. The Pole made short work of Belinda Bencic in the other semifinal, storming to a 6-2, 6-0 win over the Swiss.
