Iga Swiatek banished the last of her grasscourt demons to blaze into her first Wimbledon final as the former world number one produced a performance of sizzling intensity to complete a quick-fire 6-2 6-0 demolition of Belinda Bencic on Thursday.

THE ALL ENGLAND CLUB, LONDON — Iga Świątek is not messing around as she moves into her first Wimbledon final. She dominated Belinda Bencic 6-2, 6-0 Thursday to set up a meeting with Amanda Anisimova of the U.S., with the controlled, clinical aggression on both serve and return that has defined her tennis the past fortnight.

Belinda Bencic advanced to the semifinals in just her second Grand Slam since since returning from maternity leave, upsetting Mirra Andreeva through a pair of tiebreaks Wednesday at Wimbledon.
