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.

Iga Swiatek has reached the Wimbledon semifinals for the first time with a 6-2, 7-5 victory over 19th-seeded Liudmila Samsonova that went from a stroll to a bit of a struggle in the late stages.

Belinda Bencic reached a first Wimbledon semi-final as she beat Mirra Andreeva in straight sets on Centre Court. Seventh seed Andreeva had been the firm favourite, with the 18-year-old up to this point not dropping a set on her impressive run to the quarter-finals.
