Iga Swiatek and Amanda Anisimova are set to face off in the Wimbledon 2025 women’s singles final this Saturday. The 24-year-old Pole, who was seeded No. 8, made her way to the final with a convincing 6-2, 6-0 win over Belinda Bencic in the semifinals. The match was over in just 72 minutes, and it’s her first time reaching the final at the All England Club.
So, 23-year-old Anisimova, who’s ranked No. 13, just made it to her first Grand Slam final! She pulled off a tough 6-4, 4-6, 6-4 win against world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka, wrapping up a 2-hour and 37-minute match. This is the very first senior meeting between Swiatek and Anisimova.
Swiatek comes in with five major titles under her belt—four French Opens and one US Open. She’s a former world No. 1 and definitely the favorite in this matchup. Anisimova is crafting her own comeback story. After taking a break due to burnout and bouncing back from some qualifying setbacks, she’s now just 90 minutes away from her first major championship.
Both players are looking to make their mark in Wimbledon history—Swiatek wants to grab her sixth Slam and finally conquer the grass, while Anisimova is hoping to bring back some American pride at SW19. So, besides winning that awesome Venus Rosewater Dish, what’s the prize money like for the champion? And what about the runner-up?
This year’s Championships have really raised the bar when it comes to the financial stakes. According to Wimbledon’s official website, the All England Club has announced a record-breaking prize fund of £53.5 million, which is about $72 million. Both the men’s and women’s singles champions are set to take home £3 million, which is around $4 million. The runner-up in the women’s singles will take home £1,520,000 (around $2,051,848), whether it’s Swiatek or Anisimova who comes up just short.
