The Swiss has never played in a Grand Slam final. She only reached the top four at the 2019 US Open. Her greatest success is a gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics. The 24-year-old from Raszyn is a five-time champion at this level (four French Opens and one US Open).
They have previously played each other four times, with Świątek having won three. Their most recent encounter took place in the round of 16 at Wimbledon 2023. After a fierce battle, Świątek defeated her four-year-old rival 6-7 (4-7), 7-6 (7-2), 6-3. Bencic's only victory came in the round of 16 at the US Open 2021.
This is Świątek's third Grand Slam semifinal this season. She failed to reach the final at the Australian Open and the French Open, and in Melbourne, she was only one point away from reaching the final.
