    What an incredible performance for Iga Swiatek, you can see the reaction, the pure joy and the whole of Centre Court are on their feet.

  3. Swiatek 6-2 6-0 Bencic

    Iga Swiatek is the only active player to reach a final on all three surfaces in women's Grand Slam events.

    Iga charges into the final.

    What a performance that was.

  5. Absolute dominance

    Gary Rose
    BBC Sport at Wimbledon

    Well what can you do when your opponent plays like that? Absolute dominance from Iga Swiatek and she will be well rested for Saturday's final after racing through that.

    A sixth Grand Slam final appearance and, ominously, she has won every other one she has played in.

  6. game, set and match

    Game, set and match - Swiatek

    Swiatek 6-2 6-0 Bencic

    Iga Swiatek has done it!

    The five-time Grand Slam champion is through to her first Wimbledon final and what a way to do it - hitting a backhanded winner to seal the victory.

    The Pole was imperious there, giving up just two games in a little over 74 minutes.

    She'll face Amanda Anisimova in Saturday's final.

  7. 'Too much of a gulf'

    I predicted Swiatek to win in two before the match and it looks like we're going that way. When I was comparing the statistics there was just way too much of a gulf between the two players.

  8. Swiatek holds

    Swiatek 6-2 5-0 Bencic*

    That's as comfortable a service game as Iga Swiatek has had all afternoon.

    The Pole holds to love, leaving Belinda Bencic on the grass as she hits the game point.

    The Swiss will serve to stay in this match next.

  9. 'Iga taking responsibility'

    Martina Navratilova

    I like that Iga Swiatek stuck with her team after difficult results. There were questions about that but she bought into it and now it's paying off.

    Quite often when you don't get good results players get rid of their coach but Iga is taking responsibility for herself.

  11. Swiatek double breaks

    *Swiatek 6-2 4-0 Bencic

    After saving one break point, Belinda Bencic double faults to give Iga Swiatek another.

    The Pole makes no mistake this time, ripping a forehand down the line that Bencic can't return.

    It's a long way back for the Swiss now.

  12. Swiatek 6-2 3-0 Bencic*

    Gary Rose
    BBC Sport at Wimbledon

    Iga Swiatek is playing some statement-making tennis here. The serve is strong and she's winning some superbly constructed points. Belinda Bencic has not done a great deal wrong through but Swiatek, at the moment, is playing on another level.

  13. Swiate 6-2 3-0 Bencic*

    Gigi Salmon
    BBC Sport tennis commentator on BBC Radio 5 Live and BBC Sounds

    My word! Just everything is working so well for Iga Swiatek right now.

  14. Swiatek holds

    Swiate 6-2 3-0 Bencic*

    Simple as you like for Iga Swiatek, who holds to 15 and finishes with an ace.

    There's just no weakness in her game right now. She's hitting so cleanly from both sides.

  15. 'Bencic struggling to get points back-to-back'

    You can imagine from Bencic's perspective she is feeling a bit embarrassed out here because she's being thumped at the moment and she's struggling to get points back-to-back.

  16. Swiatek breaks

    *Swiatek 6-2 2-0 Bencic

    Ruthless stuff from Iga Swiatek.

    The five-time Grand Slam winner looks in unstoppable form now.

    What can Belinda Bencic do?

  17. Swiatek 6-2 1-0 Bencic*

    Marion Bartoli
    Former Wimbledon champion on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra and BBC Sounds

    Belinda Bencic has to try to play faster because we're just watching Iga Swiatek preparing herself for every single shot especially on that forehand side.

  18. Swiatek 6-2 1-0 Bencic*

    Marion Bartoli
    Former Wimbledon champion on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra and BBC Sounds

    Swiatek can barely miss a ball, she's absolutely on everything and she has an incredible percentage even on a return of serve on grass.

    Usually you can miss one or two returns when the serve is very accurate or very speedy, she has put 94 percent of return in play.

  19. 'Swiatek not allowing breathing space'

    As well as Bencic has played, Swiatek has attacked at every opportunity and not allowed any breathing space.

    I'm sure Bencic is wondering what she can do to change this.

  20. game, set and match

    Game, set and match - Cash/Glasspool

    Granollers/Zeballos 3-6 4-6 Cash/Glasspool

    British duo Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool are through to the final of the men's doubles.

    One break in either set was enough to dispatch of fourth seeds Marcel Granollers and Horacio Zeballos.

    Cash and Glasspool will take on Australian Rinky Hijikat and Dutchman David Pel in the final.
