The Polish player has previously claimed four titles at Roland Garros (2020, 2022–24) and one at the US Open (2022).
This will be her first major final of the season, having fallen short in the semi-finals in both Melbourne and Paris earlier this year.
By reaching the Wimbledon final, Świątek becomes the only active player to have made Grand Slam finals on all three surfaces.
A victory on Saturday would make her the first player since Australia’s Ashleigh Barty to win majors on clay, hard, and grass courts.
Should Świątek triumph, she will move up to No. 3 in the world. A loss would leave her in fourth place.
In a lighthearted twist to the transatlantic tennis rivalry, the US Embassy in Warsaw and the Polish Embassy in Washington have engaged in a culinary challenge ahead of Saturday's final.
If Świątek wins, the US Embassy spokesperson in Warsaw will eat a plate of strawberry pasta – the Polish star's viral favourite.
If Anisimova takes the title, the head of communications at the Polish Embassy in Washington will face the iconic American peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
