Comeback queen

Two years ago, Amanda Anisimova walked away from tennis to protect her mental health.

Today, she walks onto Centre Court in a Wimbledon final.

From outside the world's top 400 to a shot at the title — this is one of the great sporting turnarounds.

Swiatek's shot at history

This is Iga Swiatek's first Wimbledon final — and her shot at becoming the first Polish woman to win the title in the Open Era.

She's 5-0 in Slam finals and is looking to win majors on clay, hard and grass — a feat no woman under 25 has achieved since Serena in 2002.

What's at stake?

£3million, 2,000 ranking points, and a lifetime of bragging rights. That's what the winner takes home.

Anisimova is already projected to make her Top 10 debut next week — and could rise to No 5 if she wins.

Swiatek, currently No 4, would jump to No 3 with victory.

A new name on the trophy

There will be a first-time Wimbledon ladies' champion crowned today — for the eighth straight edition.

The last woman to defend the title here? Serena Williams in 2016.
