For the third time, Carlos Alcaraz and Iga Swiatek have both reached the final of the same Grand Slam tournament.

After both triumphed at the 2022 US Open and 2024 French Open, Alcaraz and Swiatek will now contest for the Wimbledon titles this week.

This is a third straight final for Alcaraz, who has now won 20 straight Wimbledon matches after beating Taylor Fritz in Friday’s semi-final, though it is a first SW19 championship match for Swiatek.

The Pole had never made it past the last eight before this year, but has dropped just one set on her way to the final – including an emphatic semi-final triumph over Belinda Bencic.

Alcaraz and Swiatek hold staggering 5-0 records in Grand Slam finals heading into this weekend, and they could make even further history should they triumph in their respective finals.

Swiatek’s Grand Slam final record

After a challenging start to 2025, Swiatek’s run to the Wimbledon final means she has now reached at least one major final in five of the last six years.

The Pole reached her first Grand Slam final at the French Open in 2020, with the unseeded teenager defeating Sofia Kenin 6-4, 6-1 to lift the title.

Swiatek then regained her title in 2022 with a 6-1, 6-3 win over Coco Gauff, before defeating Ons Jabeur 6-2, 7-6(5) to triumph at the US Open later that summer.

A 6-2, 5-7, 6-4 victory over Karolina Muchova saw the Pole win her third French Open title in 2023, before winning her fourth Roland Garros crown with a 6-2, 6-1 victory over Jasmine Paolini in 2024.

Swiatek faces first-time major finalist Amanda Anisimova in Saturday’s final, a first tour-level meeting between the two.

Alcaraz’s Grand Slam final record

Having already won at least one Grand Slam title for the last four seasons, Alcaraz will now look to win a staggering sixth major title this weekend.

The Spaniard lifted his first major title thanks to a 6–4, 2–6, 7–6(1), 6–3 win versus Casper Ruud at the 2022 US Open, his sole Slam on hard courts to date.

Alcaraz then stunned Novak Djokovic in the 2023 Wimbledon final, prevailing 1–6, 7–6(6), 6–1, 3–6, 6–4 against the four-time defending champion, and completed the ‘Surface Slam’ with a 6–3, 2–6, 5–7, 6–1, 6–2 victory over Alexander Zverev at the 2024 French Open.

He claimed his fourth Grand Slam title at the All England Club last year, downing Djokovic 6-2, 6-2, 7-6(4), before his thrilling 4–6, 6–7(4), 6–4, 7–6(3), 7–6(2) triumph over Jannik Sinner at Roland Garros last month.

Having saved three championship points to beat Sinner at Roland Garros, Alcaraz will again face the Italian in the Wimbledon final.

Historic Club

Alcaraz and Swiatek are already two of only four players to have won their first five Grand Slam singles finals in the Open Era.

They have emulated tennis icons Roger Federer and Monica Seles, two undisputed greats of the sport.

However, both could now join Federer and Seles in moving to 6-0 in finals, should they beat Anisimova and Sinner, respectively.

If Swiatek were to triumph, she would equal Seles’ female Open Era record, with the nine-time major champion winning her first six Grand Slam finals before losing the 1992 Wimbledon final.

Alcaraz could also move level with Seles’ 6-0 milestone, though would also be just one final away from equalling Federer.

The Swiss holds the male and overall Open Era record of seven wins from seven in his first Grand Slam finals, not tasting defeat until the 2006 French Open final.
