Iga Swiatek delivered a Wimbledon final performance of pure, merciless brilliance, obliterating Amanda Anisimova 6-0, 6-0 in just 58 minutes to claim her maiden Wimbledon title and etch her name in tennis history.
With Centre Court bathed in sunshine and royalty watching from the Royal Box, the 23-year-old Pole summoned tennis of staggering quality and icy precision.
In a display that felt closer to perfection than sport, Swiatek became the first woman since 1911 to serve up a double bagel in a Wimbledon women’s singles final.
Anisimova, competing in her first Grand Slam final, was swept aside by Swiatek’s relentless weight of shot, timing, and movement.
The American’s 28 unforced errors told a story of panic and bewilderment as Swiatek refused to yield an inch, transforming the final into a showcase of ruthless, world-class dominance.
This triumph marks Swiatek’s first major since the 2024 French Open and the sixth Grand Slam crown of her astonishing career.
In doing so, she joins Steffi Graf as only the second player in the Open Era to win a major final without conceding a single game, a statistic that cements her place among tennis royalty.
“It seems super surreal,” Swiatek said, radiating joy and disbelief. “I didn’t even dream of winning here, it was way too far. But this year, I really enjoyed myself and feel I improved my form on grass.”
Few players in history have imposed themselves with such authority on the sport. Swiatek’s run to the title saw her drop just one set, navigating the draw with steely resolve as bigger names fell around her.
Even the raucous Centre Court crowd, willing Anisimova to find some foothold, could not dent the Pole’s clinical momentum.
Swiatek’s victory also continues Wimbledon’s trend of new champions, becoming the tournament’s eighth consecutive first-time women’s winner since Serena Williams lifted her last title in 2016.
As Anisimova wiped away tears during the trophy ceremony, she paid tribute to her conqueror.
“You’re such an incredible player and it obviously showed today,” she said. “You’ve been such an inspiration to me. Winning your first Wimbledon is so special.”
