History was made on Centre Court as the eighth seed, Iga Swiatek, stormed to her first Wimbledon title in a jaw-dropping, 57-minute win over USA’s Amanda Anisimova. A first Wimbledon final for both, but it was Swiatek who stole the spotlight, delivering a flawless 6–0, 6–0 or a "double bagel" to secure the crown. This was a first in a Wimbledon women’s final since 1911, and only the second ever in the Open Era.
Anisimova, the 13th seed and first-time Grand Slam finalist, entered the match on a high after taking down world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka in the semi-finals. But nerves and Swiatek’s firepower from the back of the court overwhelmed her. Visibly emotional throughout the match, the young American broke down in tears after the match, her disappointment clear, but her resolve respected by fans and players alike.
From the very first point, Swiatek looked to be in control of this contest. Her movement was crisp, her ball-striking surgical, and her serve impenetrable, losing just 11 points on serve and offering Anisimova no break chances. What was expected to be a tight contest turned into a masterclass of composure, precision, and championship-level dominance.
For Swiatek, the victory was monumental. It marked her sixth Grand Slam title and her long-awaited breakthrough on grass. She joins Margaret Court and Monica Seles as the only women to win their first 6 Grand Slam Finals. This feat solidifies her as a complete, era-defining champion.
Swiatek didn’t just win Wimbledon, she redefined it, delivering one of the most dominant performances ever seen in a Grand Slam final in the Open Era.
