Anisimova Swiatek Wimbledon

Iga Swiatek added a sixth Grand Slam to her record with a decisive victory (6-0, 6-0) against Amanda Anisimova in the final.

As in the previous seven editions, the Wimbledon tournament was set to crown a new champion. Amanda Anisimova, ranked 12th in the world, was playing her first Grand Slam final after a strong run that included a semifinal victory over Aryna Sabalenka.

Iga Swiatek, who had not won a title since her last triumph at Roland-Garros last year, fought her way to her first final on the London grass, dropping only one set along the way.

Overwhelmed by the stakes of the match, Anisimova endured a nightmare on Centre Court. In the first set, the American quickly piled up unforced errors (14) and struggled with her serve (only 33% first serves in). After just 25 minutes of play, Swiatek had taken control of the final without losing a single game.

The second set followed the same pattern, with Swiatek breaking early. Points flew by, and after just 57 minutes of play, the Polish player—without ever truly being challenged—claimed her first Wimbledon title and her sixth Grand Slam victory with a historic 6-0, 6-0 scoreline.

Indeed, no women's final at Wimbledon had ever ended with such a score. In Grand Slam history, only one other final had finished 6-0, 6-0—at Roland-Garros in 1988, when Steffi Graf defeated Natasha Zvereva in just 34 minutes.

It was a brutal defeat for Anisimova, who was never able to find her rhythm, finishing the match with just 8 winners to 28 unforced errors and a 45% first-serve percentage.

At 24, Swiatek has now won a Grand Slam title on all three surfaces, becoming the eighth player in history to achieve this feat. In the rankings, the Pole will return to the top 3, moving up to world No. 3 ahead of Jessica Pegula. Anisimova, meanwhile, can take solace in breaking into the top 10 for the first time, rising to No. 7.
