Iga Świątek has claimed her maiden Wimbledon championship in breathtaking fashion, delivering a stunning 6-0, 6-0 "double bagel" victory over American Amanda Anisimova in the final on Saturday. The Polish star's flawless performance on Centre Court secured her sixth Grand Slam title and a place in history as she completed the career surface slam, having now won major titles on clay, hard court, and grass.
The much-anticipated final quickly turned into a masterclass from the 24-year-old. From the outset, Świątek displayed relentless aggression and precision, leaving her opponent with few answers. Anisimova, who had enjoyed a remarkable run to her first Grand Slam final, was unable to find her rhythm against the Pole's overwhelming baseline game and formidable serving. The entire match was a swift affair, concluding in well under an hour.
This victory marks a significant resurgence for Świątek, who had not won a title since her 2024 French Open triumph. Her path to the Wimbledon final was a testament to her improved form on grass, a surface she has admittedly been working to master. Throughout the tournament, she dropped only one set, showcasing a newfound confidence and adaptability.
With this win, Świątek not only adds the prestigious Venus Rosewater Dish to her trophy cabinet but also becomes the first Polish woman to win a Wimbledon singles title in the Open Era. Her dominant display in the final will be remembered as one of the most one-sided in recent Wimbledon history, solidifying her status as a versatile and formidable force in women's tennis.
