Iga Swiatek Makes Wimbledon History With Ruthless 6-0 6-0 Final Victory Over Amanda Anisimova
By USA NEWS TODAY| Saturday 12 July 2025
Iga Swiatek delivered one of the most dominant performances in Wimbledon history on Saturday, defeating Amanda Anisimova 6-0 6-0 in just 57 minutes to claim her first title at the All England Club.
The Polish star became the first woman to win a Wimbledon final with a double bagel scoreline (6-0, 6-0) since 1911, when Dorothea Lambert Chambers beat Dora Boothby. This marks only the third instance of such a result in a Grand Slam final, the last coming at the 1988 French Open when Steffi Graf defeated Natasha Zvereva.
Swiatek ended her year-long title drought in sensational style, asserting total dominance from the very first point on Centre Court. Anisimova, playing in her first Grand Slam final, struggled to find rhythm, making 28 unforced errors and failing to win a single game.
Swiatek: "It feels super surreal"
Speaking during the trophy presentation, an emotional Swiatek said:
"It feels super surreal. I didn’t even dream of winning Wimbledon—it always seemed so far away. I’m already an experienced Slam winner, but this one is just... different."
She also praised Anisimova’s tournament run:
"I want to congratulate Amanda for an amazing two weeks. I hope we’ll play many more finals together in the future."
Swiatek, who had previously won all five of her Grand Slam finals, showed once again why she’s one of the most feared frontrunners in tennis. With crisp movement, flawless shot-making, and relentless focus, she never gave Anisimova a chance to settle. The first set was over in just 25 minutes.
Anisimova's struggles and tears
The 23-year-old American was visibly shaken during the match, at one point screaming in frustration. The blustery conditions didn’t help her cause, but it was ultimately Swiatek’s relentless pressure that proved overwhelming.
Anisimova, who returned to tennis in 2024 after an eight-month mental health break, addressed the crowd tearfully after the loss:
"Iga, you’re such an incredible player—today you really showed it. You've inspired me so much. This was an amazing fortnight for me, even if today didn’t go my way. Thank you to everyone who supported me."
British Glory in Men's Doubles
While the women’s singles final was historic for its scoreline, British tennis made history of its own in the men’s doubles. Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool became the first all-British pair to win the title since 1936, defeating Rinky Hijikata and David Pel 6-2, 7-6 (7-3).
“When you say that out loud, it sounds unbelievable,” Glasspool said. “We’ve had one Brit win it in recent years—now you’ve got two!”
However, there was disappointment in the men’s wheelchair doubles final, where top seeds Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid were upset by Martin De La Puente and Ruben Spaargaren, 7-6 (7-1), 7-5.
Royal Applause and Celebrities in Attendance
The Royal Box was packed for the women’s final. The Princess of Wales, patron of the All England Club, was joined by a star-studded crowd including Sir Mo Farah, actor Stanley Tucci, director Greta Gerwig, and her husband Noah Baumbach.
