Poland’s tennis sensation Iga Swiatek etched her name into Wimbledon history with a ruthless and unforgettable performance in the women’s singles final, defeating Amanda Anisimova 6-0, 6-0 in just 49 minutes. The staggering scoreline — a rare “double bagel” — marked one of the most dominant Grand Slam final victories in recent memory and the first ever in Wimbledon women’s final history.
Swiatek, the current World No. 1, entered the match as the heavy favorite, but even seasoned fans were unprepared for the level of command and composure she displayed on Centre Court. From the first point to the last, Swiatek controlled the tempo, broke Anisimova’s serve repeatedly, and never allowed her American opponent a moment to regroup.
“It’s surreal,” Swiatek said in her post-match interview. “To win Wimbledon has always been a dream — but to do it this way, with such precision and calmness, feels unbelievable.”
The match began with Swiatek firing winners from both wings, moving swiftly across the baseline, and punishing Anisimova’s second serves. The American, who had made a remarkable run to the final, was simply overwhelmed by Swiatek’s aggressive shot-making, razor-sharp focus, and unrelenting pressure. She managed just 15 total points in the first set and struggled with unforced errors throughout the match.
By the second set, the crowd sensed they were witnessing history. While there were moments when Anisimova appeared poised to get on the scoreboard, Swiatek saved break points and responded with commanding serves and fearless returns. The final point — a searing backhand down the line — sealed the championship in a performance that bordered on perfection.
This victory marks Swiatek’s fifth Grand Slam title and her first at Wimbledon, completing a career trifecta with prior triumphs at the French Open and US Open. At just 24 years old, she now becomes the first Polish woman to win Wimbledon and the first player since Steffi Graf in 1988 to record a double bagel in a major final.
Tennis analysts and legends quickly weighed in on social media and broadcast, hailing the performance as “one of the most flawless Wimbledon finals ever played.” Chris Evert called it “a lesson in dominance,” while John McEnroe said, “Swiatek isn’t just No. 1 — she’s in a class of her own.”
With this emphatic victory, Swiatek not only reinforced her top-ranked status but also sent a clear message to the rest of the tour: the grass court, long considered her weakest surface, is now just another stage for her growing greatness.
As the sun set over the All England Club, Iga Swiatek stood alone on Centre Court — trophy in hand, history made, and the tennis world at her feet.
