Iga Swiatek thrashes Anisimova 6-0, 6-0 to win maiden Wimbledon title

Iga Swiatek claimed her maiden Wimbledon title in dominant fashion on Saturday, defeating Amanda Anisimova 6-0, 6-0 in a historic women's final. It marked the first time in 114 years that a Wimbledon women’s final ended with one player failing to win a single game. 

 

The match, held on a sunny and breezy afternoon at Centre Court, lasted just 57 minutes. With the emphatic win, Swiatek secured her sixth Grand Slam trophy and maintained a perfect record in major finals, now standing at 6-0.

 

The 24-year-old Polish star controlled the contest from start to finish, outscoring Anisimova 55-24 in total points, despite hitting only 10 winners. Anisimova struggled throughout the match, committing 28 unforced errors and never finding her rhythm against Swiatek’s composed performance. 

Iga Swiatek dropped just 24 of the 79 points played during Saturday’s Wimbledon final, needing only 10 winners to claim a commanding win. Her opponent, Amanda Anisimova, struggled from the outset, committing 28 unforced errors in a nervy performance.

 

This marked the first 6-0, 6-0 result in a Wimbledon women’s singles final since 1911, when Dorothea Lambert Chambers defeated Dora Boothby. Only one other Grand Slam women’s final has ended in such dominant fashion, a double bagel from Steffi Graf against Natasha Zvereva in the 1988 French Open final.

 

A Century of Wins in Majors 

Swiatek’s emphatic victory, achieved in just 57 minutes on a sunny and breezy day at Centre Court, was her 100th match win at a Grand Slam. It came in her 120th major match, making her the fastest woman to reach that milestone since Serena Williams did so in 116 matches at the 2004 US Open.

 

The triumph also ended a personal drought, as it was Swiatek’s first title since winning Roland Garros in June 2024.

 

Emotional Milestone 

Speaking after the win, Swiatek reflected on the moment as trophies were presented by Kate, the Princess of Wales.

 

“Honestly, I never dreamed of this, it felt too far away,” she said. “Even though I’ve won Slams before and feel experienced, I didn’t expect to win here. I’m so grateful to my team, they believed in me more than I did.”

 

Swiatek becomes the eighth straight woman to win her maiden Wimbledon title, but her victory stands out due to its sheer dominance and historical significance.
