Iga Swiatek crushes Anisimova 6-0, 6-0 to claim her first Wimbledon crown in historic final

London: Iga Swiatek’s elusive Wimbledon dream turned into a commanding reality on Saturday, July 12, as the Polish star steamrolled Amanda Anisimova in a one-sided final to clinch her first title at the All England Club.

Swiatek needed just 57 minutes to dismantle Anisimova 6-0, 6-0 on Centre Court, delivering a performance as ruthless as it was historic. In doing so, she became the first player in the Open Era to win a Wimbledon singles final without conceding a single game — across both the men’s and women’s draws.

The victory also marked Swiatek’s first Grand Slam title since completing a French Open treble last year, and her first-ever triumph on grass.

Facing Anisimova — who had stunned top seed Aryna Sabalenka in the semi-finals — Swiatek took control from the opening game, breaking serve immediately and consolidating with a swift hold.

Despite Anisimova managing to save a break point early on, she had no answers for Swiatek’s relentless pressure.

The World No. 2 raced to a 5-0 lead with clinical efficiency and closed out the first set in just 25 minutes. Anisimova’s game unravelled under the weight of 14 unforced errors, while Swiatek committed only two.

The second set mirrored the first, with Swiatek once again breaking early and never looking back.

Even when Anisimova pushed back briefly, saving two break points, Swiatek pounced on the third to go up 3-0.

The 23-year-old gave her opponent no breathing room, breaking a third time in the second set and marching to a historic win as Centre Court looked on in awe.
