Iga Swiatek dominated the Wimbledon women's final, claiming her first title with a commanding 6-0, 6-0 victory over Amanda Anisimova in just 58 minutes. This double bagel was the first in the tournament's women's final since 1911, showcasing Swiatek's mastery on Centre Court. Anisimova, visibly overwhelmed in her first Grand Slam final, struggled to cope, racking up 28 unforced errors.

This victory marked Swiatek's first title since her 2024 French Open win and her sixth major trophy overall. With this achievement, Swiatek joined an elite group, becoming the second player in the Open era to claim a Grand Slam title without dropping a game in the final, following Steffi Graf's 1988 French Open win over Natalia Zvereva. Swiatek humbly described her win as “super surreal,” making history as Poland's first Open-era Wimbledon singles champion.

“I didn't even dream, for me it was way too far. I feel like I am already an experienced player after winning the Slams before but I never expected this one.

“This year I really, really enjoyed it and feel I improved my form here.

“I am always going to remember the opening of champagne bottles between serves. It is a sound that will keep me awake at night.”

Swiatek's strong form continued after reaching the final at Bad Homburg two weeks prior, as top seeds fell around her at Wimbledon. She demonstrated her dominance, losing only one set en route to the final. Meanwhile, 13th seed Amanda Anisimova was expected to provide stiff competition after upsetting world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka in the semis. However, Swiatek delivered a ruthless performance, dismantling Anisimova with ease.

Anisimova struggled to settle in the sweltering Centre Court conditions, with the Princess of Wales in attendance. She was quickly broken in the first game and soon trailed 2-0, showing early signs of distress.

Anisimova briefly steadied her service game but Swiatek's relentless pressure paid off as the American double-faulted, extending the deficit to 3-0. With Anisimova facing a set-bageling at 4-0 down, Swiatek's momentum proved unstoppable. The Pole swiftly wrapped up the first set 6-0 in a mere 25 minutes, exposing Anisimova's struggles.

Anisimova managed only six service points in the first set and accumulated 14 unforced errors. Her struggles continued into the second set, where she double-faulted in the third game, gifting Swiatek game point, and then netted a crucial backhand, further highlighting her growing frustration.

The crowd's support couldn't shift the momentum as Swiatek maintained her level, serving out for the win and celebrating before consoling her defeated opponent. With this victory, Swiatek became part of a notable trend, marking her as the eighth consecutive first-time women's champion at Wimbledon, a streak that began after Serena Williams' 2016 win.

Anisimova, visibly distraught, briefly exited the court before returning for the trophy ceremony. During her on-court speech, she became emotional again, breaking down in tears. “You're such an incredible player and it obviously showed today,” she said, offering heartfelt praise to Swiatek.

“You've been such an inspiration to me. You've had such an incredible two weeks here. Getting to your first Wimbledon final here and winning is so special.”
