Iga Świątek Makes History with 6–0, 6–0 Victory to Win First Wimbledon Title

On July 12, 2025, Poland’s Iga Świątek delivered a flawless and dominant performance at the Wimbledon Championships, defeating Amanda Anisimova 6–0, 6–0 to claim her first Wimbledon title—and her sixth Grand Slam overall.

Facing the eighth seed Anisimova in her maiden major final, Świątek was in full control from the first point at Centre Court. In just 57 minutes, she produced the first “double bagel” final since 1911, making it the most one-sided women’s final at Wimbledon in 114 years. This is only the third Grand Slam final—and the first Wimbledon final—decided without a single game conceded by the champion.

The victory marks Świątek’s first title on grass, having previously won four French Opens and the 2022 US Open. She now stands as one of just a few women in tennis history to win major titles on all three surfaces—clay, hard court, and grass—and joins an exclusive group of players who have remained unbeaten in their first six Grand Slam finals.

Despite high expectations after serving a one-month suspension in 2024 due to contaminated melatonin, Świątek returned in spectacular form to become the first Polish woman to win Wimbledon in the Open Era. It also capped her 100th match win at Grand Slam level in just 120 matches, the fastest since Serena Williams achieved the feat.

For Anisimova, nerves and pressure from opening to close proved overwhelming. The American completed the match with 28 unforced errors, never managing to convert break opportunities, while Świątek maintained near-perfect execution with 78 % first-serve accuracy, powerful groundstrokes, and strategic consistency.

In her post-match remarks, Świątek called the victory “super surreal,” expressing pride in her team, coach, and personal journey—especially given the long-held doubt about her prowess on grass. At the trophy ceremony, Anisimova, visibly emotional, thanked her supporters and credited her mother’s sacrifices while maintaining her admiration for Świątek’s performance.

This decisive Wimbledon final will long be remembered as a landmark moment in women’s tennis—solidifying Świątek’s status as a formidable champion and demonstrating just how dominant an elite player can be on the sport’s biggest stage.
