Iga Swiatek delivered a commanding performance on Saturday to win her first Wimbledon title in emphatic fashion, dismantling Amanda Anisimova 6-0, 6-0 in just 57 minutes on Centre Court.
The Polish star, playing in her maiden Wimbledon final, showed no mercy against an error-prone Anisimova, securing her sixth Grand Slam title and becoming the first woman in 113 years to win a Wimbledon final without dropping a single game — a feat last achieved by Dorothea Lambert Chambers in 1911.
“It feels super surreal,” said the 24-year-old, who had previously lifted all her major titles on clay or hard courts.
“Honestly, I didn’t even dream of winning Wimbledon because it felt so far, away. I’ve won other Slams and have experience, but I never expected this moment.
”From the opening point, Swiatek asserted her dominance with deep, heavy groundstrokes that overwhelmed the American, who never found her rhythm.
Anisimova, seeded 13th, committed 28 unforced errors and five double faults in a nervy and forgettable outing.
Despite strong crowd support on Centre Court, the 22-year-old American couldn’t find a way into the match and looked emotionally drained by the end.
Holding back tears during her runner-up speech, Anisimova said, “It’s been an amazing two weeks for me, even though I ran out of gas.
I wish I could have done better for you today.”Swiatek’s latest triumph further cements her status as one of the game’s modern greats.
She now joins an elite group of players who have won Grand Slam titles on all three surfaces — clay, hard, and grass — becoming the youngest to do so since Serena Williams in 2002.
Her sixth major title moves her ahead of legends like Maria Sharapova and Martina Hingis in the Open era.
Known as the ‘Queen of Clay’ thanks to her four French Open victories, Swiatek’s success on grass — previously considered her weakest surface — now showcases her all-court prowess.
After falling short in the semi-finals of this year’s French Open, Swiatek used the extra preparation time to fine-tune her grass-court game.
The result was a near-perfect campaign at SW19, capped by a historic double-bagel in the final.
Although Anisimova struggled, Swiatek’s relentless pressure and precision left little room for resistance — a hallmark of a true champion finally conquering the green lawns of Wimbledon.
