Iga Świątek showcased a performance for the ages, overpowering Amanda Anisimova with a staggering 6–0, 6–0 victory in a breathtaking Wimbledon final that unfolded in just 57 minutes.
From the very first point, Świątek commanded the court, never yielding and clinching her sixth Grand Slam title, marking her debut as a Wimbledon champion.
Anisimova, entering her inaugural Grand Slam final, displayed noticeable nerves right from the start. As tension mounted, her movements felt constrained, hindering her ability to swing freely.
Post-match, Anisimova reflected: “Iga played exceptionally well from the beginning, so all the credit goes to her. She executed her game plan flawlessly.”
“Personally, I felt a bit frozen by my nerves. Perhaps the past two weeks had drained me. But I have to admit, she made it extremely challenging for me.
“She’s an incredible player, as I’ve mentioned before. She truly deserves this victory.”

Anisimova struggled to find her footing, her timing off, and her footwork heavy under the pressure of the occasion and the fierce intensity of Świątek’s striking.
The statistics tell a compelling tale: Świątek served 3 aces against 2 double faults, while Anisimova recorded 0 aces and 5 double faults. Świątek dominated her first serve, winning 72% of the points compared to Anisimova’s 26%. The top speed of Świątek’s serve reached 121 mph, outpacing Anisimova’s 112 mph. Overall, Świątek delivered 10 winners with 11 unforced errors, while Anisimova struggled with 8 winners and a notable 28 unforced errors.
This result etched its place in history as the first 6–0, 6–0 women’s final at Wimbledon since 1911, and only the second time in the Open Era that a Grand Slam final concluded without the runner-up scoring a game.
With this remarkable victory, Świątek adds to her accolades across clay, hard, and grass courts, solidifying her reputation as the most versatile player of her era. The Australian Open now awaits, representing the final step towards her career Grand Slam.
In her post-match comments, Świątek shared, “My goal today was to relish my time on Centre Court and embrace these final moments of competing well on grass, as who knows when it will happen again. (smiling)
“I focused on that and genuinely enjoyed it. Sure, I was a bit stressed like anyone would be, but I aimed to simply execute my game plan and that was it.”
