Iga Świątek secured her sixth Grand Slam title on Saturday by delivering an unprecedented performance at Wimbledon 2025, beating Amanda Anisimova 6-0, 6-0 in the final. The 24-year-old Polish star dominated from start to finish, ending the American’s surprising run through the tournament with an emphatic victory that captured worldwide attention.
Rare Double Bagel Final Echoes Past Greats
Świątek’s flawless win marks only the second time a woman has achieved a “double bagel” in a Grand Slam final, the previous instance being Steffi Graf’s 6-0, 6-0 triumph at the 1988 French Open. Her commanding display sets a new standard for excellence at Wimbledon and adds her to the elite company of past legends.
Record-Breaking Streak of Diverse Champions Continues
Entering the tournament as the eighth seed, Świątek is now the ninth distinct female winner in as many years at Wimbledon, extending a remarkable record for variety in champions. Presented the Venus Rosewater Dish after the defeat of Anisimova, she collected over $4 million in prize money, highlighting the event’s prestige and her growing legacy.
Wimbledon Final Witnessed by Icons and Royalty
Watching from the front row were tennis greats Martina Navratilova, Billie Jean King, and Martina Hingis, alongside royal figure Kate Middleton. Świątek began the match with relentless pressure, breaking Anisimova’s serve three times in the opening set while consistently challenging the younger American’s composure in her first Grand Slam final.
Early Dominance and Momentum Shift Against Anisimova
Navratilova was the last female player to take the first set 6-0 at Wimbledon, accomplishing this feat in 1983. Anisimova struggled to maintain the momentum gained during her semifinals victory over Aryna Sabalenka, appearing visibly nervous and dropping her first service game after committing three unforced errors.
Świątek’s Tactical Strength and Anisimova’s Struggles
Throughout the match, Świątek lost only one set during the entire Wimbledon tournament, using consistent first-serve pressure and precise cross-court shots to keep Anisimova on the defensive. The American committed 14 unforced errors and three double faults in the opening set, failing to win a game after just 23 minutes.
Failed Challenges as Anisimova Searches for Answers
While Anisimova had impressed with aggressive winners against Sabalenka, she was unable to replicate that level of play in the final. Her attacking shots frequently missed the mark, with errors wide of the baseline or sailing into the net, especially during the second set where Świątek maintained complete control.
Critical Moments Highlight Anisimova’s Missteps
In the fourth game of the second set, Anisimova tried to rally but faltered at crucial points, including a forehand down the line that missed wide at 40-40 and a decisive exchange where she guessed incorrectly against Świątek’s advantage. Frustration was visible as she glanced toward her coaches’ box during key stretches dominated by Świątek’s precision.
Impact of Świątek’s Historic Wimbledon Win
Świątek’s dominant performance at Wimbledon 2025 not only cements her status as one of tennis’s rising legends but also signals a potential shift in women’s tennis with new champions setting records. Amanda Anisimova’s run, though ending disappointingly, highlighted her potential while Świątek demonstrated a near-perfect example of elite athleticism and mental toughness on grass courts.
