Iga Swiatek secured her first Wimbledon title in July 2025, overcoming Amanda Anisimova with a commanding 6-0, 6-0 victory at SW19. After a challenging first half of the season devoid of WTA titles, the Polish star’s dominant performance in the Wimbledon final highlighted her return to top form.

Swiatek’s Determination in the Wimbledon Championship Match

Swiatek’s run-up to Wimbledon had been difficult, especially following the loss of her French Open champion status in June. Despite doubts about her form, she demonstrated resilience and exceptional focus during the grass-court Grand Slam. When questioned at the Wimbledon Champions’ Dinner about whether she had considered ‘giving’ a game to Amanda Anisimova in the final, Swiatek responded directly.

I didn’t, but I think any athlete would understand,

she said.

This answer resonates strongly when noting that Anisimova herself had earlier produced one of only two ‘double bagel’ matches at Wimbledon 2025, defeating Yulia Putintseva 6-0, 6-0 in the first round. The fact that Anisimova had previously refused to concede any points from a game added context to Swiatek’s decision to maintain full intensity throughout the final.

Reflecting on her triumph, Swiatek shared insights into her mindset during the competition.

I am an emotional person, inside I feel much more than I show outside, I knew in this tournament I had to be brave,

she said.

She described how nervousness increased after her semifinal win, pushing her to stay focused, fight for every point, and not take any moment for granted. The lopsided final score was not planned but rather the result of full commitment.

It wasn’t planned, but I’m happy that I used every opportunity to finally lift the trophy because it’s the best feeling ever.

Adding this victory to her growing resume, Swiatek now holds six Grand Slam titles and confirms her status as one of tennis’s premier players.

Moving Up the Ranks of Active Grand Slam Champions

Swiatek’s sixth major title advanced her to second place among active Grand Slam winners, placing her behind Novak Djokovic. Prior to Wimbledon, she was tied with Carlos Alcaraz at five majors, but with her victory and his defeat, she pulled ahead. At only 24 years old, Swiatek’s accomplishment is impressive, and she remains on track to challenge Djokovic’s record over time.

Should she maintain this performance level, Swiatek could soon join the elite group of women who have won ten or more Grand Slam titles during the Open Era. Only five women have reached this milestone: Serena Williams (23), Steffi Graf (22), Chris Evert (18), Martina Navratilova (18), and Margaret Court (11).

Prospects for Swiatek’s Upcoming US Open Campaign

Swiatek will aim to capture her seventh major title at the upcoming US Open, set to begin on August 24. She previously won this tournament in 2022 by defeating Ons Jabeur in straight sets, marking her first major victory on a hard court. This year, she will face formidable opponents such as Aryna Sabalenka and Coco Gauff as she tries to add another Grand Slam to her collection.

The Polish player’s Wimbledon victory highlights her renewed confidence and determination, suggesting she will again be a strong contender on the hard courts of New York. Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see if Swiatek can continue her impressive run and move closer to joining the all-time greats of women’s tennis.
