For years, Iga Swiatek never felt at home on Wimbledon's grass—until Saturday’s final rewrote her script. The 24-year-old from Poland dominated Amanda Anisimova in a stunning 6-0,6-0 victory to claim her first Wimbledon title.
In just 57 minutes on Centre Court, Swiatek delivered the first double bagel in a women’s final since 1911, improving her record to an unblemished 6-0 in major finals. With the Princess of Wales in the Royal Box, the atmosphere crackled as Swiatek’s precision and power left the 23-year-old American searching for answers.
“It feels super surreal,” Swiatek said after the match. Her path to the All England Club trophy was defined by an aggressive serve, relentless groundstrokes, and newfound confidence on grass—elements she once doubted she’d master.
Anisimova admitted fatigue and a sore right shoulder hampered her play. “I was in shock,” she reflected, having even skipped Friday’s practice to rest. The result was decisive, as Swiatek’s footwork and depth control proved too much for her opponent to handle.
Beyond the scoreline, this victory cements Swiatek’s status among tennis’ elite and inspires a new generation of players. From Warsaw courts to Wimbledon lawns, her journey shows how adaptability, grit, and self-belief can turn doubt into dominance.
