Iga Swiatek took just 57 minutes to win Wimbledon’s first title and his sixth major championship.
She was the third highest double Bagel ever in the women’s major finals, and since 1988 she was the first double Bagel to beat Natasha Zvereva in the French Open. Previously, they had not featured a 6-0, 6-0 score in the women’s final since Wimbledon in 1911, when Dorothea Lambert Chambers beat Dora Boothby.
Swiatek, 24, from Poland, improved to 6-0 in the major finals, adding a grass court slam to four French open trophies and one US Open collection. She will always be the eighth female player and active player to win major titles on all three surfaces.
Swiatek broke his opponent in the opening game and added two more breaks to clinch the first set in 25 minutes. She finished at an edge of 55-24 with total points, accumulating despite the need to produce only 10 winners. Anisimova was unstable from the start, committing 28 forced errors.
It took Swiatek, the junior champion of Wimbledon in 2018, to really find her footing and be comfortable in the grass. She started her career with a tour level record of 6-5 on the surface, but has won 19 of such games since 2023. Wimbledon marks her first career WTA grass coat title.
Swiatek spent most of 2022, 2023 and 2024 in the WTA rankings in No. 1, but after 15 straight WTA main draw events over a year and more than a year, without claiming the title, he finished 8th in the All England Club. Before Saturday, her final title had come at the 2024 French Open.
She served as a one-month doping ban last year after failing an out-of-competitive drug test. The investigation determined that she was inadvertently exposed to contaminated medical products used for sleep and pier troubles.
Sweet’s sunny, refreshing afternoon victory on Center Court was her 100th major in her 120th career grand slam match. She is the fastest woman to win 100 major match games since Serena Williams, who reached the mark in 116 matches at 2004 US Open. Before Saturday, during the opening era there was only one player to win his 100th major match victory in the final – Andy Murray at 2012 US Open.
The championship match was the first match for 23-year-old Anishimoba in the Grand Slam tournament. She was a semi-finalist at the 2019 French Open at age 17 and left the tour with a mental health break more than two years ago.
A year ago, Anishimoba tried to qualify for Wimbledon. The rankings at 189th were too low to automatically enter the field, but they lost in the preliminary event. She will break into the top 10 in the rankings for the first time next week.
