Iga Swiatek hammers Amanda Anisimova to win maiden Wimbledon title

Iga Swiatek’s long-awaited Wimbledon triumph finally arrived as she captured the title on Saturday, July 12, at the All England Club, defeating Amanda Anisimova in emphatic fashion. Anisimova, who had stunned World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka in the semifinals, was no match for Swiatek, who needed just 57 minutes to complete a dominant 6-0, 6-0 victory on Centre Court.

The win marked Swiatek’s first Wimbledon title, her maiden triumph on grass, and her first Grand Slam title since completing a hat-trick of French Open wins last year. Remarkably, it was also the first time in the Open Era that a player failed to win a single game in a Wimbledon singles final - men’s or women’s.

Swiatek wasted no time asserting her dominance after taking an early 1-0 lead with a break of serve. She quickly raced to 40-0, and although Anisimova saved one break point with a winner, Swiatek closed out the game decisively and followed it with a commanding service game.

She continued to apply pressure, going up 3-0 with a double break as Anisimova



struggled to find her footing. Swiatek gave her opponent no room to recover, breaking serve for a third time to take a 5-0 lead. She then wrapped up the set in just 25 minutes, holding Anisimova to love.

Anisimova’s first-set performance was marred by 14 unforced errors, in stark contrast to Swiatek’s two. The dominant showing marked Swiatek’s second consecutive 6-0 set - following her similar win over Belinda Bencic in the second semi-final.

Swiatek began the second set just as she had the first - securing an early break before holding serve to go up 2-0. The Pole continued to build momentum, extending her lead to 3-0 with a double break. Although Anisimova managed to save two break points in the third game, Swiatek capitalized on the third opportunity to firmly maintain control.

Swiatek gave Anisimova no openings, racing to a 5-0 lead in the second set with a third consecutive service break. From there, it was only a matter of time before she cruised to the finish line, sealing victory in front of a packed Centre Court.
