 Iga Swiatek Dominates Anisimova with Double Bagel to Win Historic Wimbledon Title

Iga Swiatek delivered a flawless performance to defeat Amanda Anisimova 6-0, 6-0 in the most lopsided women’s Wimbledon final in over a century, claiming her sixth Grand Slam title and first on grass.

The Polish star, seeded eighth, needed just 57 minutes to complete the emphatic win on Centre Court, producing a clinical display of accuracy and power. The double-bagel result marked the first time since 1911 that a woman has won a Wimbledon final without conceding a single game—matching the feat of Dorothea Lambert Chambers.

At 24, Swiatek becomes only the second player in the Open Era to win a Grand Slam final without dropping a game, joining Steffi Graf, who achieved the same at the 1988 French Open.

“It feels surreal,” Swiatek said after her win. “I never imagined this could happen. I’ve matured through my previous Slam experiences, but this one was unexpected. I’ve enjoyed this season and I think I’ve really improved my grass-court game.”

Swiatek dropped only one set en route to the title, just two weeks after reaching the final in Bad Homburg, which signaled her growing confidence on grass.

Despite a strong tournament run that included a semi-final upset over world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka, Anisimova was unable to cope with the intensity of the final. Under the watchful eye of Catherine, Princess of Wales, in the Royal Box, Anisimova quickly fell behind, broken in the opening game and overwhelmed by Swiatek’s relentless pressure.

Swiatek sealed the first set in just 25 minutes, with Anisimova struggling under the heat and committing 14 unforced errors. The second set offered little reprieve, as the American continued to falter, finishing the match with 28 unforced errors and only six points won on serve in the opening set.

Swiatek, who now has 100 Grand Slam match wins, extends her perfect record in major finals. She is the eighth consecutive first-time women’s champion at Wimbledon since Serena Williams' last title there in 2016. Her previous best performance at the All England Club was a quarter-final finish in 2023.

An emotional Anisimova, who failed to progress past qualifying just a year ago, left the court in tears before returning for the trophy ceremony.

“Iga is an incredible player,” Anisimova said. “I didn’t have enough today, but I’ll keep working and believing. I hope to return to this stage someday.”
