Iga Swiatek Races to First Wimbledon Title with 6-0, 6-0 Thrashing of Anisimova

THE GUARDIAN: 24-year-old Pole storms to victory in just 57 minutes / American freezes in most one-sided final in 114 years

Amanda Anisimova arrived in her first grand slam final in some of the best form of her career, but she fell apart under pressure in front of one of the greatest big-match players the sport has ever seen as Iga Swiatek inflicted a historic 6-0, 6-0 victory in 57 minutes to claim her long-awaited first Wimbledon title.

This is the first time in the open era that the Wimbledon title has been won with a double bagel. The last 6-0, 6-0 result came in 1911, when the sport barely resembled its current modern form, with Dorothea Lambert Chambers’s dominant win over Dora Boothby in the challenge match era, when the defending champion played just once. » | Tumaini Carayol at Wimbledon | Saturday, July 12, 2025
