Iga Swiatek delivered a breathtaking performance at Wimbledon, overpowering Amanda Anisimova in the final with a flawless 6‑0, 6‑0 victory. In just 57 minutes, she captured her first Wimbledon crown and sixth Grand Slam title. This dominating win places her alongside tennis legend Steffi Graf as the only women in the Open Era to achieve a “double bagel” in a Grand Slam final .
Swiatek’s display of dominance transcended mere athleticism. She dropped just 35 games throughout the tournament—the fewest by any woman in a Wimbledon edition this century . Her efficient, powerful style left Anisimova, appearing in her first major final, unable to settle, committing 28 unforced errors and struggling to find her footing .
This win isn’t just another title—it’s a historic milestone. Swiatek is only the second woman after Graf to shut out a Grand Slam final, replicating Graf’s feat at the 1988 French Open . Moreover, she stands as the first Polish player ever to win Wimbledon, and becomes part of a rare group of champions who’ve claimed major titles across all three surfaces—grass, clay, and hard courts
Beyond the storyline, this victory made a tangible impact on her career earnings and ranking. The Wimbledon cheque (about $4 million) vaulted Swiatek into third place on the WTA’s all-time prize-money list, surpassing both Simona Halep and Maria Sharapova . On the WTA rankings front, she’s set to rise from No. 4 to No. 3
Swiatek remains perfect in Grand Slam finals—6 wins from 6 showdowns—joining an elite club that includes Monica Seles and Margaret Court . She now eyes the Australian Open to complete the Career Grand Slam, a finale that could cement her place among the sport’s all-time greats
