Iga Swiatek delivered a masterclass on Centre Court, dismantling Amanda Anisimova 6-0, 6-0 in just 57 minutes to win her first Wimbledon title—and her sixth Grand Slam overall. The lopsided final was the most dominant women’s championship match at Wimbledon in 114 years.
With her flawless performance, the 24-year-old Polish star became the first woman to win a Wimbledon final without conceding a single game since Dorothea Lambert Chambers in 1911. She’s also just the second player in the Open Era to win a Grand Slam final by such a scoreline, joining Steffi Graf, who defeated Natalia Zvereva 6-0, 6-0 at the 1988 French Open.
“It feels surreal,” Swiatek said afterward. “I never dreamed this was possible. I’ve grown with every Slam, but I didn’t expect this one. I’ve really improved my grass-court game, and I enjoyed every moment this year.”
Swiatek, seeded eighth, dropped only one set throughout the tournament and captured her first grass-court title just weeks after reaching the final in Bad Homburg. The Wimbledon crown now completes her set of Grand Slam titles across all surfaces.
Despite an impressive tournament that included a semifinal upset over world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka, Anisimova struggled from the outset. Under the sweltering Centre Court sun—and with Catherine, Princess of Wales, watching from the Royal Box—the American never found her rhythm. She was broken in the opening game and quickly trailed 3-0, undone by unforced errors and double faults. Swiatek needed just 25 minutes to claim the first set, with Anisimova winning only six points on serve and committing 14 errors.
The second set followed the same pattern. Anisimova finished the match with 28 unforced errors, unable to stem the relentless pressure from Swiatek, who sealed the win in just under an hour. The victory also marked Swiatek’s 100th Grand Slam match win and extended a unique Wimbledon streak: she is now the eighth consecutive first-time women’s champion at the tournament since Serena Williams’ last title in 2016.
Swiatek remains unbeaten in major finals, with four French Open titles and a 2022 US Open crown already to her name. Her previous best at Wimbledon was a quarter-final appearance in 2023.
A visibly emotional Anisimova, who failed to qualify for Wimbledon just a year ago, briefly left the court before returning for the trophy ceremony.
“Iga is an incredible player,” she said. “I didn’t have enough today, but I’ll keep working and believing in myself. I hope to be back here one day.”
