The Pole maintained her momentum without breaking a sweat to seal her Championship point in a total of just 57 points, caping off with a historic ‘double bagel’ and maiden Wimbledon title.
Iga Swiatek’s historic title triumph at Wimbledon was one of the most dominant Grand Slam women’s singles finals in recent times. Amanda Anisimova, who had a brilliant run of form at the grass-court Grand Slam, including a semifinal win over World No.1 Aryna Sabalenka, had no answer to the ruthlessness that the Pole displayed in the final.
However, Anisimova will break into the top 10 of the WTA rankings once it gets updated on Monday. The American rising tennis star achieved her best finish at a Grand Slam event. Her previous best at the Major was the 2019 French Open semifinal, where she lost to eventual champion Ashleigh Barty of Australia.

Now, Iga Swiatek added the prestigious Wimbledon crown to her trophy cabinet, completing a surface slam among the active players on the WTA. Additionally, Iga became the eighth straight new women’s champion at Wimbledon.
She joined Garbine Muguruza, Angelique Kerber, Simona Halep, Ashleigh Barty, Elena Rybakina, Marketa Vondrousova, and Barbora Krejcikova in lifting the Venus Rosewater Dish for the first time in their respective careers, continuing the trend of fresh women’s champions since 2017.
After Serena Williams clinched two successive Wimbledon titles in 2016 and 2017, no female player successfully defended her crown, making Iga Swiatek added to the growing list of players to become the first champion at SW19.
