One -way game, without history. On the central the Polish is clearly superior, he does not even leave a game to the American and conquers the tournament. In the Open era, the only other female ending ended with a double 6-0 6-0 is that of Paris 1988 between Graff and Zvereva

Incredible Iga świąk. The Polish chooses a sensational way to win his first Wimbledon: the first final of the story in the Open of Slam on the grass ended 6-0 6-0. The victim is Amanda Asinimova, debut in the last act of a Slam, sweeps away in just 57 minutes from his mistakes and above all by the Polish fury, angry and aggressive as those hard rock songs he has in his ears when he enters the field. He is always on the attack from the first to the last exchange, while Billie Jean King sitting in the Royal Box next to Princess Kate agitates more understands that his shorter final record of the Open era at the All England Club (6-0 6-1 to Evonne Cawley in 1975) is in danger. When Queen Iga ends her masterpiece, right in front, she collapses on the ground and puts her hands on the face, before getting up and jumping on the grass with the same aggression with which she taught her opponent. More than a queen, Wimbledon has found a tyranny.

The triumph

Maybe not even Swiatek, the first Polish to win at the All England Club, expected it to end. “Wimbledon I didn’t even dream of it, it seemed too much to me,” he explained on the pitch. It was the great favorite of this final, not only because he had already played and won 5 Slam finals (4 Roland Garros and a US Open) but for how he had sailed this Wimbledon, demolishing Belinda Bencic in the semifinal and giving a set only to Caty McNally in the second round. Anisimova, however, had passed the number 1 of the world Aryna Sabalenka in the semifinal, and although arriving for the first time so far she was ready to battle. He has never even gone close to us: he accumulated unformed errors (28 against 11), double fouls (5 against two), struggled with the service (just 45% of the first inside against 78% of Swiatek), to check the nerves. “I finished the petrol today and I would like to play better, but it was two incredible weeks for me here,” said the American defeat, before melt in tears. Iga, on the other hand, was devastating and dominant: Wimbledon was missing (this is his first career success on the grass), and winning him in this way he projects it into Olympus well beyond the fourth place of the world ranking he now occupies, far beyond the number 100 victory in a Grand Slam tournament. “I thought I was a player of experience, but I did not expect this – said Swiatek -. My team believed in me more than I did, I would not be here without their trust and their support. Wimbledon is a tournament so unique that playing on the plant I felt responsibility, added pressure. This year I found the game, I felt at ease, I enjoyed the sound of the bottles of Champagne. Between one service and another I will always carry it with me “. In the Open era, the only other female ending ended 6-0 6-0 is that of Paris 1988 between Steffi Graff and the Soviet Natasha Zvereva. Swiatek added his wonder.

The game

Swiatek is so dominant and anisymova so disoriented that the first set flies in just 25 ‘, enough for the 6-0 of the Polish with the opponent who gives her 14 unformed errors and 3 double fouls. The script does not change in the second set, the best moment of Anisimova is the fourth game, when it brings Swiatek to the advantages to keep the service. The Polish comes out of the most difficult moment of his anger match, and continues with the automatic pilot until that last point that Wimbledon delivers them with a ride that will remain in history.
