Iga Swiatek won the prestigious tennis tournament from Wimbledon for the first time.
Iga Swiadek accepted the Venus Rosewater Dish with a wide grin from Duchess Kate, Amanda Anisimova ran in tears after a historical humiliation: With a demonstration of power for the history books, the Polish has conquered the throne of Wimbledon and made its sixth Grand Slam title perfectly.
The exceptional athlete humiliated the American Anisimova on Saturday in one of the most one-sided endgames of tennis history in All England Club 6-0, 6-0 and celebrated her first tournament since the French Open 2024-at Grand Slam level it was 100 victory.
“It feels very surreal. I want to congratulate Amanda for a great two weeks,” said Swiatek.

In her wildest dreams, she couldn’t have imagined that, said Swiatek, who thanked her trainer: “After the up and down lately we have shown that it can work.”
Anisimova “has a bit of the fuel”
Anisimova congratulated the Polish. “You are an inspiration for me. Congratulations to you,” she said, adding after the bitter defeat: “I went out a bit today. I hoped to be able to play better.” However, she will “never forget” the experiences. She thanked her mother emotionally, who was specially flown in. “I didn’t lose because of you,” said Anisimova with a laugh.
37 years after Steffi Graf’s “Double Bagel” against Natasha Zvereva at the French Open, Swiatek only managed the second 6: 0, 6: 0 in the final of a Grand Slam tournament in the Open ERA. The match was over after 57 minutes.
Swiatek (24) can look forward to three million pounds of prize money and the Venus Rosewater Dish. After four titles in Roland Garros (sand) and her US Open Triumph 2022 (hard court), Swiatek has now won a major title on all three coverings-on lawn it is her first winning gains.
Anisimova (23), who had eliminated the world ranking of Aryna Sabalenka in the semi-finals, missed her first Grand Slam success. On Monday it will be one of the top ten in the WTA world rankings for the first time. She stays with £ 1.52 million.
Despite the humiliation, the tournament for Anisimova remains a success. Two years ago, the daughter of Russian emigrants took a break due to mental problems, also to escape the pressure of the tennis circus. Now she is back in the top of the world.
SWIATEK has been part of it for a long time, she ended a difficult phase in her career. She had not won a title for 13 months, and she was sitting in a one -month doping lock between September and October 2024. In the two weeks of Wimbledon, however, she showed her absolute top level again, even in the semifinals she was 6: 2, 6-0 over the Swiss Belinda Bencic.
Tennis: one-sided match in the Wimbledon final
On the day before the highly awaited men’s final between Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz, a one-sided game developed under the direction of the German referee Miriam Bley from Würzburg. Anisimova did not seem to cope with the pressure of the very big stage and produced many simple mistakes. Swiatek was merciless – and secured after only 25 minutes sentence one.
Nothing changed in the second round either, Anisimova wiped out of sight at 0: 2 tears. Swiatek continued undeterred and stormed to victory after around an hour.
The shortest Wimbledon final for women was far from: Suzanne Lenglen from France is still holding this record, which was swept away in just 23 minutes over the American Molla Mallory (6: 2, 6: 0).
