6-0, 6-0. The score is final and extremely rare in the Grand Slam final. This Saturday, Iga Swiatek inflicted it on the poor Amanda Anisimovaof which it was the first Grand Chelem final at 23. The world’s fourth player won in 57 minutes against the twelfth in the WTA ranking. She has won her first title since her fourth coronation at Roland-Garros in June 2024. No player had won Wimbledon over a double 6-0 from the British Dorothea Douglass Chambers In 1911.
First Polish of the Open era (inaugurated in 1968) to win Wimbledon, men and women combined, the ex-world world is guaranteed to date back to the WTA ranking at the start of next week. On the central and under the eyes of the Princess of Wales Katethe new Wimbledon queen faced Anisimova for the first time for the first time in an official match.
Swiatek succeeds the tournament list at La Czech Barbora Krejcikova And is the only active player to have played Grand Slam finals on hard, on clay and grass, a surface on which she had never lifted a trophy before Saturday. Before triumphing at Wimbledon, the native of Warsaw won Roland-Garros in 2020, 2022, 2023 and 2024, and the US Open in 2022.
The only big home that is missing from his record is now the Australian Open. Anisimova, for its part, made its best Grand Slam route at 23 years old, eliminating in particular the world N.1 Aryna Sabalenka In the semi-finals six years after reaching the last square of Roland-Garros.
