Two bicycle wheels, thank you, good evening. The Polish IGA Swiatek inflicted a historic Rouste (6-0, 6-0), unprecedented since 1911 in the Wimbledon final, in the American Amanda Anisimova to offer herself at 24 years her first title on the London lawn and her sixth coronation in Grand Slam. The world’s fourth player won in 57 minutes against the twelfth in the WTA ranking, which was playing in Wimbledon its first Grand Slam final at 23. She 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 former world-1 world is guaranteed to date back to the WTA ranking at the start of the next week.
Only the Australian Open is missing from Swiatek
On the central and under the eyes of the Princess of Wales Kate, the new Queen of Wimbledon faced Anisimova for the first time in the official match for the first time. Swiatek succeeds the tournament record at the Czech Barbora Krejcikova and is the only active player to have played Grand Chelem 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 Grand Chelem who is missing from his record is now the Australian Open. Anisimova for his part made its best Grand Chelem course at 23 years old, notably eliminating the world number 1 Aryna Sabalenka in the semi-finals six years after reaching the last square of Roland Garros.
