(No. 8) Iga Switek def. (No. 13) Amanda Anisimova def. 6-0, 6-0
Iga Swiatek delivered a commanding performance in the Wimbledon final, defeating Amanda Anisimova 6–0, 6–0 in just 57 minutes to win her first Wimbledon title and sixth Grand Slam overall. With the win, Swiatek became the first woman in the Open Era to record a double bagel in a Grand Slam final since Steffi Graf defeated Natasha Zvereva 6–0, 6–0 at the 1988 French Open. It marks only the second time in the Open Era that a women’s Grand Slam final has ended in a complete-game shutout.
The match was one-sided, with Swiatek dictating play from start to finish. She broke Anisimova in the very first game and never looked back, applying relentless pressure and maintaining her composure throughout. Swiatek’s strategy was to play with margin, stay in rallies, and wait for the errors to come—and they did. Anisimova, playing in her first major final, showed nerves early and never found her rhythm. She committed 28 unforced errors to Swiatek’s 11, hit just 45% of her first serves, and tallied five double faults.
Swiatek, by contrast, was clinical. She hit three aces, won 72% of her first-serve points, and converted 67% of her break-point opportunities. Her shot selection was smart and purposeful, particularly in how she attacked Anisimova’s strengths. Despite Anisimova’s backhand being her best shot, Swiatek targeted it throughout the match, pulling her wide on the ad side and exploiting the space on the deuce court. When Anisimova attempted to counter with her forehand, she often overhit, leading to more errors. In the opening set alone, Swiatek won 27 points to Anisimova’s 9, with the American committing 14 unforced errors.
Grass has historically been Swiatek’s least successful surface, with her previous best result at Wimbledon being a quarterfinal appearance. Her only other final on grass came at Bad Homburg just before Wimbledon, where she finished as runner-up. This title marks a major breakthrough for Swiatek at Wimbledon and cements her status as one of the most complete players in the game.
With this win, Swiatek becomes the only active WTA player to hold Grand Slam titles on all three surfaces, joining an elite group of eight women in the Open Era to achieve the feat. She improves her record in Grand Slam finals to a perfect 6–0, adding a Wimbledon trophy to her four French Open titles and one U.S. Open title. Among active WTA players, only Venus Williams, with seven majors, has more.
Despite the lopsided result, the tournament marks a significant milestone for Amanda Anisimova, who will rise from No. 12 to a career-high No. 7 in the WTA rankings. While the final exposed some areas for growth—especially under pressure—the 23-year-old’s overall run to the final proved that she is a top-tier contender on tour.
Swiatek, who will move up to No. 3 in the rankings, leaves London not only with the Wimbledon title but with a renewed sense of dominance across all surfaces.
