Swiatek Outclassed Anisimova to Win First Wimbledon, Sixth Grand Slam Title
Poland’s Iga Swiatek produced a masterclass in dominance and composure on Saturday as she demolished Amanda Anisimova 6-0, 6-0 to win her first Wimbledon title and sixth Grand Slam crown, emphatically silencing any doubts about her prowess on grass.
The 24-year-old eighth seed needed just 57 minutes on Centre Court to claim the Venus Rosewater Dish, completing a flawless tournament run in which she dropped only one set. In doing so, Swiatek became the eighth consecutive first-time women’s Wimbledon champion since Serena Williams last lifted the trophy in 2016.
Swiatek’s ruthlessness was on full display from the first point, breaking the American’s serve immediately and never looking back. The Polish star, who reached the final in Bad Homburg just two weeks ago, carried her momentum into London, showing the kind of form that has seen her win all six major finals she has contested.
Thirteenth seed Anisimova, who stunned world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka in the semi-finals, was expected to pose a formidable challenge. But under the scorching sun and the pressure of the final, the 23-year-old American crumbled. She was broken five times and won only six points on her serve in the first set, riddled with 14 unforced errors.
Swiatek, unyielding in her pursuit of grass-court glory, showed no mercy in the second set. A double fault from Anisimova in the third game handed Swiatek yet another break, and the Pole maintained her relentless tempo, never allowing her opponent a chance to settle.
The crowd on Centre Court rallied behind the struggling American, offering sympathetic applause, but the outcome was never in doubt. Swiatek remained focused to the final point, sealing the win with clinical precision before warmly consoling a distraught Anisimova at the net.
“This is a dream come true,” Swiatek said in her post-match interview. “I’ve worked so hard to feel comfortable on grass, and to win Wimbledon in this way is beyond anything I imagined.”
With this landmark victory, Swiatek adds Wimbledon to her collection of four French Open titles and one US Open, further cementing her status as one of the most dominant forces in women’s tennis. The triumph also underscores her adaptability, proving she can conquer all surfaces.
For Anisimova, it was a bitter end to a remarkable fortnight, but her run to the final — including the defeat of the world’s top-ranked player — signals a resurgence in form after years of injury setbacks.
But Saturday belonged entirely to Iga Swiatek: a champion with clay-court roots, now crowned on the lawns of SW19.
