LONDON: Poland’s Iga Swiatek has emphatically claimed the Wimbledon Women’s Singles title, delivering a stunning performance against American Amanda Anisimova in the final. Swiatek secured her victory with an unprecedented 6-0, 6-0 score line, marking a truly historic moment in the tournament’s long history.
In the eagerly anticipated Wimbledon Women’s Singles final, Iga Swiątek of Poland showcased her formidable talent from the outset. The Polish eighth seed, who has now won all six major finals in which she has competed, was in charge from the very first point, wrapping up victory in just 57 minutes with a dominant 6-0, 6-0 score.
This remarkable straight-sets triumph, where Anisimova failed to win a single game throughout the entire match, is the first occurrence in a Wimbledon Women’s Singles final since 1911. That previous instance in the amateur era saw British player Lambert defeat her compatriot Dora Boothby by the same margin. The 24-year-old Świątek is Wimbledon’s eighth consecutive first-time women’s champion since Serena Williams won her seventh and final title at the All England Club in 2016.
This Wimbledon triumph marks Iga Swiatek’s sixth Grand Slam title of her illustrious career. Prior to this victory, the Polish star has enjoyed immense success on the clay courts of Roland Garros, securing four French Open titles. She also has a US Open title to her name, further cementing her status as one of the dominant forces in women’s tennis. Świątek, who reached the final of the grass-court tournament at Bad Homburg two weeks ago, has looked increasingly strong while the top seeds tumbled at the All England Club.
