Iga Swiatek left no room for mercy in the most lopsided Wimbledon women’s final in over a century, defeating Amanda Anisimova 6-0, 6-0 in just under an hour. From the first point of Anisimova’s final service game, Swiatek’s relentless intensity was clear. A fierce rally ended with Anisimova’s backhand crashing into the net, prompting Swiatek to punch the air. Break points followed swiftly, and a signature passing shot sealed the victory. Anisimova, overwhelmed, wiped away tears while Swiatek calmly sipped water, her focus unshaken.
“Do you really want to win Wimbledon? If you do, you’re not giving any point away,” Swiatek told Mail Sport post-match. Aware of grass-court volatility, she refused to ease up: “I’ve seen leads slip—even at 5-0, you can’t get tight. With Amanda’s skill, I had to take every chance.”

The win marked Swiatek’s sixth Grand Slam title and silenced doubts about her grass-court prowess. Despite being world No. 4 and an eight-time major winner, Wimbledon had eluded her. Known as the “Queen of Clay” for her four French Open titles, she’d never advanced past the quarterfinals here. “This is the tournament I never expected to win,” she admitted. The victory also ended a year-long title drought, a slump following her 125-week reign as world No. 1.
Swiatek’s journey hasn’t been without hurdles. Last year, a doping suspension—traced to contaminated supplements—and team changes tested her resilience. “People expect me to win always. I needed time to find my rhythm again,” she said.

Post-match, Swiatek shared a heartwarming moment with Friends star Courteney Cox, a surprise guest in her player’s box. The two bonded last year over their love of tennis. “She plays well!” Swiatek laughed. “I’m glad she didn’t warn me—I’d have gotten too nervous!”
For Anisimova, the loss was crushing. The 22-year-old, who upset Aryna Sabalenka en route to the final, left the court in tears before returning for a gracious interview. Swiatek acknowledged her opponent’s pain: “I wanted this win too badly to hold back, but I feel for her.”

With this victory, Swiatek cements her legacy as an all-surface champion. Her ruthless efficiency and mental fortitude prove she’s more than a clay specialist—she’s a force redefining modern tennis. As Anisimova rebuilds, Swiatek’s message is clear: On grass, clay, or any stage, she’s here to conquer.
