• Women’s champion crowned: Polish star Iga Świątek dominated her Wimbledon singles final against American Amanda Anisimova. The more experienced Świątek did not lose a single game en route to a straight sets victory over a rattled Anisimova, who struggled in her first grand slam final.
• Historic performance: Świątek is the first Polish Wimbledon singles champion — men’s or women’s — in the Open Era. It’s also the first time in that era that a women’s player has won the title without giving up a game.
• Emotional remarks: A jubilant Świątek, who had struggled on grass courts prior to this tournament, said after the match that she could hardly process the victory. Anisimova, who has been open about mental health struggles and took a break from the sport in 2023, lauded her opponent and thanked her support system in tearful on-court remarks.
After two weeks of exceptional tennis from both Iga Świątek and Amanda Anisimova, today’s women’s singles final was over before it even really began.
It took just 57 minutes for Świątek to dispatch her American opponent. The world No. 4 did not drop a single game on her way to lifting the Venus Rosewater Dish.
