Iga Swiatek crushes Anisimova 6-0, 6-0 to claim historic Wimbledon Title

Iga Swiatek delivered a commanding 6-0, 6-0 victory over Amanda Anisimova in the most one-sided womens Wimbledon final in 114 years, securing her sixth Grand Slam title. The Polish eighth seed dominated from the outset, wrapping up the match in just 57 minutes with a ruthless display of precision on Centre Court.This marks the first time a woman has won a Wimbledon final without dropping a game since Dorothea Lambert Chambers in 1911.Swiatek, 24, joins Steffi Graf as only the second player in the Open Era to win a major final without losing a game, a feat Graf achieved against Natalia Zvereva at the 1988 French Open.  It feels surreal, said Swiatek, Polands first Wimbledon singles champion and a winner on all surfaces.I never dreamed this was possible. I feel like an experienced player after my previous Slams, but I didnt expect this one. I really enjoyed this year and feel Ive improved my grass-court game.Swiatek, who lost just one set throughout the tournament, claimed her first grass-court title two weeks after reaching the Bad Homburg final.Despite Anisimovas strong run, including a semi-final upset over world number one Aryna Sabalenka, the American was overwhelmed. Anisimova struggled in the hot conditions on Centre Court, with Catherine, Princess of Wales, watching from the Royal Box.Broken in the first game, she quickly fell 2-0 behind. Swiateks relentless pressure forced a double-fault from Anisimova at 3-0, and the Pole sealed the first set in just 25 minutes, with Anisimova winning only six points on serve and committing 14 unforced errors. The second set followed a similar pattern.Anisimova, unable to find her rhythm, double-faulted again in the third game, and Swiatek closed out the match with ease. Anisimova finished with 28 unforced errors across the 12 games. Swiatek, now with 100 career Grand Slam match wins, becomes Wimbledons eighth consecutive first-time womens champion since Serena Williams last title in 2016.She remains undefeated in major finals, with four French Open titles and a 2022 US Open crown. Her previous Wimbledon best was a 2023 quarter-final run. A tearful Anisimova, who exited qualifying last year, briefly left the court before returning for the trophy presentation. Iga is an incredible player, she said. I didnt have enough today, but Ill keep working and believing in myself. I hope to be back here one day. The post IgaSwiatek crushes Anisimova 6-0, 6-0 to claim historic Wimbledon Title appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
