Amanda Anisimova was blown away by Iga Świątek in the most one-sided Wimbledon final in 114 years.

Poland’s Świątek beat her American opponent 6-0, 6-0 in only 57 minutes to win her sixth Grand Slam title and first at Wimbledon.

She is the first woman to win a Wimbledon final by that scoreline since Dorothea Lambert Chambers beat Dora Boothby in 1911.

Świątek also becomes only the second player in the Open Era to win without dropping a game after Steffi Graf beat Natasha Zvereva at the 1988 French Open.

Anisimova, the 13th seed, was appearing in her first Grand Slam final.

Iga Swiatek defeated Amanda Anisimova in the final of the 2025 Women’s Wimbledon. Every serve and rally demonstrated the complete superiority of the Polish tennis player. This match was one of the easiest for Swiatek in her career, reports the portal Novyny.LIVE.

Swiatek’s Confident Victory

Iga crushed Amanda Anisimova with a score of 6:0, 6:0, making her victory even more historic, as such a rout in a Grand Slam final had not been seen in over a hundred years.

Commentators praised Swiatek’s play as ‘flawless’ and ‘a complete domination of her opponent’s emotions.’ Anisimova, playing in her first final, couldn’t win a single game, indicating the phenomenal form and absolute concentration of the Polish tennis player on the court.

Iga won her first title on grass and her sixth Grand Slam victory, becoming the Wimbledon champion for the first Time in her life. In addition, she has four victories at Roland Garros, a win at the US Open, WTA 1000 titles, and a place in the Top 10 tennis players in the world.

In the interest of sports news, Nicola Olislagers became the main competitor to Ukrainian Yaroslav Maguchikh, Illia Zabarnyi is seeking new paths in his career, and two foreign presenters got into a loud quarrel. Oleksandr Usyk happily shared his choice for the best boxer of our time.

Polish tennis player Iga Swiatek dominated the 2025 Wimbledon final, crushing her opponent Amanda Anisimova with a score of 6:0, 6:0. This victory was historic for her as such a rout in a Grand Slam final had not been recorded in the last hundred years. Iga Swiatek secured her first title on grass courts, doing so quite confidently and impressively, without a single lost game. Now she can boast six victories in Grand Slam tournaments and a place in the Top 10 best tennis players in the world.

Iga Świątek is roughly one year removed from being the No. 1 women’s player in the world. She’s now a Wimbledon champion.

The No. 8 seed looked every bit like a top-ranked player in a dominant victory over No. 13 Amanda Anisimova in straight sets 6-0, 6-0 on Saturday.

The match took just over an hour to complete while Świątek did not lose a single set. This was the first Wimbledon women’s final in 114 years in which one player didn’t win a single game, according to the Associated Press.

Playing in her first Grand Slam final, Anisimova looked overwhelmed by the moment. Świątek broke her serve from the start and stole a 1-0 lead. A five-time Grand Slam winner, this was familiar territory for Świątek, even if it was her first Wimbledon final.

As if Świątek’s play wasn’t dominant enough on its own, Anisimova didn’t make matters easier for herself by committing several unforced errors. She had difficulty making first serves and couldn’t hit her backhand with precision.

If body language and facial expression tells the story, Anisimova looked exasperated at how quickly the match became out of reach for her. Losing the first set so decisively appeared to have exhausted her with no chance at recovery.

Whether it was rooting for an underdog or perhaps wanting a more competitive match, the crowd’s support for Anisimova became louder during the second set. That may have helped calm her down, but Świątek continued her relentless attack. Anisimova created too deep a hole to escape and could never gain a foothold to rally.

Świątek won her sixth Grand Slam tournament, adding a Wimbledon championship to four French Open titles and a U.S. Open trophy.

“I didn’t even dream, for me it was way too far,” Świątek said in her on-court interview. “I feel like I am already an experienced player after winning the Slams before but I never expected this one.”

“I know I didn’t have enough today, but I’ll keep putting in the work,” Anisimova said in her post-match interview. “I keep believing in myself and I hope to be back here one day.”

Though it may provide little solace in the immediate aftermath, Anisimova took a major step in advancing to her first Grand Slam final and defeating the No. 1 seeded Aryna Sabalenka to get there. However, she didn’t appear to have anything left for the final after that.

Anisimova will be No. 7 in the next WTA women’s rankings as of Monday, moving up from No. 12. Świątek will be No. 3.

Here is how the surprisingly swift Wimbledon women’s singles final played out:

Amanda Anisimova was in floods of tears as she paid tribute to her mother and apologised for such a one-sided match.

After interviewer Annabel Croft halted the conversation to give the runner-up time to compose herself, she told Swiatek: “You’re such an incredible player. It obviously showed today. You’ve been such an inspiration to me.

“An unbelievable athlete. You’ve had such an incredible two weeks here. Getting to the final of your first Wimbledon and winning the championship, it’s so special. Congratulations to you and your team.

“Thank you to everyone who supported me since my first round match here. It’s been such an incredible atmosphere. You guys have carried me through this entire championship.

“Even though I ran out of gas a bit today and I wish I could put on a better performance for all of you, you guys have still been there for me and lifted me up today. Thank you so much.

“My mom who flew in this morning, I definitely would not be standing here… My mom has put in more work than I have honestly.

“Guys I’m so sorry. A few more words… My mom is the most selfless person I know. She’s done everything to get me to this point in my life. Thank you for being here and breaking the superstition of flying in. It’s definitely not why I lost today.

“I’m so happy I get to share this moment and for you to witness this in person. I know you don’t get to see me live playing that much anymore because you do so much for my sister and I. You always have. I love you so much.”

“This is why I play tennis, to make the show, to make people clap, to make them enjoy,” she had said after winning the junior Wimbledon title that year, as quoted by the tournament website. “I feel like that’s my goal, to entertain. I think I learned that today. I didn’t know about it. That’s new for me.”

She turned that realisation into a reality, and how. A raw talent in 2017, she has risen to the world No.1 spot and won four French Open and one US Open title going into the 2025 season.

From being the wunderkid at the second biggest stadium at SW19 eight years ago, on Saturday, Swiatek punched her name into the annals of Wimbledon folklore by winning the Venus Rosewater Dish.

She had talked about putting on a show, and on Centre Court she put on a dominant display of hard-hitting tennis to run away with a 6-0, 6-0 win against Amanda Anisimova in the final.

The irony of Swiatek’s career has been that the surface where she first announced herself to the tennis world has been the one she has struggled on the most through her professional career. Before this season, her best run at Wimbledon was the quarter-final in 2023. And none of her 22 tour titles came on grass courts.

But this has been a season like no other the Pole has experienced.

She carried into the new year a struggle with form that started ever since she tested positive for a banned substance last August. She has wilted in the glare of accusation that suggested she received preferential treatment during the entire investigation phase of the doping scandal — she received only a one-month ban.

So much so that she did not win a single tournament since last year’s French Open. Even at this year’s Roland Garros, the three-time defending champion was shown the door in the semi-final. But in that early (by her lofty standards) loss, she found a silver lining. For a change, she had the luxury of time to prepare for grass.

“Honestly, I think it’s easier if you haven’t won Roland Garros, and also if you had more time to practice,” Swiatek said, as quoted by Tennis.com. “If I win Roland Garros and then I come (to Wimbledon)…(people) put super high expectations.”

The preparation cycle included her reaching the final of a grass event for the first time in her career, losing in the final to Jessica Pegula at the WTA 500 event in Bad Homburg in Germany.

Still, at Wimbledon, she was not quite the favourite going into the tournament. And even in her moment of triumph, she asserted that this remained a hurdle she never imagined clearing.

“I didn’t even dream (of winning Wimbledon) because for me it was just way too far,” she said at the trophy presentation ceremony. “I feel like I’m already an experienced player after winning Slams before, but I never really expected this one.”

What was also not expected was the way in which Swiatek would dominate the final. In a match that lasted only 57 minutes, she became the first Polish player to win a singles title at Wimbledon, and only the third player in Grand Slam history to win a women’s singles final 6-0, 6-0.

The win may have vanquished many of the doubts that she had about herself.

But this tournament also did a whole lot of good – regardless of the result and scoreline on Saturday — for Anisimova.

The 23-year-old American had taken a mental health break in 2023 and only returned to the tour last year. From being ranked in the top 25, her rank fell down to as low as 442, but she started to pick up the pieces when she returned from the break.

She got to the Wimbledon final on the back of a hard-fought win against top seed Aryna Sabalenka in the semi-final. Getting this far also ensures that she breaks into the top 10 for the first time in her career.

The day though belonged to Swiatek. The player who turned heads by announcing an unusual fondness for a dish of pasta and strawberries, slowly played her way through the draw. And then in the final of the most prestigious Grand Slam, she produced a near-flawless performance.

Swiatek is back.
