IgA Swiatek of eighth sown of Poland overwhelmed the NO 13 Anisimova 6-0, 6-0 to win its first Wimbledon championship on Saturday in London.
It is the sixth title of Grand Slam Singles for Swiatek, 24, and his first victory in the tournament from Roland Garros in 2024. He has never lost a Grand Slam final.
The unequal result of 57 minutes was the first “double bang” in an important final since Steffi Graff enrupted Natasha Zvereva 6-0, 6-0 to win the 1988 France Open. It was the first female final 6-0, 6-0 in Wimbledon since 1911.
“It seems super surreal,” Swiatek said in his interview on the court. “First, I want to congratulate Amanda for two incredible weeks. You should be proud of the work you are doing, and I hope we play more finals here.”
Anisimova, 23, appeared in his first important final. She committed five double failures and ended with only eight winners and 28 uninforced errors.
Swiatek never faced a rest point to become the first Wimbledon Singles champion of Poland. He converted six of the nine rest opportunities and ended with 10 winners and 11 non -forced errors.
With the victory of Swiatek on the courts of the All England Club, the old number 1 of the world has won Grand Slam titles on the three surfaces: Four French opens in clay (2020, 2022-24) and the hard roof of the US Open in 2022.
“I didn’t even dream, for me I was too far. I feel that I am already an experienced player after winning the Slams before, but I never waited for this,” Swatek said. “This year I really enjoyed it and I feel that I improved my form here. It’s amazing and I’m going to enjoy this moment.”
In spite of the disappointing final, the performance of Anisimova in London, including a victory over the number 1 of the world Aryna Sabalenka in the semifinals, will enter the top 10 for the first time on Monday.
“Congratulations IGA. Thanks to all those who have supported me,” said Anisimova in the presentation of the trophy.
“It has been an incredible fortnight to me and, although today I ran out of gas and wish I had a better performance for you today, you still lifted me, so thank you very much.”
It was the 100th Victory in the Grand Slam race for Swiatek, who improved 100-20 since he made his debut in the main raffle in 2019.
She is the eighth consecutive female champion for the first time in Wimbledon since Serena Williams won her seventh title in 2016.
