Iga Swiatek destroys Amanda Anisimova 6-0, 6-0 to win first Wimbledon title
LONDON: Iga Swiatek demolished Amanda Anisimova 6-0, 6-0 in the most one-sided women’s Wimbledon final for 114 years to win her sixth Grand Slam title. The Polish eighth seed was in charge from the first point and wrapped up victory in just 57 minutes in a brutal display of precision hitting on Center Court. It is the first time a woman has won a final at Wimbledon without dropping a game since 1911, when Britain’s Dorothea Lambert Chambers triumphed by the same scoreline. And Swiatek, 24, is just the second player in the Open era to win a major without losing a game in the final since Steffi Graf humbled Natalia Zvereva at the 1988 French Open. “It seems super surreal,” said Swiatek, who is the first Wimbledon singles champion from Poland and has now won majors on all surfaces. “I didn’t even dream, for me it was way too far. I feel like I am already an experienced player after winning the Slams before but I never expected this one. “This year I really, really enjoyed it and feel I improved my form here. “I am always going to remember the opening of champagne bottles between serves.
