Iga Swiatek captured her first Wimbledon title with a 6–0, 6–0 demolition of American Amanda Anisimova in just 57 minutes, becoming the first Polish player to win the singles crown at the All England Club in the Open Era. The "double bagel" is the first in a Wimbledon women’s final since 1911 and the first in any Grand Slam final since 1988. The 24-year-old, seeded No. 8 but ranked world No. 1, dropped only 24 points, needed 10 winners and never faced a break point. Saturday’s win lifts her career record in major finals to 6-0 and completes the surface trifecta after four French Opens and the 2022 U.S. Open, making her the youngest player since Serena Williams in 2002 to claim majors on clay, hard and grass. Anisimova, 23, reached her maiden Grand Slam final after upsetting top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka in the semifinals but struggled under the spotlight, producing 28 unforced errors and winning just 36 % of her service points. The run nevertheless secures the New Jersey-born player a first appearance inside the WTA top 10. Swiatek pockets about £3 million in prize money and notches her 100th match victory at the majors, the fastest milestone since Williams in 2004. She joins Margaret Court and Monica Seles as the only players to win their first six Grand Slam finals, further underscoring a dominance that now extends to grass.
