Tennis: Iga Swiatek Wins Wimbledon in Style

Iga Swiatek has finally conquered Wimbledon – and she did it in stunning fashion. The Polish star won her first title on grass by beating Amanda Anisimova 6-0, 6-0 in the final, becoming the first woman to win a Wimbledon final without dropping a game since 1911.

Swiatek had already won Grand Slam titles on clay and hard courts, but grass had always been a challenge. Not anymore. This summer at the All England Club, she proved she could be just as strong on the lawns of Wimbledon.

A Perfect Run to the Title

Swiatek didn’t just win – she dominated. Over the two weeks, she lost just 35 games in total, including only two in the semi-finals and final combined. She was focused, calm, and played with the kind of control that left her opponents struggling to keep up.

“This feels surreal,” she said. “I kept surprising myself. From the first day on grass, we worked really hard, but we didn’t expect this. I’m just really happy.”

This victory gave Swiatek her sixth Grand Slam title, her first at Wimbledon, and made her the first Polish player – man or woman – to win a singles title at Wimbledon in the Open Era.

A Tough Day for Anisimova

Amanda Anisimova had reached her first Grand Slam final after beating world number one Aryna Sabalenka in the semi-finals. But nerves seemed to take over on the big day. She made 28 unforced errors and struggled with her serve, winning just 26% of her first serve points.

After the match, the American admitted she felt “frozen” with nerves. Still, she said she would come back stronger.

“This isn’t how I wanted my first final to go,” she said. “But I’ll use this to motivate me. I’ve learned a lot, and I’ll keep working towards my goals.”

Swiatek’s Place in History

Swiatek now joins Steffi Graf as the only woman in the Open Era to win a Grand Slam final 6-0, 6-0. Graf did it at the French Open in 1988. Swiatek also becomes one of the few players to win Grand Slam titles on all three surfaces – clay, hard, and grass.

Her victory proves once again that she’s not just the queen of clay. Now, she’s a true all-court champion.

What’s Next?

Swiatek says she hasn’t planned her celebration yet, joking that her team had already been partying while she was doing media interviews. But one thing is certain – this win will be one she remembers for a long time.

“It’s not about relief,” she said. “It’s about good tennis and doing my job. I’m proud of what we’ve done.”
