London: Polish tennis star Iga Swiatek delivered a masterclass performance to claim her first Wimbledon title with an emphatic 6-0, 6-0 victory over American Amanda Anisimova.
The one-sided encounter, which lasted just 57 minutes, marked the first double bagel in a Wimbledon women’s final since 1911, making it one of the most dominant Grand Slam final performances of the Open Era.
For Swiatek, already a four-time French Open champion and US Open winner, this victory at the All England Club represents a significant career milestone, her first title on grass and her sixth Grand Slam overall. The 23-year-old entered Centre Court with confidence and left no room for doubt, overwhelming Anisimova in every department of the game.
She secured a remarkable 55-24 lead in total points and notched up 10 winners. Anisimova, on the other hand, struggled to find rhythm and was plagued by 28 unforced errors, effectively handing the match to the reigning World No.1.

“This title always felt so far away. I never dreamed of winning here, even though I’ve had Grand Slam success before. I just want to thank my team and my coach. We’ve had our share of ups and downs, but today proves that everything we’ve worked on is coming together,” Swiatek said during the trophy presentation.
Swiatek’s dominant victory also saw her achieve a rare statistical feat—a ‘double bagel’, a term in tennis that refers to a 6-0, 6-0 scoreline. The last time a Wimbledon final ended in such a score was over a century ago, when Dorothea Lambert Chambers defeated Dora Boothby in 1911. Swiatek’s result is the first instance of a double bagel in a Wimbledon women’s final during the Open Era.
With the win, Swiatek became the first Polish player, man or woman, to win a Wimbledon singles title. In addition to the silverware, Swiatek walked away with a record Wimbledon prize purse of £3,000,000 (approximately ₹34 Crore), reflecting an 11 percent increase from the 2024 edition. Anisimova earned £1,520,000 (around ₹17 Crore), an 8 percent rise from the previous year.
