Iga Świątek Makes History with Ruthless Wimbledon Domination
It’s hard to find words that fully capture what Iga Świątek just did on Centre Court — but “historic” might come close. Iga didn’t just win the Wimbledon final against Amanda Anisimova — she obliterated her. A staggering 6-0, 6-0 victory in under an hour sealed Świątek’s sixth Grand Slam title and her first ever on the grass courts of the All England Club. This wasn’t just a win — it was a statement.
Coming into Wimbledon 2025, not many gave Świątek a serious shot. After all, she had lost her world No. 1 ranking, struggled with form, and exited early at the French Open — the very tournament where she usually thrives. Her season had been rocky, to say the least. A doping scandal last year saw her temporarily suspended due to a contaminated batch of melatonin, which only added to the noise surrounding her. But instead of letting it define her, Świątek quietly reset. She trained in Spain, tuned up in Germany, and showed up in London with a quiet fire that no one seemed to notice — until now.

Against Amanda Anisimova, a 23-year-old American playing in her first Grand Slam final, Świątek was flawless. From the very first point, it was clear this wasn’t going to be a competitive match. Anisimova, who had just pulled off a stunning win over Aryna Sabalenka in the semi-final, couldn’t find her footing. Her nerves got the better of her, while Świątek moved like a veteran who had already won Wimbledon five times over. It was the first “double bagel” — two sets won 6-0 — in a Wimbledon final since 1911. That’s 114 years.
Anisimova left the court in tears. Świątek, meanwhile, stood with the Venus Rosewater Dish in hand, almost in disbelief. She told reporters later, “I’m just proud of myself because, yeah, who would have expected that?” Even she seemed stunned by her own dominance. Her serve was sharp, her footwork electric, her mindset untouchable. This was tennis poetry, written in real-time.
After the match, Świątek had a few words of encouragement for her opponent: “No matter what happened today, you should be proud.” It was a touch of grace from a champion who knows what it feels like to be doubted, dismissed, and misunderstood. And in the post-match celebration, in a scene straight out of a TV episode, Świątek even got a hug from Courteney Cox — yes, Monica from Friends — a full-circle moment for a lifelong fan of the show.
This wasn’t just a win. This was a comeback, a redemption arc, a career-defining performance all wrapped in one. Świątek’s triumph wasn’t just about Wimbledon. It was about resilience, silencing critics, and proving that even when the world counts you out — champions rise.
