Iga Swiatek stormed her way into the history books on Saturday with a ruthless, almost surreal, demolition of Amanda Anisimova in the 2025 Wimbledon women’s singles final. 

In just 57 minutes, Swiatek delivered a flawless 6-0, 6-0 victory — the first “double bagel” in a Wimbledon women’s final in over a century. The last time such a feat was recorded was back in 1911, making Swiatek’s performance one of the most dominant in the tournament’s 147-year history.

The Polish former world No. 1, already a four-time French Open winner and US Open champion, had never previously gone beyond the quarterfinals at the All England Club. But any questions about her grass-court credentials were obliterated on Centre Court, as she dictated every point with precision, poise, and frightening efficiency. 

Known for her clay-court dominance, Swiatek proved she’s far more than a surface specialist. With this win, she not only collected her sixth Grand Slam title but also completed her personal conquest of tennis’s most iconic stage.

Swiatek appeared calm and calculated throughout, ripping winners off both wings and barely giving Anisimova a moment to breathe. She won 85% of her first-serve points, broke her opponent six times, and committed just five unforced errors. Her footwork was razor-sharp, her shot selection impeccable, and her confidence unshakable. 

When the final point landed wide off Anisimova’s racket, Swiatek dropped her racket and looked to the sky in disbelief, as if even she couldn’t quite grasp the magnitude of what had just happened.

For Anisimova, it was a heartbreaking and humbling experience. 

The 23-year-old American was playing in her first Grand Slam final and simply could not find any rhythm against the relentless former world No. 1. Nerves and fatigue visibly weighed her down, and her 28 unforced errors underscored the pressure of the moment. 

To her credit, Anisimova faced the post-match press with maturity, admitting she “ran out of gas” but expressing pride in reaching the final and determination to return stronger.

Swiatek’s latest triumph places her among tennis’s all-time greats. She is now the youngest woman since Serena Williams in 2002 to win Grand Slam titles on three different surfaces. Remarkably, she’s still only 24 years old and continues to evolve with every tournament. With this Wimbledon title, she becomes the first Polish woman to ever lift the Venus Rosewater Dish, a milestone that will forever elevate her legacy back home.

Perhaps most impressive is her perfect record in Grand Slam finals — six wins in six appearances. That kind of composure under pressure is rare, even among the legends. Swiatek has now notched her 100th career win in Grand Slam matches, a feat matched by only a handful of elite players in the modern era.

As Swiatek held the Wimbledon trophy aloft on Centre Court, she wasn’t just celebrating a victory — she was announcing her arrival as the undisputed queen of the sport. The grass, once considered her weakest surface, is now another conquered territory in her growing empire. With only the Australian Open left to complete the career Grand Slam, it feels like only a matter of time before she does it.

In a sport built on rivalries and drama, Swiatek’s dominance is beginning to resemble the golden eras of Serena and Federer. Her Wimbledon masterpiece wasn’t just a win — it was a warning to the rest of the field: Iga Swiatek isn’t just here to compete. She’s here to rule.
