Iga Swiatek won her first Wimbledon title on Saturday by defeating American Amanda Anisimova 6-0, 6-0 in a dominant display. The 24-year-old Polish player became the eighth consecutive first-time women’s champion at Wimbledon and earned her sixth major championship.
Swiatek, who was largely struggling at Wimbledon throughout her career, broke Anisimova in the first game of the match and won the title in just 57 minutes. She also became the fastest woman to reach 100 major match wins since Serena Williams.
The victory marked a breakthrough tournament for Anisimova, who reached her first major final after losing in qualifying at Wimbledon last year. Swiatek’s win was a surprise even to herself, and she said it was because she didn’t have any pressure to win, allowing her to focus on improving as a player.
Swiatek’s career has been marked by struggles on grass, but she spent five days training in Mallorca before the tournament and reached her first grass final at Bad Homburg. She also recently fired her coach and started working with Wim Fissette after failing an out-of-competition drug test last year.
With this win, Swiatek improved to 6-0 in major finals and became the fastest woman to reach 100 major match wins since Serena Williams. The victory marked a significant milestone for Swiatek, who will break into the top 10 in the rankings for the first time after Anisimova’s loss.
