Poland’s Iga Świątek won her first Grand Slam singles title at Wimbledon, defeating American Amanda Anisimova in the women’s final on Saturday. The match was over in under an hour, with Świątek taking a crushing 6-0, 6-0 win.
Świątek, 24, dominated from the start, and her opponent was unable to recover. The Polish player’s victory marks Poland’s first single’s champion at Wimbledon.
Kate Middleton, Princess of Wales, handed Świątek the trophy after the match. In a post-match interview, Świątek praised Anisimova for an “amazing two weeks” despite losing. She expressed her hope to face Anisimova again in future finals.
Anisimova’s appearance in the final marked a significant comeback for the 23-year-old American, who had taken a break from tennis due to burnout and mental health struggles. The win caps off an impressive return to professional tennis for Anisimova, who returned to competition after several months away.
