Iga Swiatek delivered a flawless performance on Saturday, July 12, defeating Amanda Anisimova 6-0, 6-0 in the 2025 Wimbledon women’s singles final. The straight-sets demolition on Centre Court earned the Polish star her first Wimbledon crown and sixth Grand Slam title overall, firmly etching her name into tennis history.
Swiatek’s grass-court dominance was on full display as she dismantled the American’s powerful game with clinical precision. At just 24, the World No. 8 showcased a masterclass in control and composure, proving she has mastered all three surfaces.
A string of milestones
Swiatek’s triumph was historic on multiple fronts. She became the first Polish player in the Open Era to win a Wimbledon singles title, a groundbreaking achievement for her country. As the No. 8 seed, she joined an elite group of women—Ashleigh Barty at the 2019 French Open and Petra Kvitova at Wimbledon in 2011—who have won Grand Slams from that seeding. In doing so, she also matched the legendary feats of Margaret Court and Monica Seles, becoming only the third player in the Open Era to win all of her first six Grand Slam finals.
Her Wimbledon victory added her name to another exclusive list: she became the eighth first-time champion at SW19 in as many years, highlighting a new era of variety and unpredictability in women’s tennis. Swiatek also cemented her legacy as the youngest woman since Serena Williams in 2002 to win Grand Slam titles on all three surfaces—clay, hard, and grass. To cap it off, she notched her 100th Grand Slam match win in just her 120th match, the fastest to reach that milestone since Serena in 2004, who achieved it in 116 matches.
