Iga Swiatek Makes History With Double-Bagel Win to Capture Maiden Wimbledon Title

Iga Swiatek from Poland won her first Wimbledon title on July 12, 2025, beating Amanda Anisimova of the United States in just 57 minutes. The final score was 6-0, 6-0, making it one of the most one-sided women’s finals in tennis history. This match was important because it added another major title to Swiatek’s record and made history with a rare “double bagel” win.

Swiatek’s Stunning Victory

Iga Swiatek, 24, dominated the match on Centre Court at the All England Club, giving Amanda Anisimova no chance to settle. Swiatek won 55 of the 79 points and hit only 10 winners, letting Anisimova defeat herself with 28 unforced errors. This was only the third time in Grand Slam history that a women’s final ended in 6-0, 6-0, and the first time since 1988.

This win gave Swiatek her sixth Grand Slam title, and her first-ever win on grass, making her the only active female player to win major titles on clay, hard, and grass courts. It also marked her 100th match win at a Grand Slam tournament, which she achieved in just 120 matches, faster than most in history.

Anisimova’s Tough Day

Amanda Anisimova, 23, was playing in her first Grand Slam final and had a strong tournament, even beating world number one Aryna Sabalenka in the semifinals. But in the final, she couldn’t keep up with Swiatek’s pace and made many mistakes. After the match, she was seen crying on the bench while Swiatek celebrated with her team.

Anisimova had taken a break from tennis due to mental health reasons two years ago and returned with great determination. Just last year, she didn’t even qualify for Wimbledon. Now, despite the loss, she will enter the WTA Top 10 rankings for the first time in her career.

Swiatek’s Journey and Comeback

Swiatek had not won a title since June 2024 at the French Open, and her form had dipped. She was even seeded No. 8 at Wimbledon due to a year-long title drought. She also faced a setback in 2024 due to a one-month doping ban, which was later cleared as accidental exposure to a medical substance. Despite these challenges, she made a strong comeback by trusting her training and coach’s strategies for grass courts.

She said after the match, “I didn’t even dream of this. My team believed in me more than I did.” The Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, was also present in the Royal Box and took part in the prize ceremony.
