Iga Swiatek Claims First Wimbledon Title in Staggering Double-Bagel Victory

THE ALL ENGLAND CLUB, LONDON — Polish tennis sensation Iga Świątek made history yesterday, Saturday, July 12, by securing her first-ever Wimbledon title with a dominant 6-0, 6-0 victory over American Amanda Anisimova in the women’s final. The one-sided match, lasting just 57 minutes, marked only the second ‘double bagel’ in a Grand Slam final during the Open Era, a feat not seen since Steffi Graf’s 1988 French Open triumph.

The No. 8 seed Świątek showcased tactical brilliance and relentless play against the No. 13 seed Anisimova, whose performance was visibly affected by nerves in her maiden Grand Slam final appearance. This historic win elevates Świątek’s Grand Slam tally to six, making her the only active WTA Tour player to hold major titles on all three surfaces.

Following her overwhelming victory, Świątek expressed her disbelief and gratitude. “I didn’t even dream of this because it seemed so far away,” she stated on court, thanking her team for their unwavering belief. A tearful Anisimova acknowledged her struggle, saying, “I wish I could have put on a better performance for you today, but you guys have still been there for me and lifted me up, so thank you so much.” Despite the tough loss, Anisimova, at just 23, reached her first major final, overcoming world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka en route.
