Iga Świątek delivered a historic performance at Wimbledon today, defeating American Amanda Anisimova 6-0, 6-0 in just 57 minutes to claim her first title at the All England Club.
With this victory, Świątek not only secured her sixth career Grand Slam but also completed a sweep of major titles across all three surfaces—hard, clay, and grass.
The scoreline marked the first time in the Open Era that a women’s singles final at Wimbledon ended in a double bagel. The last time such a feat occurred was in 1911.
Only Steffi Graf has previously recorded a 6-0, 6-0 Grand Slam final win in the modern era, doing so at the 1988 French Open.
Świątek’s dominant performance earned her roughly £3 million, which translates to about £52,631 per minute on court. Anisimova, despite the loss, received £1.52 million as runner-up.
The 24-year-old Polish is now 6-0 in major finals, putting her in rare company alongside legends like Margaret Court and Monica Seles, who also maintained perfect records through their first six Grand Slam finals.
She also became the first Polish woman to win the Wimbledon singles title, celebrating with her team and fans amid loud applause on Centre Court.
Anisimova, who had reached her first-ever Grand Slam final after a dramatic victory over world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka in the semifinals, was unable to replicate that form against Świątek’s relentless pressure.
She was emotional after the match, thanking her supporters and family while acknowledging the learning curve ahead.
Świątek, meanwhile, expressed gratitude to her coach and support staff and reflected on what she called “a surreal and unforgettable moment.”
