Wimbledon 2025: Iga Swiatek thrashes shell-shocked Amanda Anisimova without losing a game in remarkable Championships final - 'I was a bit frozen'

React to this story

The women's singles Wimbledon final proved a one-sided affair as Iga Swiatek breezed to victory against an overawed Amanda Anisimova. Swiatek was dominant from the off, while nerves appeared to get the better of Anisimova, playing in her first Grand Slam final. The latter had impressively beaten world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka to reach the final, but it was Swiatek's day on Centre Court.

Iga Swiatek cruised to victory and a first Wimbledon title in a dominant final display against Amanda Anisimova.

The four-time French Open champion took under an hour to win and did not drop a single game in a remarkably one-sided match on Centre Court.

"From my side, I think I was a bit frozen there with my nerves," Anisimova said in her post-match press conference. "Maybe the last two weeks I got a bit tired or something.

"But she definitely made it difficult for me. She's an unbelievable player, as I've said many times. She deserves this win."

It was the perfect start for Swiatek, who began aggressively against a nervous Anisimova and immediately broke the latter's serve.

Swiatek held to extend her lead and then got the double break as Anisimova shook her head, disappointed by a disastrous start on such a big occasion.

It did not get any better in the first set for the 23-year-old, who could make no impact on Swiatek's serve and was broken again.

Another comfortable hold and Swiatek had wrapped up the set in just 25 minutes, with Anisimova in danger of crumbling under the pressure in her first Grand Slam final.

There was no let-up in the second set. Anisimova would have hoped to gather herself after the break, but she was again broken in the first game and looked increasingly demoralised.

Swiatek showed no mercy, attacking relentlessly and serving with real consistency.

With each game, Anisimova's resistance became weaker and as the second set progressed, it looked inevitable that it would be a historic result: only once before had there been a double bagel in a Grand Slam singles final in the Open Era - the 1988 French Open final when Steffi Graf crushed Natasha Zvereva.

Swiatek broke again, held again, then broke again, and at 5-0, Anisimova looked desperate to get off the court, a shadow of the player who had performed so well to beat world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka just two days prior.

With the match effectively wrapped up, Swiatek served out her final game and celebrated an impressive victory, while Anisimova was left to reflect on a bittersweet tournament.

"Thank you, Iga. You're such an incredible player and it obviously showed today," Anisimova said.

"You've been such an inspiration to me. You've had such an incredible two weeks here. Getting to your first Wimbledon final here and winning is so special. Well done to you and your team.

"I know I didn't have enough today but I'll keep putting in the work. I keep believing in myself and I hope to be back here one day. Thank you, everyone."
