Title: “Once-in-a-Century Double Bagel: Swiatek’s Unbelievable Wimbledon Triumph”
1. A Final to Remember (for All the Right and Wrong Reasons)
On July 12, 2025, Poland’s Iga Swiatek delivered a spectacle like no other—defeating Amanda Anisimova 6–0, 6–0 in just 57 minutes on Wimbledon’s Centre Court. This marks the first double bagel in a Wimbledon final since 1911, and just the second in any Grand Slam final in the Open Era, following Steffi Graf at Roland Garros in 1988.
2. Swiatek’s Dominance: Power, Precision, Perfection
From the outset, Swiatek controlled the match. She won 55 of 79 total points, forcing a staggering 28 unforced errors from Anisimova. Not a single game slipped through—she “swept” the opponent off the court. That first 6–0 set was the first in a Wimbledon women’s final since 1983.
3. From Clay to Grass: A Complete Champion
This Wimbledon win is Swiatek’s first title on grass, joining her four French Open and one US Open victories—making her one of the few players to conquer all three surfaces. She now holds six major titles and remains undefeated in Grand Slam finals: 6–0. Only Margaret Court and Monica Seles share this record.
4. Anisimova’s Road to the Final
Despite the heartbreaking scoreline, Anisimova’s path was remarkable. Her fortnight was highlighted by a 6–0, 6–0 win in the first round and a stunning upset over world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka in the semis.. Though the final was overwhelming, she displayed grace and heart—particularly in her tearful post-match tribute to her mother.
5. Emotions and Elegance: Humility Beyond the Scoreline
Commentators like John McEnroe called the final “a total disaster” for Anisimova, expressing sympathy as watching became “really really hard”. In contrast, Swiatek remained humble: “First of all I want to congratulate Amanda” and “I didn’t even dream about winning Wimbledon”.
6. Royalty, Records & Reverence
The trophy was presented by Princess Kate, whose presence added regal significance to the match . Swiatek’s win also breaks her tie with Hingis and Sharapova, marking her as one of the game’s current greats.
