Wimbledon: Swiatek is the new queen, defeating Anisimova 6-0.

Iga Swiatek is the new queen of Wimbledon . The Polish tennis player, seeded number 8 but formerly number 1 in the world , won the women's singles title by beating American tennis player Amanda Anisimova, number 13, 6-0, 6-0 in the final in less than an hour of play.

A one-sided match, lasting just 57 minutes. There had been a similar precedent only in 1911, when Dorothea Douglass Chambers won the final 6-0.

For twenty-four-year-old Swiatek, this is her sixth career Grand Slam title , her first on the grass at Wimbledon. The Polish player remains unbeatable in major finals, having won all six of them. American Anisimova's dream, however, ended in the final. She performed beyond expectations, but perhaps paid the price of excitement and the novice nature of her first Slam final . Swiatek is the eighth different Wimbledon champion in the last eight seasons. Also watching the match from the Royal Box was Princess Kate, who, as is tradition, is responsible for awarding the tournament's winner.

Thanks to this result, the Polish player —the first representative of her country to triumph at Church Road— climbs to No. 3 in the rankings, preceded only by Sabalenka and Gauff . When you least expect it, given her season so far, Swiatek's best career result arrives, and it's at Wimbledon. Yes, there was the final in Bad Homburg, lost to Pegula, right on the eve of the British Slam. It was significant because it was achieved on grass, but above all because the Pole hadn't reached the final of a tournament since Roland Garros 2024 (when she won what was her last title to date). Statistics in hand, Swiatek is 10-1 on grass in 2025: she's never achieved so many victories on this surface in a single season.

"I never even dreamed of winning this tournament; it was too big for me. I already felt complete after winning other slams, but I never expected this," Iga Swiatek said after the Wimbledon final. "I had a lot of fun this year, and I feel like I've improved my form here, " the Polish player continued. Swiatek also addressed her opponent, American Anisimova: "First of all, I want to congratulate Amanda on the fantastic two weeks she's had here. You should be proud of the work you're doing, and I hope we play more finals."

American opponent Amanda Anisimova's reaction, through tears: " We grew up together, it was special to play together here. We spent two fantastic weeks here together, and I want to congratulate you on your victory ." Then, turning to the winner, who was her peer, she said: "Thank you for supporting me from the first match I played here. I wanted to play better for you, but something just didn't work out. I won't forget this. I hope to be back here next year ." The tennis player, who lost her father a few years ago, broke down again in tears as she thanked her mother, who was present in the stands.
