On Saturday, July 12, the women's final at Wimbledon took place. Iga Swiatek delivered a merciless blow to Amanda Anisimova, capturing her first-ever title on the grass courts of a Grand Slam tournament.
The opening set was a breeze for the Pole—she demolished her opponent in just 26 minutes, not surrendering a single game. The onslaught continued in the second set: the match lasted less than an hour and ended with a historic scoreline.
Wimbledon. Women. Final
Amanda Anisimova (USA, 12) vs. Iga Swiatek (Poland, 4) — 0:6, 0:6
Such a lopsided final at the Wimbledon women's tournament is a first in the Open Era. The last time a scoreline like this was recorded was back in 1911, when Dorothea Lambert-Chambers defeated Dora Boothby 6-0, 6-0—a feat that occurred before the Amateur Era began.
In Grand Slam finals, such a score has been seen only once before. In 1988, Steffi Graf crushed Natasha Zvereva in the Roland Garros final.
Remarkably, this was the first Wimbledon final appearance for both players. The victory marks Swiatek's sixth Grand Slam title—now only the Australian Open trophy eludes her.
