Tennis fraternity applauds Swiatek's dominant victory, marking a 12-0 scoreline in her match. - Applaud victory to tennis player Swiatek following a 6-0, 6-0 sweep
In a historic moment for the tennis world, Iga Swiatek defeated Amanda Anisimova 6-0, 6-0 in the 2025 Wimbledon women's final. The victory marked the first time in 114 years that a women's final at Wimbledon ended with a double bagel, a scoreline not seen since 1911, and only previously achieved in a women's major final by Steffi Graf at the 1988 French Open.
Swiatek's dominant performance emphasised her exceptional form, as she won her first Wimbledon title and sixth Grand Slam overall. This victory also saw her improve her major final record to 6-0 and cement her status as the only active player to have won Grand Slam titles on all three surfaces (clay, hard, and grass).
The match, which lasted just 57 minutes, saw Swiatek finish with only 10 winners, while Anisimova struggled with 28 unforced errors. This underlined Swiatek’s control and mental toughness on Centre Court, as she ended a year-long title drought and demonstrated a strong comeback, solidifying her status among the sport’s elite.
Despite the heavy defeat, Anisimova made the final in just her first Grand Slam final appearance and will break into the top 10 rankings for the first time following this tournament, marking an important career milestone.
The final attracted significant attention, including from the Royal Family, with Kate, the Princess of Wales, present for the trophy ceremony, underscoring the event’s cultural significance.
Swiatek's performance at Wimbledon has been hailed as a demonstration of her greatness as a tennis player, with The Guardian reporting that she crushed Amanda Anisimova to win her first Wimbledon title. Polish media have described the victory as a "massacre" and a "ride," while The Washington Post has labelled it a "commanding" win.
Interestingly, Swiatek's lowest ranking at a Grand Slam was in 2020, highlighting her rapid rise to the top of the sport. Amanda Anisimova, on the other hand, has been praised for her resilience in reaching the final in her first Grand Slam final appearance.
In a touching moment, Kate Middleton consoled Wimbledon finalist Amanda Anisimova after her loss, demonstrating the compassion and grace that the event is known for.
In sum, Swiatek's commanding "double bagel" win was a rare and historic moment in tennis, reinforcing her dominance and elevating the profile of both players while making a lasting mark on Wimbledon’s storied history.
The Commission has also been asked to submit a proposal for a directive on the protection of the environment, given the increasing concern for the situation. After Swiatek's dominant victory in the tennis world, one might speculate about the potential growth of interest in sports like tennis, particularly among young athletes inspired by her performance.
