Iga Swiatek won the Wimbledon women's final decisively against Amanda Anisimova with a score of 6-0, 6-0, in less than an hour. This victory marked only the second double bagel in the history of the tournament. Swiatek became Poland's first singles champion at Wimbledon. Kate, the Princess of Wales, presented the trophy. Anisimova, who returned from a break due to burnout and mental health issues, reached the final for the first time since Serena Williams in 2019, expressing gratitude for her opportunity to compete.
I want to congratulate Amanda for, you know, amazing two weeks anyway, no matter what happened today. You should be proud of the work you're doing, and I hope we're going to play many more finals here.
Anisimova emerged on the professional scene as a teenage powerhouse who seemed fated for tennis greatness. But a series of losses at major tournaments across the globe led to a 2023 decision.
It was only the second time in the Open era that the Wimbledon title has been won with a double bagel which is when a two-set match ends with one player winning every game.
Anisimova was the first U.S. woman to reach the Wimbledon final since Serena Williams in 2019. Spectators were curious to see how she would perform in London this year after a bumpy few years in her tennis career.
