Poland's Iga Swiatek beat American Amanda Anisimova 6-0, 6-0 in the final to win her first Wimbledon title on Saturday. The Polish eighth seed completed the most lopsided of finals to win her sixth grand slam title.
Swiatek's victory on a sunny, breezy afternoon at Centre Court took just 57 minutes and gave Swiatek her sixth Grand Slam title overall. She is now 6-0 in major title matches.
The 24-year-old from Poland finished with a 55-24 edge in total points and accumulated that despite needing to produce merely 10 winners. Anisimova was shaky from the start and made 28 unforced errors.
It followed Friday’s men’s semi-finals, in which Carlos Alcaraz saw off Taylor Fritz before Jannik Sinner thrashed an injured Novak Djokovic. Those results set up tomorrow’s final, a rematch of last month’s modern classic in the French Open final, where Alcaraz fought from two sets down to beat the world No 1.

How Amanda Anisimova’s Wimbledon nightmare unfolded in 57 minutes of tennis violence by Iga Swiatek

Flo Clifford
Lawrence Ostlere reports from Centre Court:
It took the Centre Court crowd two points to begin rooting for Amanda Anisimova, after sensing some early nerves in her shaky serving arm. By the third, with the American facing three break points at 0-40, the crowd’s cheers had dissipated into a hum of whispered concern. Iga Swiatek quickly sealed the break, and Anisimova’s nightmare had begun.
It was arguably the worst set of tennis in Wimbledon’s long history of finals, perhaps of any grand slam final. She served three double faults and put only 33 per cent of first serves in (Swiatek landed 80 per cent); most tellingly, she made an eye-watering 14 unforced errors in just six games (Swiatek made only two). Anisimova won nine points in 25 minutes and lost 27.

Amanda Anisimova put her 6-0, 6-0 thrashing by Iga Swaitek in the Wimbledon final down to fatigue at the end of a long tournament played in high temperatures, saying her warm-up struggles on the morning of the match were a “red flag” that trouble was ahead.
Anisimova is the first women’s singles finalist not to win a game for more than century, going back to 1911.
The American 23-year-old was blown away by Swiatek, who secured her sixth grand-slam title and first at Wimbledon, and seemed gripped by nerves as she failed to recreate the performance which knocked out world No 1 Aryna Sabalenka in the semi-finals.

As well as being the first to dish out a Wimbledon singles’ final double bagel since 1911, and the first Polish singles champion at Wimbledon, Swiatek is only the fourth player in the Open era to win both the girls’ and women’s singles titles at SW19.
The other three are Martina Hingis, Amelie Mauresmo, and Ash Barty.

It’s a gorgeous moment and it’s been brilliant watching the tense, anxious Swiatek of the past year or so on court really let loose over the course of this fortnight.
She gestures to hear some more noise and waves her thanks to the crowd.

A distraught Amanda Anisimova broke down in tears on Centre Court after reacting to her heavy Wimbledon final defeat to Iga Swiatek.
The American became the first women’s singles player to lose a Wimbledon final 6-0, 6-0 since 1911, with the contest ending in just under an hour.
Anisimova had beaten world No 1 Aryna Sabalenka to reach the final, displaying the form of her life to seize a first grand slam final appearance.
But after failing to find anything close to her best form that had seen her reach this stage, a brave Anisimova delivered a speech in front of the Centre Court crowd, paying tribute to her family for their help in her journey.

Annabel Croft asks Iga Swiatek what it means to win Wimbledon; she has become the first Polish player ever to win the singles’ title.
“I’ve got to say I don’t know yet because it seems super surreal,” she says. “First of all I want to congratulate Amanda for an amazing two weeks, no matter what happened today you should be proud of the work you’re doing. I hope we’re gonna play many more finals here and other tournaments, you have the game for that. Congrats to your team as well.”
Asked about how long she has dreamed of this moment, she says, “Honestly I didn’t even dream! For me it was just way too far [off], I feel like I’m already an experienced player after winning the slams before, but I never really expected this one. I want to thank my team, I feel like they believed in me more than I did. I want to thank my coach, who joined this year, obviously with ups and downs, right now we showed everybody that it’s working. Also to the team that has been with me for many years, I would be nowhere without you. Having your trust and constant support and knowing each other so well, this is the best thing a player can have, so thank you guys.
“I always want to thank the rest of the team who came for the finals,” she says, before addressing them in Polish. “I want to also thank everybody who makes this tournament so unique, I always was kind of anxious because of that because walking around here, being on Centre Court, for me it felt like a huge pressure and a bit too much but this year I really, really enjoyed it. I feel like I improved my game enough to feel comfortable here.” She thanks the organisers and staff, before her sponsors and “everybody supporting at home”, before thanking the crowd for coming, “for being a part of this amazing event. I’m always going to remember the opening of champagne bottles between serves! It’s a sound that will keep me up at night. It’s really amazing, I’m going to enjoy this moment, hopefully you’re going to enjoy tomorrow’s men’s final, and see you next year.”

Annabel Croft readies to speak to Anisimova but gives her a moment to compose herself as the tears come again.
She addresses Swiatek first. “You’re such an incredible player, it obviously showed today. You’ve been such an inspiration to me, just an unbelievable athlete. Getting to the final of your first Wimbledon it’s so special, so congratulations to you and your team.
“Thank you to everyone who’s supported me since my first-round match here, you guys have carried me throughout this entire championship and it’s been an incredible fortnight for me. Even though I ran out of gas a bit today, I wish that I could put on a better performance, you guys have been there for me and lifted me up, so thank you very much.
“Thank you to everyone who’s put on this incredible tournament, it’s been such a privilege playing here. To be able to compete in front of all of you has been so so special. I’ll never forget this experience and all of these memories.
“To my pretty small box up there - I don’t think there’s one seat left. Some of my family flying in, it was so unbelievable to experience this with you all, you guys were that extra motivation and inspiration I needed. You guys have always believed in me. My mum, who flew in this morning, I definitely would not be standing here...” she trails off and tears up again. Mum wipes away a tear too.
“My mum’s put in more work than I have, honestly,” she manages to say. “I’m so sorry... My mum is the most selfless person I know and she’s done everything to get me to this point in my life. So thank you for being here and breaking the superstition of flying in - it’s definitely not why I lost today! I love you so much, and to the rest of my team, this whole journey, you guys have made it so enjoyable. I honestly don’t have the words, I’m so so thankful. I love you guys, you know that.
“Lastly, I know I didn’t have enough today but I’m going to keep putting in the work and I hope to be back here one day. Thank you everyone.”

Anisimova’s heart just is not in this. Every groundstroke is returned with interest by Swiatek and a couple of loose balls see her go 15-40 down.
And she breaks, with Anisimova pinned at the net, with a cross-court winner.
Anisimova might look to the example of Madison Keys, once the dust has settled on this experience. The American lost her maiden slam final at the 2017 US Open 6-3, 6-0, overcome by stage fright. But she came back and now has the Australian Open trophy in her cabinet.

Anisimova looks gutted, the ball is just not doing what she wants it to do here. Another down-the-line strike is well wide of the tramlines.
But a double fault brings up back to deuce. Minor signs of nerves for Swiatek. Somebody whoops at the double fault, not very sporting, but perhaps justified here.
An ace down the T to follow, no nerves there.

She thumps into the net and the body language is not looking good, but this feels such a pivotal game.
Centre Court roar her on and a forehand winner down the line is much more like the Anisimova we know.
But she double faults for 30-40... “Come on Amanda” shout the crowd.

A fun point at 30-0 sees Anismova do brilliantly to stay in it and advance to the net, where an unfortunate net cord bamboozles her and she lobs too long in a panic. The American then fires just out with a forehand to lose the first of three set points, and that’s that after only 25 minutes.

Anisimova just cannot get her forehand going right now, dumping balls halfway up the net too often. She does so when ahead 15-30, and again at 40-30 to give up another game when she had a foothold.

The crowd roar their approval, but Anisimova hits wide on the very next point to give up the early break. The American looked understandably nervous there.

Having dabbled in art while taking a mental health break from the sport in 2023 over burnout fears, the 23-year-old Anisimova will look to pick up her racket and paint a masterpiece on Centre Court with the world watching.
There have been strokes of brilliance during her run this year, highlighted by her semi-final win over top seed Aryna Sabalenka, but Anisimova said reaching the level she has after her eight-month sabbatical felt even more special.
"It goes to show that it's possible," Anisimova said.
"That's a really special message I've been able to show because when I took my break, a lot of people told me I'd never make it to the top again if I take so much time away from the game. That was a little hard to digest.
"I did want to come back and still achieve a lot and win a Grand Slam one day. Just me being able to prove that you can get back to the top if you prioritise yourself ... that's incredibly special to me. It means a lot."

“It’s something we spoke about going into the year [winning a grand slam]. A lot of people probably wouldn't have believed us. Our team backed us all the way. To do it here, I mean it couldn’t mean more. To do it on the most special court in the world? Incredible.”
Lloyd Glasspool: “When you say it, it sounds incredible. I didn’t think too much about it. We’ve given you one Brit the last few years but now we’ve given you two Brits.”

Fifth seeds Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool capped their dream summer with the Wimbledon crown and first Grand Slam title as a pair when the British team downed Rinky Hijikata and David Pel 6-2 7-6(3) in the men's doubles final on Saturday.
Queen's Club and Eastbourne champions Cash and Glasspool became the first all-British pairing to win the All England Club trophy since 1936, when Pat Hughes and Raymond Tuckey defeated their compatriots Charles Hare and Frank Wilde in the final.
The local favourites shot out of the blocks after an early break thanks to a poor service game from Pel and raced through the opening set with minimum fuss, leaving fans buzzing on a sun-drenched Centre Court.
The Australian-Dutch duo of Hijikata and Pel saved a break point at the start of the second set and applied pressure in the fourth game but their opponents were equal to the task and took a step towards the title when they went 4-2 up.
Hijikata and Pel, who entered the tournament as alternates and survived match points in their first two rounds, drew level after eight games before Cash and Glasspool moved up a gear in the tiebreak to prevail and spark huge celebrations.
