Recap Iga Świątek’s historic victory over Amanda Anisimova, who was unable to win a single game in the women’s singles final
Iga Swiatek shut out Amanda Anisimova in the Wimbledon women's final Saturday in a match that lasted just under an hour. Swiatek won in consecutive sets, 6-0, 6-0. It was the first women's final at the tournament in 114 years in which one player failed to claim a single game.
No. 8 Iga Swiatek dominated the women’s Wimbledon final on Saturday, defeating No. 13 Amanda Anisimova 6-0, 6-0 to win her sixth Grand Slam title in only 57 minutes. Swiatek, 24, became the first woman since 1911 to win the Wimbledon final without losing a single game.
The American's crushing defeat to Iga Świątek was rendered more painful by the way tennis works, but it also allows her to rebound.
The posts were shared days after Anisimova reached her first Grand Slam final following an upset win over top seed Aryna Sabalenka in the semis.
It was billed as the Wimbledon women’s final that no one expected, it finished as a match that American rising star Amanda Anisimova will want to forget.
Aryna Sabalenka remained atop the women’s rankings, followed by French Open champion Coco Gauff, who lost in the first round at Wimbledon.
