MusaWhat a scene at Wimbledon 2025! Picture this: Centre Court bathed in sunshine, a packed crowd, and then—boom!—Iga Świątek serves up a tennis masterclass. In just 57 minutes, the 24-year-old from Poland utterly dismantles Amanda Anisimova, blitzing her 6–0, 6–0 to claim her very first Wimbledon title in emphatic style.
This wasn’t just any victory — it was historic. A double-bagel in a Grand Slam final is practically unheard of. In fact, the last time a women’s final at Wimbledon ended without the loser winning a single game was way back in 1911. It’s only the third double-bagel in major-final history — the last one being Steffi Graf’s 1988 French Open demolition of Natasha Zvereva.
For Świątek, this triumph is extra sweet — her first Grand Slam on grass, and her sixth major overall. More amazingly, she’s now won a major on all three surfaces: clay, hard, and now grass. And she did it in style: it was her 100th career Grand Slam match win, achieved faster than any woman since Serena Williams.
But it wasn’t all about dominating tennis—it was also deeply emotional. Anisimova, making her first Slam final, was visibly moved. Tears welled up during the trophy presentation; Princess Kate, who graciously offered the words “You should be so proud,” gently consoled her. And in her speech, Anisimova was nothing but graceful—singing Świątek’s praises, expressing her gratitude to supporters, and paying heartfelt tribute to her mother for flying in to be there.
Meanwhile, Świątek was positively glowing. She described winning Wimbledon as “surreal,” and openly admitted she didn’t expect this to happen, especially on grass, a surface that’s historically challenged her.
In the end, it was a match that was unforgettable—for Świątek’s unrelenting brilliance, for Anisimova’s raw emotion and maturity, and for a moment of royal grace that reminded us sport can be both fierce and deeply human.
