Iga Swiatek was visibly moved after claiming her first Wimbledon title, following a dominant 6-0, 6-0 rout of her opponent Amanda Anisimova in just 57 minutes. The Pole secured her 6th Grand Slam title, and her first on grass courts, solidifying an impressive 6-0 record in major finals.
Swiatek now completes the "Surface Slam," meaning she has won major titles on all surfaces, adding Wimbledon (2025) to her four Roland Garros crowns (2020, '22, '23, '24) and the US Open (2022) title. Swiatek is only the second player in the Open Era to win her first six Grand Slam finals, emulating Monica Seles's achievement.
The historic thrashing of Anisimova sets an almost unmatched record. The last time something similar was seen was in the 1988 Roland Garros final, when Steffi Graf delivered a double bagel against Natalia Zvereva. However, at Wimbledon, this hadn't happened since the 1911 final—114 years ago.
"It seems super surreal," commented the 6-time Grand Slam champion during the awards ceremony. "First of all I want to congratulate Amanda for an amazing two weeks no matter what happened today. I hope we're going to play many more finals here and at other tournaments.”
"I didn't even dream (about winning Wimbledon) because for me it was just like way too far, you know?" the new World No. 3 said. "I feel like I'm already an experienced player. But after winning, you know, the slams before, but I never really expected this one."
Swiatek finds her stride again by winning her first title since French Open 2024, a period during which she fell in as many as seven semifinals, in addition to the Bad Homburg Open final a week ago. The 24-year-old Pole moves up to World No. 3 – trailing only Gauff and Sabalenka – and positions herself second in the WTA Race.

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Having spent weeks and weeks through the years on tour, I can say with confidence that Conchita was (is) one of the very few who realize the surprising level of maturity (and sometimes lack of) which Mirra seems to have developed in such a demanding adult world of Pro-Tennis. While at the same time reminding herself (Conchita, that is) that Mirra is still young and developing mentally and physically. The general public may forget at times, or not at all realize, these modern era young athletes do not have a 'normal' Youth. It's a major sacrifice, among countless sacrifices, these athletes must make. People who blow-off that fact are ignorant and unfair when they blurt out, "They choose fame so they have to put up with the intrusions on their lives". No, they do not.mandoist05-11-2026
- Okay... someone with a camera was EAVESDROPPING on a private conversation. Shouldn't that be the point of discussion here? Regardless of the sensationalist crap by media, Pegula (and anyone) has a right to an opinion. There used to be an expectation that private conversations were respected, regardless of 'stardom' and whatever other defensive excuses media tries to shove in our faces. Boo-hoo if feelings are hurt. BTW: Having been employed at various tourney venues, etc., I can't tell you how nasty and offensive players can be when discussing their opponents and colleagues... in "private". Well, I could, but won't. I also challenge anyone to deny what Jessica said is false.mandoist05-11-2026
