Opponent left in tears as Swiatek wins Wimbledon women’s singles final 6-0, 6-0


Iga Swiatek has won the women’s singles Wimbledon title with an utterly dominant display over Amanda Anisimova.

The Polish player won 6-0, 6-0 over American Anisimova – taking the first set in just 25 minutes.

The last time a Wimbledon final was decided by such a scoreline was in 1911.

What should have been the best moment of her career turned into a nightmare for 23-year-old Anisimova, who was playing in her first Grand Slam final.

She could not find her first serve and made error after error, while 24-year-old Swiatek seemed right at home.

It is the Polish player’s fifth Grand Slam title having previously won four French Opens and one US Open title.

She is also the first Polish winner of a Wimbledon singles title in the open era and her triumph comes 13 years after her compatriot Agnieszka Radwanska lost to Serena Williams in the final.

It is the ninth year in a row that a different woman has lifted the Venus Rosewater Dish, and for the eighth consecutive year, the champion has never held the trophy before.

Swiatek was presented with the Wimbledon trophy by the Princess of Wales, who is patron of the All England Lawn Tennis Club.

Earlier in the day British duo Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool made hitory by winning the men’s doubles title.

The players are the first all-British pairing to win the title since Pat Hughes and Raymond Tuckey lifted the trophy in 1936.
