On a sun-drenched Centre Court at Wimbledon, 24-year-old Polish star Iga Świątek didn’t just win — she annihilated. In a final that will be remembered for generations, she demolished American Amanda Anisimova 6-0, 6-0 in just 57 minutes, capturing her first Wimbledon title in the most brutal, breathtaking fashion imaginable.

That scoreline — commonly called a “double bagel” — hasn’t been seen in a women’s Wimbledon final in 114 years, since Dorothea Lambert Chambers steamrolled Dora Boothby in 1911. Wikipedia+1 For all its history, the 2025 final will be read about for its raw dominance and the brutal efficiency with which Świątek wiped the court clean. ABC+1
When the match ended, Centre Court was stunned — and so was Świątek. Standing there nearly in disbelief, she told reporters: “It seems super surreal.” She added: “I’m just proud of myself because … who would have expected that?” ESPN.com+1
But this wasn’t a fluke. Over the fortnight, Świątek paced through the draw with quiet menace — she lost only two games in the semifinal, then delivered what might be the most decisive Grand Slam final performance in decades. CBS Sports+1
The win marks her sixth Grand Slam title, and — for the first time — a Wimbledon crown. It also cements her status among the all-time greats. She’s now won majors on clay, hardcourt and grass — making her one of the few women in the Open era to conquer all three surfaces. SI+1
For fans who once doubted her ability on grass courts, Świątek just delivered the ultimate answer. The same formidable player who dominated Roland Garros on clay has arrived on the lawns of SW19 — not just to compete, but to dominate. The Guardian+1
As the trophy was handed to her — the Venus Rosewater Dish held high — the applause echoed across decades of Wimbledon history. For Poland, for her team, and for herself, this was redemption and triumph rolled into one.
And for Anisimova? A crushing defeat, yes — but also a debut Grand Slam final under unimaginable pressure. She said afterwards she was “frozen” by nerves and fatigue, but promised fans she would work harder and return stronger. ESPN.com+1
But today belongs to Świątek. A perfect final, a perfect win. In less than an hour, she turned doubters into believers — and Wimbledon into her own private highlight reel.
