Iga Swiatek etched her name in tennis history with a commanding victory over Amanda Anisimova, securing her first Wimbledon title with a perfect 6-0, 6-0 scoreline. This triumph marks the first time a Polish player has won at Wimbledon, and the youngest achievement on all surfaces since Serena Williams in 2002.

Anisimova, the American 13th seed, faced a nightmarish defeat as she became the first woman since 1911 to lose by such a margin in a Wimbledon final, causing shock and dismay among her supporters. Swiatek's relentless performance was a testament to her resilience and skill, following a challenging period off the court due to an inadvertent doping violation.

The win also signifies Swiatek's evolution as a complete player, as she stands as the first since Monica Seles in 1992 to win her first six major finals. Her victory drew to a close a 13-month drought, highlighting her potential to dominate the sport in years to come.
