Iga Swiatek needed just 57 minutes to earn her first Wimbledon title and sixth major championship, overwhelming American Amanda Anisimova 6-0, 6-0 on Saturday in the first women’s final at the tournament in 114 years in which one player failed to claim a single game.
Swiatek, a 24-year-old from Poland, improved to 6-0 in major finals, adding Wimbledon — the first title of her professional career at any grass-court tournament — to her collection of four French Open trophies and one US Open. She becomes the eighth women’s player all time — and only active one — to win a major title on all three surfaces.
Swiatek won 55 of Saturday’s 79 points despite needing to produce merely 10 winners. Anisimova was shaky from the start and made 28 unforced errors.
