Iga Swiatek has emerged as Wimbledon’s eighth consecutive first-time champion on the grass courts of the All England Club, defeating Amanda Anisimova in two straight and perfect sets on Saturday.

Swiatek wiped the grass courts clean in two straight sets of 6-0, 6-0 within an hour to embarrass the American, who stood no chance.

Iga becomes the first player in 114 years to win the Wimbledon final with a score line of 6-0, 6-0.

Since Serena Williams retired following the 2022 U.S. Open, the women’s game has lacked a single dominant figure. That vacuum has opened the door for emerging names—like 13th-seeded Anisimova, a 23-year-old American making her first appearance in a Grand Slam final, and Swiatek, a former world No. 1 with five major titles to her name but limited success at Wimbledon until now.

Since Serena Williams captured her seventh and final Wimbledon title in 2016, the women’s singles trophy has changed hands each year—always to someone winning it for the first time.

The recent winners list includes Garbiñe Muguruza (2017), Angelique Kerber (2018), Simona Halep (2019), Ash Barty (2021), Elena Rybakina (2022), Marketa Vondrousova (2023), and Barbora Krejcikova (2024).

And now, Iga Swiatek joins the elite list, having clinched their maiden Wimbledon title.
