No. 8 Iga Swiatek dominated the women\u2019s Wimbledon final on Saturday, defeating No. 13 Amanda Anisimova 6-0, 6-0 to win her sixth Grand Slam title in only 57 minutes.
Swiatek, 24, became the first woman since 1911 to win the Wimbledon final without losing a single game.
After upsetting Aryna Sabalenka \u2014 the top-ranked player in the world \u2014 Anisimova could not find her footing Saturday. She made 28 unforced errors in the loss, and won only 24 points compared to Swiatek\u2019s 55.
\u201cIt\u2019s been an incredible fortnight for me, even though I ran out of gas a bit today,\u201d Anisimova said during an on-court interview after the match.
While Swiatek has been dominant on clay in her career (winning the French Open four times), she had not made it further than the quarterfinals of Wimbledon prior to this year. Swiatek\u2019s Wimbledon title is her first Grand Slam win outside of Roland Garros since she won the U.S. Open in 2022.
Entering the tournament ranked fourth in the WTA, Swiatek finished her Wimbledon run in dominant fashion.
She did not lose a single game in her last three sets, and dropped only two games overall in her final two matches of the tournament. Swiatek lost only one set during the entire fortnight.
Swiatek has now won every Grand Slam except the Australian Open.

If Anisimova wins today, she will become the third American woman to win a Grand Slam this year, after Madison Keys won the Australian Open and Coco Gauff won the French.
Anisimova, at 23, is the youngest American woman to make the Wimbledon final since Serena Williams in 2004. (Williams, then 22, lost to Maria Sharapova.)

More comfortable on grass courts than ever, Iga Swiatek played as well as she ever has on the slick surface<\/a> \u2014 well, better than ever, actually \u2014 to reach her first Wimbledon final by defeating Belinda Bencic 6-2, 6-0 at Centre Court on Thursday.
\u201cI never even dreamt that it\u2019s going to be possible for me to play in the final,\u201d said Swiatek, who has won five Grand Slam titles elsewhere and spent most of 2022, 2023 and 2024 at No. 1 in the WTA rankings.
Good as she is on clay courts, especially, and hard courts, too, Swiatek only once had been as far as the quarterfinals at Wimbledon until this week.
\u201cI\u2019m just super excited and just proud of myself,\u201d the 24-year-old from Poland said after wrapping up the victory over Bencic in just 71 minutes. \u201cTennis keeps surprising me. I thought I lived through everything, even though I\u2019m young. I thought I experienced everything on the court. But I didn\u2019t experience playing well on grass. That\u2019s the first time.\u201d

Kate, the Princess of Wales, will attend the Wimbledon women’s’ singles final between Iga Swiatek and Amanda Anisimova today.
A big tennis fan, Kate, 42, has been a fixture in the Royal Box for many years, often attending with her husband,\u00a0Prince William, and other members of the royal family.
Last year, she attended the men’s final\u00a0between Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz.

NBC Sports’ Drew Dinsick gives his favorite plays for the Iga Swiatek vs. Amanda Anisimova match in the Wimbledon women’s final, evaluating the options with Swiatek as a favorite.

Amanda Anisimova, the 12th-ranked women\u2019s tennis player in the world, advanced to the Wimbledon final by shocking top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka in the semifinals Thursday. If she defeats No. 8 Iga Swiatek on Saturday, she\u2019ll capture her first Grand Slam title.
The accomplishment is even more improbable knowing Anisimova temporarily left the sport to focus on her mental health just two years ago.
\u201cI\u2019ve really been struggling with my mental health and burnout since the summer of 2022,\u201d Anisimova\u00a0wrote on social media<\/a>\u00a0on May 5, 2023. \u201cIt\u2019s become unbearable being at tennis tournaments. At this point, my priority is my mental well-being and taking a break for some time. I\u2019ve worked as hard as I could to push through it. I will miss being out there, and I appreciate all the continuous support.\u201d
Anisimova returned to competitive play at the Auckland Open in January 2024 and has been slowly but surely climbing back up the ranks since.
