Iga Swiatek and Amanda Anisimova went head-to-head in the much-anticipated Wimbledon 2025 women’s singles final, with both players making their debut in the big match at SW19. Swiatek, a five-time Grand Slam champion, really showed off her skills on the grass court with an impressive 6-0, 6-0 win. She displayed a mix of precision, power, and mental strength that you don’t often see on Centre Court.
Anisimova, in her first Grand Slam final, found it tough to handle the pressure, struggling to get into a groove or counter Swiatek’s strong performance. The final’s double-bagel score—6‑0, 6‑0—was the most one-sided Wimbledon women’s final in more than a hundred years and the first Grand Slam final shutout since Steffi Graf’s win at the 1988 French Open. At the same time, Anisimova’s 28 unforced errors really highlighted how tough it was for her to keep up with Swiatek’s relentless consistency.
By claiming the Venus Rosewater Dish, Swiatek snagged her first Wimbledon title, adding to her impressive résumé. She’s now the only active woman to have won Grand Slams on grass, clay, and hard courts.

However, during the press conference, Iga Swiatek shared her frustration about the crowd’s disruptive behavior at Wimbledon, saying, “I’m always going to remember the opening of champagne bottles between serves. It’s a sound that will keep me up at night.”
The Pole really liked the celebratory vibe, but she pointed out that unexpected interruptions during key moments of the game aren’t just little quirks—they can stick with a player for a long time. She’s on the same page as many others who are pushing for improved crowd behavior at Wimbledon, particularly when the usual traditions bump up against the need for players to focus on their game.
