Wimbledon Ladies Final 2025: Swiatek’s Double Bagel Triumph

It was one of the most dominant performances Centre Court has ever witnessed. The Wimbledon Ladies Final 2025 saw Poland’s Iga Swiatek produce a clinical, ruthless display of grass-court brilliance to dismantle American challenger Amanda Anisimova in straight sets – 6-0, 6-0. In doing so, she delivered the first double bagel in a Wimbledon women’s final since 1911 and secured her sixth Grand Slam title without dropping a single game.

Swiatek raced through the first five games in a blur, forcing errors and leaving Anisimova chasing shadows. Within 57 minutes, it was all over. The Polish star dropped her racket, leapt into the stands to embrace her team, then her sister, and her proud father Tomas – a former Olympic rower. It was a crowning moment in a career already stacked with success, but never before on grass.

While the scoreline was lopsided, the emotion was anything but. Anisimova fought back tears in her post-match speech, thanking her mother – who flew in that morning – and acknowledging the electric crowd that lifted her throughout the tournament. She admitted she “ran out of gas” but graciously congratulated her opponent.

Swiatek, meanwhile, kept it heartfelt and humorous:

“Honestly, I didn’t even dream – this was way too far. I feel like I’m an experienced player, but I never expected this one. I want to thank my team – they believed in me more than I did.”

She added with a smile:

“I’ll always remember the sound of champagne bottles opening between serves. It’ll keep me up at night.”

Swiatek’s Grass-Court Breakthrough

Known for her dominance on clay, Swiatek had long been chasing validation on grass. After some mixed results earlier in her career at Wimbledon, many questioned whether she could adapt her topspin-heavy style to the speed and low bounce of the surface.

But 2025 marked a turning point. From early rounds to the final, she was virtually untouchable. She adjusted her stance, timing, and grip to better suit grass, improving her serve accuracy and movement. Against Anisimova, she hit 10 winners, landed 78% of her first serves, and kept unforced errors to just 11 – a masterclass in balance and aggression.

Amanda’s Grit and Journey

For Amanda Anisimova, this tournament was a breakthrough in its own right. She came back to the sport in 2024 after taking time off to deal with burnout. Her run to the final included a stunning semi-final victory over Aryna Sabalenka, showing poise, power, and resilience.

But the final proved a step too far. Swiatek’s footwork and depth pinned Anisimova behind the baseline. The American’s power game – usually a weapon – was neutralised by Swiatek’s defence and relentless pace.

Yet Amanda’s dignity and composure won hearts. She thanked the fans, her team, and her mother, before bursting into tears:

“It was a tough day, but an amazing journey. Thank you for lifting me up.”

A Historic Scoreline

A double bagel – winning 6-0, 6-0 – in any match is rare. In a Wimbledon final, it’s practically unheard of. The last time it happened in the women’s final was in 1911, over a century ago.

Swiatek now joins an elite group of players who have dominated Grand Slam finals in such emphatic fashion. Her 6-for-6 record in major finals matches legends like Monica Seles and Serena Williams at the height of their powers.

Match Statistics

• Aces: Swiatek 3 – Anisimova 0
• First serve percentage: Swiatek 78% – Anisimova 45%

What This Means for Women’s Tennis

Swiatek’s Wimbledon win is more than a personal milestone – it’s a message to the rest of the WTA. She’s no longer just a clay-court specialist; she’s now an all-surface champion. With titles on clay, hard court, and now grass, she joins the likes of Serena, Steffi Graf, and Sharapova as multi-surface Grand Slam winners.

For Anisimova, the loss is tough – but the signs are there that her resurgence is real. With more experience and time on the court, she could very well become a regular Grand Slam contender.
