In a masterclass of precision and dominance, Iga Świątek captured her first Wimbledon title by dismantling American Amanda Anisimova with a rare and emphatic 6-0, 6-0 victory. With this triumph, the 23-year-old from Poland not only claimed her sixth Grand Slam title, but also made history as the first player from Poland ever to win the prestigious Wimbledon Championships.
Świątek’s performance on Centre Court was nothing short of breathtaking. With her blistering groundstrokes, relentless movement, and a newly polished serve tailored for grass, she delivered a flawless display in front of a packed crowd at the All England Club. Her victory marked a new era for Polish tennis on the sport’s most sacred stage.
From Warsaw to World No. 1
Born in Warsaw in 2001, Iga Świątek grew up in a sports-loving family — her father, Tomasz, was an Olympic rower who represented Poland in the 1988 Seoul Games. Encouraged to pursue athletics early, Iga initially split her time between swimming and tennis, before focusing fully on the court. Her junior breakthrough came in 2018, when she won the girls’ singles title at Wimbledon, a glimpse of what was to come.
Świątek burst onto the global stage in 2020, when as a 19-year-old unseeded player, she powered through the field at Roland Garros without dropping a set — becoming the youngest French Open champion since Monica Seles in 1992. Since then, she has built a reputation as one of the most complete and mentally strong players in the game.
Grand Slam Titles and Dominance
With her Wimbledon crown, Świątek now owns six Grand Slam titles:
Roland Garros: 2020, 2022, 2023, 2024
US Open: 2022
Wimbledon: 2025
Her versatility across surfaces and relentless baseline game have drawn praise from players and legends alike. After her French Open title in 2022, Rafael Nadal remarked: “She’s very impressive. Iga has the right attitude, the right intensity. She’s dominating.” Naomi Osaka has also expressed admiration, calling her “a model of consistency and focus.”
