London: Iga Swiatek, nicknamed as ‘Queen of Clay’, has finally cracked the grass as she bagged her maiden title on the surface by winning the Wimbledon 2025 women’s singles on Saturday, July 12. Swiatek bossed the final at SW19 as she squashed the American Amanda Anisimova in straight sets without dropping a single game.
Swiatek was in her first-ever Wimbledon final after having her best result of being a quarterfinalist. She had won 22 WTA titles previously, but had never won a grass-court title until her famous Wimbledon win.
Coming into Wimbledon, Swiatek was a five-time Grand Slam winner, having won four Roland Garros titles and one US Open.
It turned into a nightmare afternoon for 13th seed Anisimova, who became the first player to lose a Wimbledon final 6-0 6-0 since 1911 and the first to do so at any Grand Slam since Steffi Graf beat Natasha Zvereva at the 1988 French Open.
Swiatek, who had never gone beyond the Wimbledon quarter-finals before this year despite winning four French Open crowns, could never have imagined that claiming her sixth Grand Slam title could have been as easy.
She dropped only two games in her semi-final against Belinda Bencic and was even more ruthless in the final, clinching victory with a backhand winner
