The 5 most one-sided Wimbledon women’s singles finals: Iga Swiatek sets new record

Few could have predicted just how dominant Iga Swiatek would be in Saturday’s Wimbledon women’s singles final.

After a tricky few months, the eighth seed needed just 57 minutes to dispatch 13th seed Amanda Anisimova, attaining just the second 6-0, 6-0 Grand Slam final win of the Open Era.

No woman in the Open Era had ever won a Wimbledon final without dropping a game before Swiatek, who now holds a perfect 6-0 record in Grand Slam finals.

Here, we look at the list of the five most dominant SW19 finals, which she now tops.

=3) 2014: Petra Kvitova def Eugenie Bouchard, 6-3, 6-0 – Three games dropped

Two-time Wimbledon champion Kvitova played her final SW19 match in 2025, 11 years on from arguably the finest hour of her career.

Having beaten Maria Sharapova to win the 2011 title, Kvitova was a hesitant favourite to beat Bouchard when she returned to the final three years later.

However, the Czech barely allowed Bouchard time to breathe, dropping just three games and needing just 55 minutes to regain the Venus Rosewater Dish.

=3) 1983: Martina Navratilova def Andrea Jaeger, 6-0, 6-3 – Three games dropped

Navratilova’s nine Wimbledon titles remains the record for a female or male player in the Open Era, and the former world No 1 won six straight titles from 1982 and 1987.

That includes a dominant 1983 final triumph over former world No 2 Jaeger, who was also runner-up at the French Open in 1982.

Much like Swiatek, Navratilova bagelled her rival in the opening set, and dropped just three games in the second to win the title for a fourth time.

=3) 1992: Steffi Graf def Monica Seles, 6-2, 6-1 – Three games dropped

Graf and Seles’ rivalry is one of the greatest in tennis history, though their 1992 Wimbledon final was certainly not the high point.

Seles had beaten former champion Navratilova to reach the final but was swept away by Graf, who conceded just three games to win her fourth SW19 title.

The German would go on to win the title thrice more, while it was the only major that eluded Seles’ grasp; she never returned to the final.

2) 1975: Billie Jean King def Evonne Goolagong, 6-0, 6-1 – One game dropped

Until now, tennis icon King’s rampant win over Goolagong five decades ago was the most one-sided Wimbledon final in terms of games dropped in the Open Era.

The American had already lifted the title five times, including three times in the Open Era, though Goolagong herself had triumphed in 1971.

But, the American needed just a staggering 38 minutes to triumph inside Centre Court, dropping just one game in the process.

1) 2025: Iga Swiatek def Amanda Anisimova 6-0, 6-0 – Zero games dropped

Taking three minutes shy of one hour, Swiatek’s triumph over Anisimova is not quite the quickest final in terms of time.

However, she has now eclipsed King by becoming the first woman in the Open Era to win a Wimbledon singles final without dropping a single game.

Swiatek dominated throughout, breaking her opponent’s serve six times and not facing a single break point on her own serve.

It is the first double bagel at Wimbledon since 1911, when Dorothea Lambert Chambers beat Dora Boothby.

And, it is just the second double bagel of the Open Era, after Steffi Graf’s famous 6-0, 6-0 triumph versus Natasha Zvereva at the 1988 French Open.
