A rampant Iga Swiatek stormed past Amanda Anisimova to make history with her first Wimbledon title and sixth Grand Slam title overall.<\/p>\n
Ending a 13-month wait for a tour-level title, eighth seed and world No 4 Swiatek<\/a> was in cruise control as she thrashed Anisimova<\/a> 6-0, 6-0 to triumph at the All England Club.<\/p>\n Swiatek had rounded into form across her campaign at the All England Club, not losing a set since dropping the opener against Caty McNally back in round two.<\/p>\n And, after a dominant semi-final win over Belinda Bencic on Thursday<\/a>, the eighth seed continued her scintillating form out on Centre Court.<\/p>\n The former world No 1 broke three times on her way to winning a bagel opening set in just 25 minutes, with Anisimova struggling to settle in her maiden Grand Slam final.<\/p>\n And, in just 57 minutes, the Pole wrapped up an astonishing double bagel triumph to claim the title for the first time.<\/p>\n Swiatek is just the second woman in the Open Era to win a Grand Slam final 6-0, 6-0, following on from Steffi Graf, who beat Natasha Zvereva 6-0, 6-0 at the 1988 French Open.<\/p>\n It is the first 6-0, 6-0 win in a Wimbledon final since 1911, when Dorothea Lambert Chambers beat Dora Boothby.<\/p>\n Victory for Swiatek makes her the first Polish player to ever win Wimbledon, and makes her just the eighth woman in tennis history to complete the \u2018Surface Slam\u2019<\/a>, winning major titles on grass, clay, and hard courts.<\/p>\n She is also just the second woman in the Open Era to win her first six Grand Slam finals, following in the footsteps of fellow former world No 1 Monica Seles.<\/p>\n And, the eighth seed dropped just 35 games on her way to the title, the fewest games dropped by any woman at Wimbledon this century, and the fewest since 1990.<\/p>\n Who are Iga Swiatek\u2019s parents? How father Tomasz inspired her Grand Slam success<\/a><\/p>\n Who is Iga Swiatek\u2019s coach Wim Fissette? The Belgian has coached WTA stars to six Grand Slams<\/a><\/p>\n \u201c<\/em>It seems super surreal,\u201d said Swiatek in her on-court speech.<\/p>\n \u201cI want to congratulate Amanda for an amazing two weeks. No matter what happened today, you should be proud of the work you\u2019re doing. I hope we\u2019re going to play many more finals here and other tournaments. You have the game for that.<\/p>\n \u201cHonestly, I didn\u2019t even dream [of winning Wimbledon]. It was just way too far, you know. I feel like I\u2019m already an experienced player after winning the Slams before, but I never really expected this one.<\/p>\n \u201cI want to thank my team, because I feel like they believed in me more than I did. I want to thank my coach [Wim Fissette] who joined this year. Obviously, with ups and downs, but right now we showed everybody that it\u2019s working.<\/p>\n \u201cAlso to the team that has been with me for many years, I would be nowhere without you.\u201d<\/p>\n Swiatek dropped down to world No 8 after losing in the semi-final of the French Open, but is now set to rise back up to world No 3 on Monday.<\/p>\n Read Next<\/strong>:\u00a0<\/span>Record Wimbledon prize money revealed: How much will Iga Swiatek and Amanda Anisimova earn?<\/a><\/p>\n The post Iga Swiatek emulates astonishing Steffi Graf feat with Grand Slam final double bagel<\/a> appeared first on Tennis365<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A rampant Iga Swiatek stormed past Amanda Anisimova to make history with her first Wimbledon title and sixth Grand Slam title overall.
