Iga Swiatek wasted no time asserting her dominance on Centre Court, taking the first set 6-0 against Amanda Anisimova in the 2025 Wimbledon women’s singles final.
On the other side of the net, Anisimova looked overwhelmed by the moment and the intensity of her opponent. Despite powering through a high-pressure semi-final against Aryna Sabalenka, the American has so far failed to replicate that level.
Swiatek Seizes Control Early in Wimbledon Final as Anisimova Falters Under Pressure
Swiatek’s performance marks a significant turning point in her career on grass, a surface she once admitted challenged her footwork and confidence. With improved serve placement and sharper baseline control, she’s now one set away from conquering the only Grand Slam that has eluded her.
Amanda Anisimova entered the final riding high on a wave of momentum after defeating world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka. Her fearless play and thunderous groundstrokes had previously undone top contenders, but today’s final is proving to be a different beast. The occasion, combined with Swiatek’s relentless depth and court coverage, has left her gameplan in tatters.
Wimbledon 2025 has already witnessed dramatic moments, including medical emergencies on Centre Court and history made in the doubles draw. With Sunday’s men’s final between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner looming, tennis fans are being treated to a tournament packed with narrative twists and generational duels.
This final also carries symbolic weight: if Swiatek claims the title, she joins a prestigious group of players who have completed a Career Grand Slam in the Open Era. For Anisimova, even reaching this final solidifies her rise back into tennis’s elite after injuries and personal setbacks in recent years.
As Swiatek moves closer to sealing her first Wimbledon title, the final underscores not just athletic excellence, but the mental resilience required to succeed on tennis’s grandest stage.
