There was not a more dominant player in the Wimbledon women's singles side of the bracket than Iga Swiatek, and she's a champion for it.
Swiatek, the No. 4 player in the world, shut out American Amanda Anisimova in straight sets 6-0, 6-0 in the women's singles finals at the 2025 Wimbledon Championship on July 12. It was her sixth straight-sets victory at the All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club in the last two weeks.
Swiatek's big day on the grass court surface turned out to be a historic one for the Polish women's tennis player, who took social media by storm this past week with her favorite meal: strawberries and pasta. The 24-year-old, who has now won six Grand Slam majors, won her first Wimbledon title in timely record fashion: seventh-fastest of the Open era, at 57 minutes.
That wasn't the only history made by Swiatek. Her double bagel win over Anisimova also marked just the second ever such score for a women's singles final at Wimbledon — and the first since 1911. It was also the first double bagel in a Grand Slam women's singles final since the 1988 French Open.
As noted by ESPN, Swiatek became just the eighth woman tennis player, and the only active WTA player, to win major titles on all three surfaces. She won her first Grand Slam major title on the clay court surface at the French Open in 2020, while winning her first title on the hard court surface at the US Open in 2022.
Here's what you on Swiatek's Wimbledon championship:

How fast was 2025 Wimbledon women's singles final?
Swiatek needed just 57 minutes to beat Anisimova in the women's singles finals at the 2025 Wimbledon Championships for her first Wimbledon title.
"Honestly, I didn't even dream (of this) because for me it was just way too far," Swiatek said post-match on the court of winning Wimbledon. "I feel like I'm already an experienced player, after winning Slams before, but I never really expected this one."
