Recap Iga Świątek’s historic victory over Amanda Anisimova, who was unable to win a single game in the women’s singles final
Iga Swiatek shut out Amanda Anisimova in the Wimbledon women's final Saturday in a match that lasted just under an hour. Swiatek won in consecutive sets, 6-0, 6-0. It was the first women's final at the tournament in 114 years in which one player failed to claim a single game.
The posts were shared days after Anisimova reached her first Grand Slam final following an upset win over top seed Aryna Sabalenka in the semis.
The American's crushing defeat to Iga Świątek was rendered more painful by the way tennis works, but it also allows her to rebound.
It was billed as the Wimbledon women’s final that no one expected, it finished as a match that American rising star Amanda Anisimova will want to forget.
Anisimova was born in New Jersey—but relocated to Florida with her family as a child in order to boost her tennis career.
