6: 0, 6: 0: Swiatek with tennis history in Wimbledon title
The women’s finals at the classic lawn is a historically one-sided thing. Iga Swiatek triumphs and does not give her opponent to a game. That was the first in Wimbledon.
Iga Swiadek dropped incredulously on the lawn of the Center Courts and celebrated her historic Wimbledon triumph. However, her overwhelmed opponent was bitter at the award ceremony. The Polish Swiatek won its first title at the lawn classic and wrote tennis history. In a completely one-sided final over only 57 minutes, the 24-year-old beat the American Amanda Anisimova 6-0, 6: 0.
With this result, a women’s final was only ended in the long Wimbledon story: in 1911 the British Dorothea also won 6: 0, 6: 0. Most recently, Steffi Graf had not given a game at the French Open in 1988 in a Grand Slam final.
Sixth Grand Slam title for Swiatek
Swiatek gratefully accepted Princess Kate’s trophy and listened to the congratulations of the patron of the tournament. “This is super surreal,” said Swiatek and was aimed at Anisimova. “No matter what happened today. You can be proud of your work. I hope we will play many finals against each other.”
For Swiatek it is already the sixth Grand Slam title of your career. She is the only player in profit tennis history alongside Margaret Court and Monica Seles, who won her first six Grand Slam finals. In addition to the title, Swiatek also wins 3.47 million euros (3 million British pounds).
Anisimova is rebuilt by the audience
The 23 -year -old Anisimova was completely overwhelmed at one of the four big tournaments in her first final and made numerous simple mistakes. She started crying at the award ceremony and was built up by the audience with long applause. “You are such an incredible player, you are such a great inspiration for me,” said Anisimova with tears to Swiadek. She had only taken months of break due to a burnout two years ago.
The princess of Wales was the patron of the tournament in the first row of the Royal Box on the grandstand and saw a tennis demonstration. Anisimova started nervously and tense in her first Grand Slam final, the load of the big stage was visible to her. With her experience from five Grand Slam finals, on the other hand, Swiatek acted confidently, attacked the American’s serve early and immediately got the break.
The third game was at least on debut, but Anisimova made mistakes over mistakes. In the complete set of opening, which only lasted 25 minutes, Anisimova only got nine points. In 1983 the first sentence in a women’s final in Wimbledon ended 6-0 – the then winner Martina Navratilova followed the match from the grandstand.
Swiatek without mercy also in the second set
And Swiatek didn’t give up. In the second set, too, she was quickly 2-0 in front, after a ball anisimova looked completely desperate and seemed close to tears. Each rearing up the outsider immediately suffocated the Polish and did not give up any game in the second round.
In her career, Swiatek had previously won the French Open and the US Open four times. So far, however, in Wimbledon had ended in the quarter -finals at the latest, and it rarely caught on lawn until this season. Now she presented herself in a strong form, recently she was in the final at the preparation tournament in Bad Homburg. Now she has been the youngest player since Serena Williams 2002, who wins a Grand Slam title on all three toppings.
