The eighth-seeded Swiatek, 24, showed no mercy on Centre Court, dismantling the 13th-seeded Anisimova in just 57 minutes. With this win, she becomes the eighth consecutive first-time Wimbledon women’s champion, following Serena Williams’ last triumph at the All England Club in 2016.
Swiatek’s path to the Wimbledon 2025 final was marked by consistency and precision. She lost only one set throughout the tournament, building on her strong showing at the grass-court event in Bad Homburg two weeks earlier.
Anisimova, who shocked world number one Aryna Sabalenka in the semi-finals, struggled to find her rhythm in the final. Nerves got the better of her early on as Swiatek broke immediately and stormed to a 2-0 lead.
“She was broken in the first game, soon slipping 2-0 behind, and the signs looked ominous.”
Swiatek continued her relentless pace, breaking again after a double fault from Anisimova and eventually sealing the first set 6-0 in just 25 minutes. The American won only six points on her serve and committed 14 unforced errors in the set.
“An increasingly desperate Anisimova could not stem the tide in the second set…”
The second set followed a similar script. Anisimova double-faulted in the third game, and despite vocal support from the crowd, Swiatek never relented. She closed out the match with clinical precision, celebrating her maiden Wimbledon championship before offering a heartfelt consolation to her opponent.

The victory cements Swiatek’s legacy as one of the most complete players on the WTA tour, having now won majors on clay, hard, and grass courts.
