Six major finals, six major titles\u00a0\u2014 Iga Swiatek<\/a> once again proved herself the woman for the big occasion in London on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The number eight seed produced a 6-0, 6-0 win over American,\u00a0Amanda Anisimova.\u00a0It is the first time a woman has won a final at Wimbledon<\/a> without dropping a game, a feat known as a double bagel,\u00a0since 1911.<\/p>\n

And Swiatek, 24, is just the second player in the Open era (1968) to win a major title without losing a game in the final after Germany’s Steffi Graf beat Natalia Zvereva at the 1988 French Open.<\/p>\n

The Polish player, ranked number 4 in the world, has long been regarded as a clay court specialist but looked completely at home<\/a> on the grass courts of Wimbledon.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Swiatek enjoys ‘surreal’ win<\/p>\n

“It seems super surreal,” said Swiatek, who is the first Wimbledon singles champion from Poland in the Open era.<\/p>\n

“I didn’t even dream, for me it was way too far. I feel like I am already an experienced player after winning the Slams before but I never expected this one.<\/p>\n

“This year I really, really enjoyed it and feel I improved my form here. I am always going to remember the opening of champagne bottles between serves. It is a sound that will keep me awake at night.”<\/p>\n

Anisimova was expected to prove a tough test after beating\u00a0world number one Aryna Sabalenka in the semifinals but failed to recover from a nervy start in her first grand slam final.<\/p>\n

“I know I didn’t have enough today, but I’m going to keep putting in the work,” an emotional Anisimova said postmatch. “And I always believe in myself, so I hope to be back here one day.”<\/p>\n

The top two seeds, Italy’s Jannik Sinner and Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz face off in the men’s singles final on Sunday.<\/p>\n
