Eighth-seeded Iga Swiatek of Poland dominated No. 13 Amanda Anisimova 6-0, 6-0 to win her first Wimbledon championship on Saturday in London.
It is the sixth Grand Slam singles title for Swiatek, 24, and her first tournament victory since Roland Garros in 2024. She has never lost a Grand Slam final.
The lopsided result was the first "double bagel" in a major final since Steffi Graff routed Natasha Zvereva 6-0, 6-0 to win the 1988 French Open.
Anisimova, 23, was appearing in her first major final.
Anisimova committed five double faults and finished with only eight winners and 28 unforced errors.
Swiatek never faced a break point in the 54-minute triumph to become Poland's first Wimbledon singles champion. She converted six of nine break chances and finished with 10 winners and 11 unforced errors.
