Iga Swiatek bulldozed her way to a maiden Wimbledon title on Saturday to take her Grand Slam tally to six and although the Pole preferred not to rank her wins, she said her latest one felt a little more special than the others.
Fritz and Mpetshi Perricard’s match, by contrast, was at the mercy of the most sacred and strange tradition of them all: the 11 p.m. curfew imposed on a sporting event beamed across the globe. Wimbledon is the only Grand Slam with an early bedtime, and the lights go out on time, every time, with no exceptions — almost.
Iga Swiatek captured her sixth Grand Slam title at the Wimbledon Championships this year. She outclassed Amanda Anisimova in the finals, 6-0, 6-0.
Anisimova, 23, will return to Centre Court for Saturday's final against No. 8 Iga Światek, who steamrolled Belinda Bencic, 6-2, 6-0. Anisimova is trying to become the first American to win a Grand Slam in London since Serena Williams' seventh and final Wimbledon title in 2016.
THE ALL ENGLAND CLUB, LONDON — There are only two players who have been able to knock Ben Shelton out of Grand Slams this year: Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner. That’s good news and bad for Shelton, who exited Wimbledon in the quarterfinals Wednesday afternoon as Sinner sent him home, 7-6 (2), 6-4, 6-4.
Świątek's 6-0, 6-0 victory over Anisimova gave the tennis world its first double bagel in a women's Grand Slam final since Steffi Graf won the 1988 French Open with the same score, per The Athletic. That is an absolutely stunning achievement for Świątek, who will add to her undefeated Grand Slam streak.
