Iga Swiatek has won her first Wimbledon championship with a 6-0, 6-0 victory over Amanda Anisimova in the final.
Iga Swiatek took another stride towards tennis greatness by ruthlessly tearing apart American 13th seed Amanda Anisimova 6-0 6-0 and lifting her first Wimbledon trophy on Saturday.The big occasion turned into a nightmare for Anisimova who became the first woman to lose a Wimbledon final by that painful scoreline since 1911 and the first to do so at any major since Steffi Graf routed Natasha Zvereva at the 1988 French Open.
Anisimova is 23 years old and stands 5-foot-11. She was born in 2001 to Russian parents Olga and Konstantin. Her parents moved to the United States in 1998, before Amanda was born in Freehold Township. The family moved to Florida when she was 3. Amanda also has an older sister named Maria, who played tennis at the University of Pennsylvania.
