Poland’s Iga Swiatek demonstrated her dominant best in the Wimbledon 2025 final to defeat USA’s Amanda Anisimova in straight sets. A scoreline of 6-0, 6-0 is rare in a Wimbledon final, and it occurred after 114 years. Dorothea Lambert Chambers was the sole owner of the emphatic scoreline. She recorded the score back in 1911 in the victory against Dora Boothby. What a way, therefore, for Swiatek to attain her maiden Wimbledon championship. This is her sixth Grand Slam title win overall.
