July 12 (UPI) -- Iga Swiatek pelted the perennial ryegrass, browned by weeks of tennis tussles, manipulating movements of Amanda Anisimova for a straight-sets demolition of the American on Saturday to capture her first Wimbledon title.
With her dominant performance, Swiatek became just the second women's player in the Open Era -- since 1968 -- to win a Grand Slam 6-0, 6-0. The No. 4 player in the WTA rankings, who is set to move up to No. 3, needed just 57 minutes to dispatch her No. 12 foe.
"Honestly, I didn't even dream of it because for me it was way too far," Swiatek said on the ESPN broadcast. "I feel like I was already an experienced player after winning Grand Slams before, but I never really excepted this one.
"I want to thank my team because I feel like they believed in me more than I did."
