Flipping through Wimbledon’s history, you’ll find only one 6-0, 6-0 scoreline in a women’s singles final. That came way back in 1911, when Dorothea Lambert Chambers blanked Dora Boothby. Over a century later, Centre Court witnessed a similarly brutal display. This time, it was Iga Swiatek running the bakery, and Amanda Anisimova was the one getting served. So was this the shortest Wimbledon finals? Let’s find out!
Iga Swiatek stormed through the opening set in just 25 minutes, breaking Amanda Anisimova three times as the American struggled to find her footing in her first-ever Grand Slam final. And, in just 57 minutes, the Pole wrapped up an astonishing double bagel triumph to claim the title for the first time. The 6-0, 6-0 result marked the first time in the Open Era that a woman lost a Wimbledon final without winning a single game. It wasn’t just dominant, it was historic.
For perspective, the shortest women’s final at Wimbledon was in 1922 when Suzanne Lenglen dismissed Molla Mallory 6-2, 6-0 in just 23 minutes. Lenglen took control early, gave up only two games, and dazzled the crowd with swinging forehands and backhand winners. In the Open Era, Martina Navratilova holds the record for the quickest Wimbledon final. In 1983, the 18-time Grand Slam champion crushed Andrea Jaeger 6-0, 6-3 in 54 minutes.
Swiatek joins elite company as only the second woman in the Open Era to win a Grand Slam final with a double bagel, matching Steffi Graf’s 6-0, 6-0 demolition of Natasha Zvereva at the 1988 French Open.
