Right, that’s it from us for today – and from me for this Wimbledon.Many thanks for your company this fortnight, it’s been a blast as always.Do join Daniel tomorrow for coverage of Jannik Sinner v Carlos Alcaraz – after their nearly neverending French Open final last month, we can be sure it won’t be as rapid as today’s Wimbledon whitewash.Bye!Here’s Tumaini’s match report:Amanda Anisimova arrived in her first grand slam final in some of the best form of her career, but she fell apart under pressure in front of one of the greatest big-match players the sport has ever seen as Iga Swiatek inflicted a historic 6-0, 6-0 victory in 57 minutes to claim her long-awaited first Wimbledon title.This is the first time in the open era that the Wimbledon title has been won with a double bagel.

The last 6-0, 6-0 result came in 1911, when the sport barely resembled its current modern form, with Dorothea Lambert Chambers’s dominant win over Dora Boothby in the challenge match era, when the defending champion played just once.Two days after playing an incredible match to topple the world No 1, Aryna Sabalenka, holding her nerve in so many of the tightest moments, Anisimova simply could not handle the pressure.She had the even greater misfortune of coming up against the one opponent who would never allow her a path back in after her early difficulties in the match.Swiatek has now won each of her first six grand slam finals, a reflection of her remarkable mental toughness and her readiness to produce her best tennis in the biggest moments.Only Margaret Court and Monica Seles have achieved this feat before her in the Open era.

For so long, grass courts were considered Swiatek’s one weakness,The ball’s low bounce, many believed, was too disruptive to her heavy topspin forehand, her movement was too uncertain and there would always be an opponent capable of blasting her off the court,Sometimes she believed this, too,At the end of a tremendous fortnight on her least successful surface, Swiatek has proven that a player with her rare talent, discipline and sheer force of will has no limitations to her potential,The victory marks Swiatek’s sixth grand slam title, which breaks her tie with Martina Hingis and Maria Sharapova.

The last female player to reach this milestone was Venus Williams in 2007.Alongside her four French Open triumphs and her victory at the US Open in 2022, Swiatek has now won major titles on all three playing surfaces.Only the Australian Open stands between her and a career grand slam.You can read the rest here.The new #Wimbledon champion soaking in every single moment 🥹 pic.

twitter.com/rV419BKHyHSwiatek has left the court, having probably stuffed every one of her towels into her bag as a mementos.She poses for photos, holding the trophy in front of the list of champions past and now present, before chatting to the Princess of Wales and stepping out on the balcony to show off her trophy.She’s jumping up and down, stirring up the crowd; what a release of emotion.She’s played with such freedom and joy this fortnight and her celebrations are no different; it’s been lovely to see her personality come out.

But now she has to hand over the trophy, at least until tomorrow’s Wimbledon ball.I wonder if they’ll have strawberries and pasta on the menu in tribute to the new champion.Swiatek’s name has already been inscribed on to the board of champions: that’s Wimbledon efficiency for you.And for the ninth successive championships, we have a different women’s winner.With her sixth grand slam title, she’s now won majors on all three surfaces, the youngest woman to do so since Serena Williams.

And she’s finally figured out the riddle of grass.There’s a parallel with Andre Agassi; he never thought grass was for him until he cracked it in 1992.And perhaps even with Rafa Nadal, who of course took a while to get going at Wimbledon despite being a multiple French Open champion.Credit to Anisimova, who showed some guts there to speak to the crowd.It had echoes of Jana Novotna, when she cried on the Duchess of Kent’s shoulders after being beaten by Steffi Graff in the 1993 final.

And let’s not forget Novotna came back to win Wimbledon five years later.Hopefully this is the start for Anisimova too.She did so well to stun Sabalenka in the semi-finals; perhaps she just didn’t have anything left to take it to Swiatek today.Having dreamed of reaching a grand slam final for most of her life, it was all over in less than an hour.She’ll probably be having nightmares tonight – if she manages to get any sleep, that is – but hopefully over time she’ll be able to remember the rest of the fortnight and not just this record destruction.

And having reached the final only a year after her mental health break from tennis, she offers us all an important reminder that seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness.She’s got a good team around her who’ll help her get over this too.Now it’s Swiatek’s turn to speak, the first Polish winner of a Wimbledon singles title.She starts by addressing Anisimova: “It doesn’t matter what happened today, you should be proud of what you’ve done.” Asked what it means to win Wimbledon, she says she never expected to win this title and it hasn’t really sunk in yet.

“I’d never won this title, I was anxious about that [in previous years], but this year I really really enjoyed it and felt so comfortable,It’s amazing and I’m going to enjoy this moment and hopefully you’re going to enjoy the men’s final too,”Anisimova takes a few seconds to compose herself before speaking to Annabel Croft: “Congratulations Iga,Thank you to everyone who’s supported me,It’s been an incredible fortnight for me and even though I ran out of gas today and I wish I could have put in a better performance for you today, you guys still lifted me up, so thank you so much.

” She then thanks her mum who flew in for the match this morning; and then the tears flood out.“She’s put in more work than I have, honestly,” Anisimova says through her tears, before joking that the reason she lost was “definitely not” because her mum turned up for the occasion.Trophy time.Anisimova trudges up to collect her runners-up plate and just about manages to hold it together.And here comes our new champion, as Swiatek is presented with the Venus Rosewater Dish for the first time by the Princess of Wales.

Wonderful scenes for Swiatek; but, jeez, this is so hard for Anisimova.“A real shame for Anisimova, and in another way the fans in Centre Court and at home too,” emails Simon McMahon.“Hope it doesn’t affect her long term.She’s in the Wimbledon final for goodness sake, which is more than 99.9999% of tennis players will ever even come close to achieving.

Godspeed.”Swiatek is up in the player’s box, hugging her father and sister.She seems to be the only one in the house not in an absolute state of shock.Anisimova has hurried off court, but soon returns to a standing ovation.She’s crying.

I’m crying for her too,Man, sport can be so cruel sometimes,This scoreline is all the more staggering given that only 48 hours ago, Anisimova was staring down the world No 1 in the semi-finals on this very court,But this has been one of the all-time final beatdowns,Given Swiatek’s dominance this afternoon, it’s easy to forget she hasn’t won a title since the French Open last year.

This has been a supreme display from a player who’d never previously been comfortable on grass.And Swiatek brings up two championship points at 40-15.Can Anisimova at least stretch this match to an hour? Swiatek blinks on the first championship point, a rare long rally plays out on the second, and Swiatek strikes a winner that lands bang on the line! Swiatek is a Wimbledon champion for the first time, turning her crisis of the past year into one of her crowning moments! Swiatek has salvation after her annus horribilis; for a shell-shocked Anisimova this is as horrible as it gets.Swiatek breaks: Anisimova 0-6, 0-5 Swiatek* (*denotes next server)Flicking through the history books, there’s been only one 6-0, 6-0 women’s singles final scoreline at Wimbledon, when Dorothea Lambert Chambers thumped Dora Boothby in 1911.Anisimova will be desperate to avoid taking such a dubious place in history, but it’s a similar story on her serve as she falls 0-30 behind.

Her mother has got her face in her hands.Swiatek, meanwhile, is prowling on the baseline ready to receive and go in for the kill.At 15-40, Swiatek flicks a backhand pass beyond a stranded Anisimova and Swiatek will serve for a Wimbledon final whitewash.This has been the most uncomfortable of watches; a crushed Anisimova is trying to hold back the tears at the changeover.But as brutal as it’s been for her, it’s been absolutely brilliant from Swiatek.

Second set: Anisimova* 0-6, 0-4 Swiatek (*denotes next server)“With Anisimova being the player listed first, the “0 0” on her part of the scoreboard looks like a visual depiction of the eyes of a rabbit being caught in the headlights.Which feels all too appropriate,” sighs David Howell.Meanwhile BJK and the Princess of Wales are having a little chat in the Royal Box; perhaps they’re trying to come up with a gameplan for Anisimova.They should send it down swiftly, though, because Swiatek is a point away from her 10th consecutive game at 40-30.This time Anisimova has Swiatek reeling with a punchy return … and then Anisimova swats a winner to the open court! Deuce.

But it’s another American horror story from there as Swiatek holds.Swiatek breaks: Anisimova 0-6, 0-3 Swiatek* (*denotes next server)The Centre Court crowd are in raptures when Anisimova claws herself back to 30-all on serve.If she can get a first game on the board, perhaps it’ll sow a little seed of doubt in Swiatek’s mind.But it’s a very small perhaps.Anisimova is swiping her racket in the air when she gives away a break point from deuce; Swiatek is striding to the other side of the court ready to receive.

Just like Graf, she’s hurrying around as if there’s no tomorrow.Swiatek doesn’t secure the first break point but soon, predictably, has a second, and Anisimova bashes a backhand into the net.Her best shot, which is usually such a brutal weapon, just hasn’t got going today.Much like the rest of her game.Second set: Anisimova* 0-6, 0-2 Swiatek (*denotes next server)Swiatek stirs memories of Rafa with her vicious spin, Roger with her footwork and Steffi in her efficiency, as she glides 30-0 ahead.

She briefly errs with a first double fault, but that doesn’t distract her, as from 30-all she holds, after smartly changing up her serve.She’s thinking so clearly out there; while Anisimova’s mind is totally scrambled.And speaking of Steffi, the fastest victory in a grand slam final was sealed by Graf at the 1988 French Open, when she double-bageled Natasha Zvereva in just 34 minutes.We’ve been going 37 minutes here, so that’s one record Swiatek can’t claim.I wonder how many slam finals have actually ended 6-0, 6-0 though?Swiatek breaks: Anisimova 0-6, 0-1 Swiatek* (*denotes next server)The second set starts in a similar vein, as Anisimova slumps 0-30 down on serve.

But she wins just her tenth and 11th points of the match to scramble back to 30-all,“Chris Evert lost the first set 6-0 in a Wimbledon final to Billie Jean King,” Sam Smith offers up on the BBC commentary, in a way that suggests there’s some hope for Anisimova,But no, Smith then recalls that BJK went on to win in straight sets,And you know what happens here, right? Anisimova, with her first-serve percentage down at 35%, concedes yet another break,She still hasn’t got a game on the board.

“Before the match I felt nearly neutral about whom I wanted to win, but now I realize that all I want is a close match, no matter who emerges victorious,” emails Cynthia Meredith.“For the sake of Amanda and the Wimbledon crowd, I dearly hope that Iga cools off.”And this from Tomasz Rykala: “Anisimova’s demeanour resembles Djokovic’s yesterday.It’s like she’s thrown in the towel already.Shame for her but, as a Pole myself, I have to be happy for Swiatek.

”And David Howell: “I don’t see how Swiatek loses games, let alone sets, given how settled her opponent isn’t.This could be over very, very quickly indeed.”Swiatek is serving for the first set after 22 minutes.It feels as if it’s been about five.15-0, 30-0.

Then 40-0, after the point of the match: the pair engage in some tete-a-tete at the net, Anisimova hits it right at Swiatek (that’s one way to stop her), but Swiatek still finds a way to win the point.And the next.Swiatek’s bagel bakery is open on Centre Court.This may be grass, but the Pole’s playing like peak Swiatek on clay.And just how does Anisimova recover?Swiatek breaks: Anisimova 0-5 Swiatek* (*denotes next server)A third double fault from Anisimova on the opening point
