Iga Swiatek makes wimbledon history with flawless final victory, takes home £2.7M
Swiatek stuns Wimbledon with historic 6-0, 6-0 final
In a sport where margins are razor-thin and finals are often battles of attrition, Iga Swiatek delivered a performance so dominant, so precise, and so historically rare that it has left the tennis world in awe. On Saturday, the Polish star not only captured her first Wimbledon title, but did so in a fashion unseen in over a century, without dropping a single game. Her 6-0, 6-0 demolition in the 2025 women’s singles final isn’t just a win, it’s a warning shot to the rest of the tennis world: Swiatek is not just at the top; she’s redefining it.
First 6-0, 6-0 in Wimbledon Final Since 1914
Swiatek’s straight-sets victory isn’t just another win, it’s a historic benchmark. The last time a women’s singles final ended with a 6-0, 6-0 scoreline was in 1914, when Dorothea Lambert Chambers achieved the feat. Over 100 years later, Swiatek has repeated the impossible on the world’s most prestigious grass court.
Swiatek, already a four-time Grand Slam winner before Wimbledon 2025, demonstrated absolute control, precision, and mental strength as she dismantled her rival in just under an hour. Her performance showed no mercy, giving her opponent no chance to recover or even gain a foothold in the match. From powerful serves to razor-sharp returns, Swiatek was clinical from the first point to the last.
Swiatek’s Reaction: “It Feels Unreal”
In her post-match interview, an emotional Swiatek acknowledged the magnitude of her accomplishment.
“It feels unreal. Wimbledon has always been the toughest surface for me, but this time I felt in control. I stayed aggressive, and it paid off,” she said.
Swiatek’s evolution on grass, previously seen as her weakest surface, reflects her commitment to growth and adaptability. Her 2025 title is her first Wimbledon crown and fifth Grand Slam overall, showing her complete surface mastery across clay, hard, and now grass courts.
Wimbledon 2025 Prize Money: Swiatek Takes Home £2.7 Million
In addition to etching her name in the history books, Iga Swiatek earned a £2.7 million prize for her victory, part of Wimbledon’s record-setting £50 million total prize pool for 2025.
The equal prize payout for both men’s and women’s champions highlights Wimbledon’s commitment to parity, and Swiatek’s historic win couldn’t have come on a more symbolic stage. Her opponent, despite the crushing loss, received £1.4 million as the runner-up.
