History suggests that once Iga Swiatek secures a break of serve against her opponent, a commanding victory typically follows.
This pattern held true in Saturday’s Wimbledon final, where she clinched her first Wimbledon title with a dominant 6-0, 6-0 victory over Amanda Anisimova in just 57 minutes.
While the result was undoubtedly tough on the American player, she joins a list of competitors who have experienced similar outcomes against Swiatek.
In 2021, Swiatek defeated former world number one Karolina Pliskova with the same scoreline in the Italian Open final.
This year alone, Swiatek has handed out a 6-0 set to 12 players, including Dayana Yastremska (twice), Emma Raducanu, Belinda Bencic, and Victoria Azarenka.
At January’s Australian Open, Swiatek recorded 6-0 sets in three of her initial four matches – and now these same dominant scorelines are appearing on the grass courts.
“Coming here, I could really focus on getting better and developing as a player rather than everybody just asking me to win,” Swiatek of Poland stated.
“I kind of enjoyed that because expectations were a bit lower.”

The rarity of a 6-0, 6-0 scoreline in a final emphasizes Swiatek’s commanding performance.
This marks the first 6-0, 6-0 victory in a Grand Slam final since Steffi Graf’s 34-minute win over Natasha Zvereva at the 1988 French Open.
It is the first time such a scoreline has occurred in a Wimbledon final during the Open era, which signifies the period when tennis turned professional. In 1911, Dorothea Lambert Chambers defeated Dora Boothby by the same scoreline, but this was in the challenge match era, where the defending champion only played once.
Swiatek also joins the ranks as only the fourth player in the Open era to win the first set of the Wimbledon women’s singles final with a 6-0 scoreline, following Billie Jean King (1973, 1975), Chris Evert (1974), and Martina Navratilova (1983).
Swiatek broke serve to love in the very first game, making it immediately clear that she was in top form, while Anisimova appeared to struggle with nerves.
The eighth-seeded Swiatek did not face a single break point, winning 21 of 29 points on her first serve and five out of eight on her second serve.
This victory extends Swiatek’s impressive record in major finals, where she has won 12 sets and lost only one across her six Slam finals.
Swiatek’s performance was aided by Anisimova’s errors, which were likely influenced by the pressure of competing in her first Grand Slam final.
The American committed 28 unforced errors compared to Swiatek’s 11, and she also recorded five double faults.
Anisimova acknowledged after the match that her serve is an area she can improve.
“I’ve struggled with my serve, as most people probably can tell by the looks of it and the statistics,” she said.
Anisimova recorded 41 double faults over the course of the two weeks at Wimbledon, 17 more than any other player in the women’s singles draw.
Across all players on the WTA Tour, she ranks ninth for the most double faults in 2025, with 149 in 35 matches.
In 1974, American Chris Evert defeated Russian Olga Morozova 6-0, 6-4 to comfortably secure the first of her three Wimbledon titles.
In 1975, American Billie Jean King won her sixth and final Wimbledon singles title, beating Australian Evonne Goolagong Cawley 6-0, 6-1 in just 38 minutes.
In 1983, Martina Navratilova claimed a dominant 6-0, 6-3 victory over fellow American Andrea Jaeger for her fourth title and second consecutive win.
In 1992, Germany’s Steffi Graf defeated Yugoslavian teenager Monica Seles 6-2, 6-1 for the fourth of her seven titles.
In 2014, Czech Petra Kvitova thrashed Canada’s Eugenie Bouchard 6-3, 6-0 in just 55 minutes.
In tennis, a 6-0 scoreline is commonly referred to as a bagel, while a 6-1 win is known as a breadstick.
Swiatek’s frequency of winning sets with these scorelines has led fans to playfully nickname these results “Iga’s bakery” in recent years.
She has won 32 sets with a 6-0 scoreline in Grand Slam matches, including three at Wimbledon this year.
This figure doubles her total from all her previous matches at the Championships, highlighting her improvement on grass.
“I think winning on the grass is proving that she can win on every surface,” former Wimbledon champion Marion Bartoli commented on BBC Radio 5 Live.
“It gives her that new platform in her career because for a very long time she was seen as only a clay-court player.
“She got the US Open title under her belt and now winning at Wimbledon in that kind of fashion adds another extra layer to her resume.”
