The straight-sets win by the Polish superstar Iga Świątek over America’s Amanda Anisimova is an outlier, not the norm.

Kate, the Princess of Wales, handed out the trophy to Iga Swiatek and some consoling words to Amanda Anisimova after the women’s Wimbledon final.

Anisimova is seeking her first career Grand Slam and is to finally break through as one of the top players in the sport, after several years of nearly achieving greatness. In the semifinals, the American defeated Aryna Sabalenka, the world number one-ranked female tennis player, in three sets, 6-4, 4-6, and 6-4.

Amanda Anisimova found herself making history at Wimbledon 2025 following her Ladies' Singles Final match against number eight seed, Iga Swiatek— but not for the reason she had hoped.

Amanda Anisimova had the best Grand Slam finish of her career at The Wimbledon Championships, and though she fell short to Iga Świątek in the final, the American tennis star is taking away some unmatched memories and lessons for her next major of the season.
