Wimbledon 2025, the queen is Świątek: a dream final, between absolute dominance and Kate's return

London, July 12, 2025 - As the sun filters shyly through the clouds above Centre Court, and the buzz of Wimbledon becomes almost religious, Iga Świątek enters the court with a determined stride. Facing her is Amanda Anisimova, surprise of the tournament, in her first Slam final. Few, however, could have imagined how quickly that dream would turn into a sporting nightmare: in just 57 minutes, the Pole won her first title on London's grass, signing one of the shortest and most surprising finals of the modern era.

The scoreboard is merciless: 6-0, 6-0. Two perfect sets. A so-called "double bagel" not seen in over a century, since Dorothea Douglass Lambert Chambers triumphed with the same score in 1911. But this is not just a statistic: it is the brutal summary of an absolute domination, of a match that confirmed Świątek as the true queen of world tennis.

The final: the triumph of perfection

Iga leaves no room for imagination. From the first point, she imposes her rhythm, precise as a metronome, pounding like a symphony in crescendo. The audience, between amazement and admiration, watches a match that is more dance than battle: no game conceded, no hesitation. Anisimova tries to struggle, but her accelerations never find the right opening.

The finale becomes, in fact, a monologue. Still, there is no shortage of pathos: in Amanda's eyes one can read the frustration, but also the knowledge that she was a spectator-and a protagonist-of a historic moment. For Iga, however, it is the achievement that was missing: after four Roland Garros and one US Open, Wimbledon was the last peak to climb.

A return that excites: Kate Middleton at the awards ceremony

Making everything even more poignant is the presence of the Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, back in public after difficult months. Elegant, smiling but visibly emotional, she is the one to present the trophy to Iga Świątek, enshrining not only a sporting victory, but an institutional moment of grace. The gesture with which she hugged Amanda, whispering to her, "You must be so proud," moved the audience and went around the world.

Centre Court, already loaded with meaning, was transformed into a stage of emotions and symbols. Kate's return, Iga's ultimate rise, Amanda's resilience: perfect ingredients for a finale that will remain etched in the collective memory of tennis.

July 12, 2025 was not just a final. It was a perfect tale, with a strong and bright protagonist, a courageous opponent, and a royal figure who gave the moment an extra touch. Iga Świątek didn't just win: he left his mark on tennis history, carving his name on the sport's most sacred grass.

Wimbledon, once again, was able to tell more than just a match. It told of the greatness, courage and beauty of sport at its highest level.
