Iga Swiatek has won the women’s singles Wimbledon title with an utterly dominant display over Amanda Anisimova.
The Polish player won 6-0, 6-0 over American Anisimova – taking the first set in just 25 minutes.
It is 24-year-old Swiatek’s fifth Grand Slam title having previously won four French Opens and one US Open title.
It is the ninth year in a row that a different woman has lifted the Venus Rosewater Dish, and for the eighth consecutive year, the champion has never held the trophy before.
Swiatek was presented with the Wimbledon trophy by the Princess of Wales.
Earlier in the day British duo Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool made hitory by winning the men’s doubles title.
The players are the first all-British pairing to win the title since Pat Hughes and Raymond Tuckey lifted the trophy in 1936.
