To finally win here at Wimbledon is a dream come true.” She further acknowledged the difficulty of the surface, noting, “You really have to be smart and patient on grass. It’s not just about hitting the ball hard; it’s about finding the right angles and using the bounce to your advantage.”
Anisimova, despite the defeat, demonstrated remarkable sportsmanship and grace. “Iga played an amazing match,” she conceded. “She was just too good today. I gave it everything I had, but it wasn’t enough.” Her performance throughout the tournament had already been impressive, signaling her continued growth as a formidable competitor.
Swiatek's triumph at Wimbledon further solidifies her position as the world number one and adds another prestigious title to her collection. It's a testament to her dedication, hard work, and the exceptional coaching team that supports her.
