Dominant Swiatek cruises to maiden Wimbledon crown

Pole forces first shutout in 114 years at an All England Club women's final

LONDON — For years, Iga Swiatek never quite felt comfortable on Wimbledon's grass courts, and never thought she could add a trophy there to her other Grand Slam triumphs. Boy, did that turn out to be wrong — and by some distance.

Not only is Swiatek now a champion at the All England Club, she became one with a historic victory over Amanda Anisimova on Saturday — finishing 6-0, 6-0, it was the first women's final at the tournament in 114 years in which a player failed to claim a single game.

"It seems," said Swiatek, who is now also 6-0 in major title matches, "super surreal."
