Wimbledon champion fires back at critics

Iga Swiatek pleaded with the Polish media to "leave me alone", saying she knows what she is doing after crushing Amanda Anisimova 6-0, 6-0 to win her first Wimbledon title on Saturday.

The 24-year-old was seeded eighth at the All England Club after a disappointing first half of the season, though she is fourth in the rankings after a run to the Bad Homburg final two weeks ago.

Swiatek was asked at her post-match news conference whether winning Wimbledon so convincingly was a fitting riposte to those who have criticized her over her performances.
