Wimbledon

No. 8 Iga Swiatek dominated the women’s Wimbledon final on Saturday, defeating No. 13 Amanda Anisimova 6-0, 6-0 to win her sixth Grand Slam title in only 57 minutes.

Swiatek, 24, became the first woman since 1911 to win the Wimbledon final without losing a single game.

After upsetting Aryna Sabalenka — the top-ranked player in the world — Anisimova could not find her footing Saturday. She made 28 unforced errors in the loss, and won only 24 points compared to Swiatek’s 55.

“It’s been an incredible fortnight for me, even though I ran out of gas a bit today,” Anisimova said during an on-court interview after the match.

While Swiatek has been dominant on clay in her career (winning the French Open four times), she had not made it further than the quarterfinals of Wimbledon prior to this year. Swiatek’s Wimbledon title is her first Grand Slam win outside of Roland Garros since she won the U.S. Open in 2022.

Entering the tournament ranked fourth in the WTA, Swiatek finished her Wimbledon run in dominant fashion.

She did not lose a single game in her last three sets, and dropped only two games overall in her final two matches of the tournament. Swiatek lost only one set during the entire fortnight.

Swiatek has now won every Grand Slam except the Australian Open.

“Honestly, I didn’t even dream (of this), because for me, it was just, like, way too far, you know?” Swiatek said. “I feel like I’m already an experienced player after winning the Slams before, but I never really expected this one.”

American history on the line if Anisimova wins

If Anisimova wins today, she will become the third American woman to win a Grand Slam this year, after Madison Keys won the Australian Open and Coco Gauff won the French.

Anisimova, at 23, is the youngest American woman to make the Wimbledon final since Serena Williams in 2004. (Williams, then 22, lost to Maria Sharapova.)

Swiatek isn’t only good on clay

The Associated Press

More comfortable on grass courts than ever, Iga Swiatek played as well as she ever has on the slick surface — well, better than ever, actually — to reach her first Wimbledon final by defeating Belinda Bencic 6-2, 6-0 at Centre Court on Thursday.

“I never even dreamt that it’s going to be possible for me to play in the final,” said Swiatek, who has won five Grand Slam titles elsewhere and spent most of 2022, 2023 and 2024 at No. 1 in the WTA rankings.

Good as she is on clay courts, especially, and hard courts, too, Swiatek only once had been as far as the quarterfinals at Wimbledon until this week.

“I’m just super excited and just proud of myself,” the 24-year-old from Poland said after wrapping up the victory over Bencic in just 71 minutes. “Tennis keeps surprising me. I thought I lived through everything, even though I’m young. I thought I experienced everything on the court. But I didn’t experience playing well on grass. That’s the first time.”

Princess of Wales to attend women’s singles final

A big tennis fan, Kate, 42, has been a fixture in the Royal Box for many years, often attending with her husband, Prince William, and other members of the royal family.

Last year, she attended the men’s final between Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz.

Swiatek dominated semis with straight set victory

How to bet Anisimova vs. Swiatek

NBC Sports

NBC Sports’ Drew Dinsick gives his favorite plays for the Iga Swiatek vs. Amanda Anisimova match in the Wimbledon women’s final, evaluating the options with Swiatek as a favorite.

Amanda Anisimova’s path to Wimbledon finalist

Amanda Anisimova, the 12th-ranked women’s tennis player in the world, advanced to the Wimbledon final by shocking top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka in the semifinals Thursday. If she defeats No. 8 Iga Swiatek on Saturday, she’ll capture her first Grand Slam title.

The accomplishment is even more improbable knowing Anisimova temporarily left the sport to focus on her mental health just two years ago.

“I’ve really been struggling with my mental health and burnout since the summer of 2022,” Anisimova wrote on social media on May 5, 2023. “It’s become unbearable being at tennis tournaments. At this point, my priority is my mental well-being and taking a break for some time. I’ve worked as hard as I could to push through it. I will miss being out there, and I appreciate all the continuous support.”

Anisimova returned to competitive play at the Auckland Open in January 2024 and has been slowly but surely climbing back up the ranks since.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – The fourth-seeded Indiana volleyball team (25-7, 14-6 B1G) will play in the Sweet 16 for just the second time in program history. The NCAA announced start times and dates for next week’s regional semifinals on Sunday (Dec. 7) afternoon. The Hoosiers will play top-seeded Texas at Gregory Gymnasium on Friday (Dec. 12) afternoon at Noon ET on ESPN.

 

Following the greatest regular season in program history, IU was awarded a top-16 national seed and the chance to host the opening two rounds of the NCAA Tournament. The Hoosiers made quick work of their first two matchups, sweeping Toledo and fifth-seeded Colorado in Bloomington to advance to the Sweet 16.

 

IU is one of five Big Ten programs remaining in the NCAA Tournament. Of the 16 schools left in the big dance, IU is one of two teams (Cal Poly) that didn’t make the big dance last year. The Hoosiers have already set a single-season program record for wins (25) and will attempt to advance to the regional final for the first time in program history.

 

The other matchup in the Austin Regional will pit second-seeded Stanford and third-seeded Wisconsin against each other. Their match will begin 30 minutes after the conclusion of IU’s. The winners of both regional semifinals will meet on Sunday (Dec. 14) afternoon for a spot in the national semifinals in Kansas City.
