The American No. 13 seed did not shrink from her duel with Sabalenka on Centre Court, going after her shots at all times.

It’s safe to say nobody predicted this line-up for the 2025 Wimbledon final: Iga Swiatek is the queen of clay, a four-time champion of Roland Garros who had never got to grips with grass, until now; Amanda Anisimova is the American prodigy who took a break from the sport aged only 21 to protect her mental health.

Sports fans were hoping to see an electric Wimbledon final between Amanda Anisimova and Iga Swiatek. Instead, they watched one of the worst matches in recent memory. Anisimova won a lot of people over during her run at Wimbledon because of her incredible play and inspiring story.
