Iga Swiatek Achieves Historic Feats Not Seen Since Serena Williams With Wimbledon Win

Iga Swiatek waves to the Wimbledon crowd after winning the 2025 title. | Wimbledon/Screengrab

Iga Swiatek's Wimbledon win was historic in many ways. For starters, it was just the second time in the Open Era in which a woman has won 6-0, 6-0 in a major final.

Swiatek's name is now listed next to Serena Williams in multiple historic ways, too. With the major win on grass, Swiatek is now the youngest player since Williams to win a major on all surfaces (four French Open titles and one U.S. Open title). Williams achieved this feat by the time she was 20 when she won Wimbledon in 2002. Swiatek is 24.
