While Świątek celebrated the win, Anisimova walked off the court, maybe just to collect her thoughts.
It’s commonplace for the runner-up to give a post-match interview on court, but you could forgive organizers for breaking that tradition today.
Considering how poorly Anisimova performed in that match, it’s easy to forget how well Iga Świątek played.
The Polish star has created history for herself and you can see how much it meant to her after that match point whistled past the American.
The 24-year-old fell to her back on the grass, before she picked herself up and gave her opponent a massive hug.
The new Wimbledon champion then ran through the crowd to her player’s box where she celebrated with her team.
Real emotion from a true champion.
Iga Świątek has been crowned the women’s singles champion at Wimbledon for the first time with an unprecedented 6-0, 6-0 victory over American Amanda Anisimova.
It is the first time in the Open Era that a women’s player has won the final without giving up a game, and the first time overall since 1911.
Blink and you’ll miss it.
Iga Świątek is now just one game away from winning her first grand slam at Wimbledon.
The Polish sensation has bulldozed her way to a 5-0 lead in the second set and is making light work of her first final in SW19.
Anisimova will be hoping to at least get one game on the board before this final ends.
This has become less about who wins Wimbledon, and more can the American win a game.
It doesn’t look great for her at the moment, though.
The crowd really is pushing her on and going crazy whenever she wins a point and gets the better of a rally.
Problem is, those moments are very few and far between.
We see the best showing so far from the American who forces deuce before losing a long rally.
Świątek double faults to take it back to deuce, but aces and then has too much again for her opponent on the following point.
It’s nothing more than small consolation for Anisimova.
It’s going from bad to worse for Anisimova in this match and it’s her serve letting her down the most.
The American has managed to get just 41% of her first serves in, producing four double faults in the process.
It’s form that simply isn’t good enough for any tennis match at this level, nevermind the Wimbledon final and you can see she knows it.
This would not have been how Amanda Anisimova envisaged her first grand slam final going.
The American is still yet to win a single game in the matchup and now faces a 3-0 deficit and an uphill climb in the second set.
The crowd is starting to will the 23-year-old towards her first game of the match, but their efforts are in vain as things stand.
While Anisimova has struggled with her serve, Świątek has been at her very best to punish her opponent and is dominating with her strong return game.
It’s hard not to feel sorry for Anisimova given how this match is going, but her opponent is looking so assured right now.
Świątek has historically struggled on grass, but is dominating here – her serve reaches 117 mph on the way to another hold. She’s made to work for this one a bit more, with Anisimova tying the score at 30-30 before the Pole takes control again.
This is actually getting quite hard to watch now.
Anisimova had chances to win her first service game there but produced two unforced errors when it really mattered.
She let out two screams during that game, the loudest when her opponent took yet another break point opportunity to take the lead again in this second set.
After losing the opening set 6-0, Anisimova would have been hoping to get on the board as early as possible in the second.
It wasn’t to be, however, for the American who dropped yet another service game.
Świątek’s dominance when attacking Anisimova’s second serve is proving vital as she gets yet another break to fall her way.
This could be over very quickly.
It was a dominant opening set from Świątek, but this is nothing new for the Polish star.
She is unmatched in her ability to sweep aside opponents in brutal fashion, and her habit of winning sets 6-0 — referred to as a “bagel” — and 6-1 — a “breadstick” — has led to jokes from tennis fans about Świątek running a bakery.
Anisimova will be hoping Świątek’s bakery closes early today.
You’ve really got to feel for Anisimova here.
She hasn’t even completed 30 minutes of her first grand slam final and she’s already one set down.
The American walks over to her chair and wraps an ice towel around her neck, while rubbing an ice pack on her face.
She’s certainly feeling the heat in more ways than one here.
We’ve barely even gotten going on Centre Court, and already Świątek has claimed the first set.
Anisimova is having to endure a nightmare start, and this game is no better. She fails to return Świątek’s first two serves, before losing the next point after an excellent rally. Świątek then seals the deal to take the game to 0.
If Anisimova is going to get anything from this, she’s going to have to come out for the second set playing completely differently.
It has been a tough start for Amanda Anisimova and she now trails 5-0 after losing yet another service game.
Serving has been a struggle throughout the opening stages for the American, and this theme continued for the 23-year-old throughout the latest game.
Iga Świątek is now in complete control and just one game away from taking an early 1-0 set lead.
Anisimova enjoys a bit more success in this game, going up 0-15 and 15-30, but nets three times in a row to give her opponent a 4-0 lead.
It’s looking like an uphill struggle for the American so far.
Maybe it’s because she’s clearly struggling in her first grand slam final, or perhaps because people always go for the underdog, but the majority of shouts from the crowd so far have been in favor of Anisimova.
Cries of, “Come on Amanda!” ring around Centre Court after that service game, with the American yet to register a score on the board.
It feels like she might need to use that support as inspiration if she’s going to get back into this opening set.
Anisimova needed to bounce back quickly to gain a foothold in this final, but the American has failed to do so in her second service game.
After a back-and-forth game, Świątek now has a commanding 3-0 lead in the opening set as she dominates the early encounters.
It has not been great viewing for the American contingent on Centre Court so far as Anisimova struggles with her serve.
When Anisimova was imagining this final last night, it certainly would not have gone like this.
Being broken in her first service game is going to make this first set an uphill battle and she’s just not seeing the ball well at the moment.
Świątek, on the other hand, looks very confident and is captilizing on every chance she’s getting so far.
The American is trying to stay calm, but you imagine her brain must be feeling a little scrambled so far.
Iga Świątek has started this match looking like exactly what she is: a five-time grand slam champion.
She holds serve in the second game with relative ease, winning to 15.
