Iga Swiatek shut out Amanda Anisimova in the Wimbledon women's final Saturday in a match that lasted just under an hour. Swiatek won in consecutive sets, 6-0, 6-0. It was the first women's final at the tournament in 114 years in which one player failed to claim a single game.
Recap Iga Świątek’s historic victory over Amanda Anisimova, who was unable to win a single game in the women’s singles final
Anisimova was born in New Jersey—but relocated to Florida with her family as a child in order to boost her tennis career.
In 1998, Konstantin Anisimov and Olga Anisimova moved to the U.S. from Russia with their then-10-year-old daughter, Amanda's older sister Maria Egee, to give her more opportunities. After Amanda was born in 2001, the family of four moved again from New Jersey to Florida to support Maria’s growing tennis ambitions.
Anisimova's talent has never been in doubt, but it's a physiotherapist who she credits for her deepest Grand Slam run in three years.
