2025 Wimbledon Final: Anisimova vs. Swiatek

[MargaretMcAleer]

While am not exactly a fan, i must congratulate, give credit to Iga Swiatek. She's won her last two matches conceding two games! I doubt that has ever happened before.

Without Iga listening to Wim Fissette her new coach, improving her first serve and especially her fhand I doubt Iga would be a Wimbledon champion
Grass favours flat hitters and Iga has such a extreme grip on her fhand, suitable for clay, not that suitable for the grass.

Congratulations to Mertens/Kudermetova (8) the Ladies Doubles title winners defeating Hsieh/Ostapenko 63 26 64

I am still in a daze that a 60 60 happened it was painful to watch Kieran

Embarrassing to watch, for the sport and also for the punters who - as @Federberg said - paid premium wedge to watch elite tennis.

Embarrassing…

Knowing how expensive the tickets to Wimbledon are, especially in a final, I can totally understand the patrons feeling cheated

It was a terrible expose of women’s tennis..

It wasnt what I was expecting at all, Amanda froze from the start of the match, tight as a drum and sadly never recovered

Did you see Iga got a Wimbledon membership badge on her dress? It means she get 2 free Centre Court seat tickets everyday for the rest of her life.

Probably the reason that Iga's UFE is unusually high for her, is because she was playing very aggressive tennis this tournament, her coach Wim Fissette had her playing a different kind of tennis that Iga is used to playing and also her fhand on grass improved, she has such a extreme grip on her fhand, which is good on the clay. on grass it rewards the flat hitters of the ball.

And i agree with the title of the vid.

Enjoy folks.

I read somewhere that fifty years ago Billie Jean thrashed Evonne Cawley by 6-0-6-1 in just 36 minutes !!!

There has been many one-sided womens wimbly finals.

To me, it makes sense to have the ladies singles final as best of five.

Another set, could have enabled young Amanda to settle and be competitive. The crowds would have warmed to her and responded, possibly lifting her to greater heights.

What do you think? Is it time for BO5 wimbledon womens singles final?

Jeez no, it would completely kill the game. Keep it brief and - hopefully - dignified…

Graf went one better at the RG 1988 final and dismissed her opponent Zvereva 60 60 in 32 mins

You know Cahill and Amanda Anisinova had a brief coaching arrangement, before he went on to coach Simona Halep
Got me to thinking yesterday I wonder if Amanda had stayed on with Cahill, would she have controlled her nerves better in the final and not come out as tight as a drum, and sad to say never recovered, cause up to that she was playing good grass tennis and took out Sabalenka in 3 sets
That is something we will never know

Yes, i know. I was referring to Wimbly finals. To me it makes sense to have a BO5 final but only at Wimbledon.

That's a shame. Another option i guess would be for on-court coaching, let's say at the end of each set, because NOONE likes to see one-sided finals especially women's wimbledon finals.

Photos from the Wimbledon Ball

As I've mentioned several times before, this girl has zero taste in design. All her outfits are age inappropriate. This looks like she pulled a Scarlet Ohara move. Then donned those fugly black flats that she wears w/ every dress ever.

Siniakova

Look at Daniela. Retired for seasons, but still knows how to walk a red carpet

The dress for the photoshoot was better, but still ole ladyish

Iga needs a stylist ASAP I have no words the girl needs help ASAP has zero idea what to wear to a Wimbledon Ball or a photo shoot, those sleeves on her photo shoot dress is just a Grandma look, I could be her mother and there is no way in hell I would wear a dress like that.

Sinner looks stylish in a Gucci suit, one of his sponsors

Daniella and Sinikova look good and know what to wear to a ball.
