(AP Photo/Kirsty Wigglesworth) New Delhi: “I want to thank everyone who makes this tournament unique because there is no such tournament. Just in the unilateral blitz just beat Amanda Anisimova 6-0, 6-0 in less than an hour.The Polish player had reasons to consider her strong record on other surfaces but grass every year. 2020, 2022, 2023, 2024 French Open and 2022 US Open Champion never won Wimbledon.When the hype increased around her, she came to SW19 and descended down and disappointing. In 2019 it started 81. Viktorija Golubic ranking and continued with the ONS JABEUR (24th evaluation), Alize Corner (37th), Elina Svitolina (76th) and Julia Putintseva (35th). She went the farthest, until this year, was the quarterfinals. It is irony that Swiato as a junior won the title of Wimbledon Girl singles in 2018.After seven years she raised a trophy, much greater size compared to a female singer. Victory, and perhaps his way, surprised himself. When she talked to the media, she was “unbelievable” and “unexpected”.
“It is a lot, especially after a period of ascension and falls and a lot of expectations from outside, which I did not answer by winning Wimbledon. It’s something that is just unreal and tennis is constantly surprised and I’m constantly surprised,” she said.The rise and falls mentioned by the former World No. 1 Swiatle include the title drought that returns to the French Open 2024. Then it went for more than a year without reaching the final of the tournament. At the Olympic Games 2024, which took place in Paris in the place of Roland Garros, she lost in the semifinals and cried for six hours. In November 2024, there was also a ban on doping for random use of a contaminated drug.She didn’t care about her leg on Saturday. When she went 6-0 in the final of the main title, she gained 55 out of 79 points; served up to 121 mph; She got 78% of her first serving and packed 80% of points that lasted five or more shots. Victory 6-0, 6-0 is only the second in Wimbledon’s history – the last arrival in 1911 – 114 years!The case of flying under the radar helped. This was partly caused by her bad record in Wimbledon. It wasn’t the best seed. She and the rest of the world had lower expectations from her.“I could really focus on improvement and development as a player,” said Swietek, “rather than everyone asking me to win, and there is nothing good except victory.”“Honestly, I didn’t even hate (of it), because it was just for me, like too far, do you know?” Said switek.There was also more time to prepare for the Grass Court season. After Swiato defeated Aryna Sabalenko at the French Open, the grass courts of Mallorca hit a month ago, followed by the last run, her first on the grass, in Bad Homburg, Germany.The SW19 dropped only one or 35 games on SW19. No woman raised the Wimbledon trophy with such dominance in this century. After the Steffi graph, she became the second player to win the main final of women with double bagel. The German legend lasted 32 minutes at that time, and Swiato needed 57 minutes. And the list of misunderstandings continues.“Frankly, I did not even (of it), because it was just too far for me,” Swiatus said in court only moments after securing the title. “I feel like I’m an experienced player after I won Slams before, but I never really expected it.”Does Wimbledon mean more than the French are opening up and the US is opening? Swiátk acknowledged that it was a difficult question before admitting it was “strange” for what it represents. And what it represents is a big, bold exclamation mark on her biography.
