Coco Gauff was among the first names to send a consoling message to Amanda Anisimova after the American's crushing defeat to Iga Swiatek in the final of the 2025 Wimbledon Championships. Playing in her first Grand Slam final, Anisimova was expectedly nervous, and lost the battle in less than an hour on Center Court.
Playing the final on Saturday, her first at Wimbledon, Swiatek was ruthless, beating Anisimova 6-0, 6-0 with a double bagel. It was the first in a final at Wimbledon in the Open Era, and only the second in a Grand Slam final, following Steffi Graf's win over Renata Zarazua at the 1988 French Open.
Minutes after Anisimova's brutal loss, Coco Gauff took to social media to send a message to her compatriot, telling her to keep her head up.

"So much to be proud of Amanda. Keep your head up," Gauff wrote.
Gauff was one of the favorites for the title here at Wimbledon, after winning the French Open. However, she faced a shock exit in the first round at SW19. Swiatek, meanwhile, was not considered the initial favorites, as she was yet to win a title in 2025 coming into the tournament.
Amanda Anisimova will join Coco Gauff in top 10 after Wimbledon 2025
Thanks to her run to the final at Wimbledon, Amanda Anisimova will make her top 10 in the WTA rankings next week, where she will join Coco Gauff. While Anisimova will become the World No. 7 on Monday, Gauff will remain World No. 2.
There are two more Americans in the top 10 of the women's rankings -- Jessica Pegula at World No. 4 and Madison Keys at World No. 8. Aryna Sabalenka, despite her loss in the semifinals at Wimbledon, continues to maintain her top spot.
Meanwhile, Iga Swiatek will rise to World No. 3 next week. The Pole had dropped to World No. 8 after the French Open and was ranked World No. 4 at the start of the campaign at SW19. The other players in the top 10 include Mirra Andreeva at World No. 5 (a new career high for the Russian), Zheng Qinwen at World No. 6, Jasmine Paolini at World No. 9 and Paula Badosa at World No. 10.
After this, the tennis world will move to the North American hardcourt swing, which will culminate at the US Open, a tournament Sabalenka won last year.
