Coco Gauff, her ex-coach, Brad Gilbert, Nick Kyrgios, and others reacted to the women's singles Wimbledon final between Iga Swiatek and Amanda Anisimova. Swiatek was unplayable as she got the better of Anisimova without the latter winning a single game.
Under the watchful eyes of some of the world's biggest names, Swiatek was off the blocks in a flash against Anisimova in the championship match at SW19. Surprisingly, Anisimova ran out of ideas from the very beginning, and the Pole was not leaving any stones unturned.
Swiatek earned her sixth Grand Slam title by winning the Wimbledon final 6-0, 6-0. This was only the second such scoreline in a Grand Slam final in the Open Era. Congratulations poured in for the Pole while messages of comfort were shared for Anisimova, who has gone through a lot in her short but extremely successful career.
