Iga Swiatek wrote history by winning the Wimbledon final against Amanda Anisimova 6-0 6-0 in a performance that caused John Mcenroe to be amazed in the BBC commentary box
BBC commentator Clare Balding could apologize from John Mcenroe after he had rejected her prediction for the last victory of Iga Swiatek. The Polish player passed Amanda Anisimova past a historic 6-0, 6-0 win on Saturday to secure her first title on SW19.
Swiatek, 24, made a huge leap to complete the career Grand Slam and now only needs an Australian Open Crown to complete her set. In the meantime, Anisimova looked overwhelmed by the occasion of her first grand finale, something balancing as possible.
Saturday’s result was even more dominant than the 6-2, 6-0 win Swiateek achieved in her semi-final match against Belinda Bencic. However, Mcenroe did not provide the final result at all.
He eradicated the suggestion of Balding that spectators could see another clean sweep if Swiatek brought her A-game to the center of the court. Yet that is exactly what happened at the All England Club.
“And that match against Bencic, she [Swiatek] I just didn’t do a foot wrong, “said Balding on BBC comments (via the Daily Express) Just before the final of Saturday started. “I mean, that was almost perfect tennis. And if she plays like that [against Anisimova]This can be over very quickly. “
It is understandable why some people might think that Anisimova would offer a more difficult challenge after beating Aryna Sabalenka in her own semi -final. The Star born in New Jersey went to Teen to Teen with the World No. 1 and eventually came out as a deserved finalist.
But Mcenroe seemed particularly offended by the idea that his fellow American could be beaten so easily. And he came out to swing to ensure that he had that point left.
“Totally different matchup. Completely different,” the triple Wimbledon champion intervened. “That is not going to happen. If that happens, I eat one of those pastas!”
The newest gastronomic gossip from the Grashof revolves around Swiatek who surrenders in a bowl of pasta and strawberries in Wimbledon. She defended the unique mix earlier in the tournament and invited skeptics to try the mix.
Bald weekly McEnroe expected the peculiar dish sampling while she joked: “The pasta with strawberry and yogurt is waiting!” And Mcenroe can be forced to taste a double dessert if he has also served the modest cake that comes on his way.
The emphatic victory of Swiateek in the final was even more breathtaking than her rapid resignation of Bencic in the semi -final. She drove the first double bagel score in a Wimbledon final for more than a century, a proof of how unbalanced the competition turned out.
Commentators noted in real time that Anisimova seemed completely overwhelmed in her Grand Slam Final Bow. And her performance in the title decision maker faded compared to when she drove surprisingly Sabalenka on Thursday.
Despite the established Grand Slam thoroughness of Swiatek, Anisimova appears to peak in the semi -final. And this left her with little before the last action, except perhaps prove that McEnroe is wrong and to ensure that he too gets a taste of the curious culinary combo of the Wimbledon.
