Swiatek makes history at Wimbledon final

Iga Swiatek's ruthless demolition of Amanda Anisimova on Centre Court was over in 57 brutal minutes — one of the shortest Wimbledon finals in history.

The world No 8's 6-0, 6-0 win last Saturday marked only the second women's Grand Slam final to end in a double-bagel in the Open Era — the last time being Steffi Graf's famous rout at the 1988 French Open.

Swiatek, 24, now boasts six Grand Slam titles, a perfect 6-0 record in major finals, and became the first Polish player in history to lift the Venus Rosewater Dish.

Fans saw a merciless masterclass from Swiatek and a nightmare debut for Anisimova in her maiden Grand Slam final. It was the first Wimbledon women’s final since 1911 to finish 6-0, 6-0.

But to watch history be made, supporters in SW19 had to break the bank.

The most expensive Centre Court ticket cost an eye-watering £315. If one were to turn up after the men's doubles final ended, they would have paid £5.53 for each minute of tennis action.

Meanwhile, the cheapest ticket was £240, which breaks down to £4.21 per minute.

For Anisimova, the experience was more painful than premium. She left the court fighting back tears with her head in her hands, likely ruing the countless unforced errors - 28 to be precise.

She told an empathetic Centre Court crowd: 'It's been an incredible fortnight for me - even though I ran out of gas.
