2025 Wimbledon champion Iga Swiatek reflected on her triumph in a new heartfelt Instagram post.
World No. 3 Swiatek captured her first Wimbledon title last Saturday with a historic 6-0, 6-0 triumph over Amanda Anisimova, needing just 57 minutes to defeat the American in an extraordinary result.
Victory saw the Pole become the first player from her nation to triumph in singles at the All England Club, and become just the eighth woman to complete the ‘Surface Slam’, having now won major titles on hard, clay, and grass courts.
Swiatek’s victory on Centre Court ended a 13-month trophy drought amid recent form struggles, with the Pole ultimately dropping just one set over the fortnight on her way to her sixth Grand Slam title.
Wimbledon had statistically been the 24-year-old’s weakest Grand Slam tournament before 2025, with just one previous quarter-final showing to her name.
However, her rampant run to the title has cemented her return to form and further seals her place in the record books as a champion at the oldest and most prestigious tournament in tennis.
Swiatek revealed in her post-final speech that winning the title had always felt “way too far” away, and, in a new post on social media, admitted the magnitude of her triumph was still sinking in.
She wrote: “Winning Wimbledon was always such a distant dream for me that it actually has never crossed my mind to think about it.
“It’s hard to describe the emotions that arise in me now that this dream has come true. Even after these few days I am still putting it together in my mind.
“I am very happy and proud that working day after day and having the support of my team in every situation (as I said after the game, sometimes they believed in me more than I believed in myself), we achieved something so magical.
“Now I understand this uniqueness and, in a way, the momentousness of this tournament. I will never forget these emotions and experiences as much as I will always remember how much work on and off the court it cost me to get to this place.
“And now it’s time to catch my breath.”
After her Wimbledon triumph, Swiatek is currently set to return to action at the Canadian Open, which gets underway in just under a fortnight.
The Pole has never previously triumphed at the tournament and skipped the event in 2024 due to her Paris 2024 Olympic Games campaign, as did a handful of other ATP and WTA players.
Swiatek is then set to play the Cincinnati Open, where she was a semi-finalist in 2024, before the final Grand Slam tournament of the year at the US Open, which starts on August 24th.
The world No. 3 is set to play in the revamped mixed doubles tournament alongside Casper Ruud prior to the singles event, before she competes for what would be a seventh Grand Slam singles title.
Swiatek previously triumphed at the US Open back in 2022, beating Ons Jabeur in the final.
