"Who would have expected that?"

Iga Swiatek was not on many people's radar to win Wimbledon - including her own.

The 24-year-old's two-year reign as world number one - ended by Aryna Sabalenka last year - was underpinned by dominance on the clay and consistency on the hard courts.

Swiatek became known as the 'Queen of Clay' after winning four French Open titles in five years, while she also won the US Open in 2022.

But she now leaves Wimbledon as the champion, thanks to an astonishing 6-0 6-0 victory in just 57 minutes over Amanda Anisimova in Saturday's final.
