After the game finished, she retreated away from the courtside cameras to collect herself.

Wimbledon briefing: Day 13 recap and men's final preview

Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz will face each other in the men's final on the last day of action at the All England Club. Here, the PA news agency looks back at Saturday's events and previews day 14 of the Championships. Iga Swiatek crushed Amanda Anisimova in the most one-sided Wimbledon final for 114 years. Anisimova, playing in her first grand slam showpiece, failed to win a single game, with Swiatek racing to a 6-0 6-0 victory on a stunned Centre Court in only 57 minutes. Not since 1911, when Dorothea Lambert Chambers beat Dora Boothby, had a Wimbledon final been decided by such a scoreline, while the only other instance at a grand slam came in the French Open in 1988 when Steffi Graf beat Natasha Zvereva. Swiatek, who claimed her sixth grand slam title but first on grass, believes her Wimbledon title is the perfect response to her critics. 'For sure, the past months, how the media sometimes describe me – and I've got to say, unfortunately, Polish media, how they treated me and my team, it wasn't really pleasant,' said the 24-year-old Pole. 'I hope they will just leave me alone and let me do my job because obviously you can see that we know what we are doing, and I have the best people around me. A distraught Anisimova said: 'It's not how I would have wanted my first grand slam final to go. I think I was a little bit in shock after. But I told myself, I'll definitely come out stronger after this.' Cash, 28, and 31-year-old Glasspool beat Australian Rinky Hijikata and David Pel of the Netherlands 6-2 7-6 (3) in the final on Centre Court. The duo are the first all-British pairing to win the title since Pat Hughes and Raymond Tuckey lifted the trophy in 1936. Jonny Marray, Neal Skupski and Henry Patten 12 months ago have all been home winners at Wimbledon in the last 15 years, but all with foreign partners. Five weeks after the Spaniard saved three match points and fought back from two sets down in an epic five-and-a-half-hour French Open final, the great rivals will meet again on Centre Court. 'I think if it would be a lot in my head, I would not be in the situation to play a final again,' said Sinner. 'I'm very happy to share once again the court with Carlos. It's going to be difficult, I know that. But I'm looking forward to it.' WHAT A MATCH POINT 💥#RolandGarros — Roland-Garros (@rolandgarros) June 8, 2025 Alcaraz, chasing a hat-trick of Wimbledon titles, cannot help but be buoyed by his Paris exploits. 'I still think about that moment, sometimes,' he said. 'It was the best match that I have ever played so far. 'I'm not surprised he pushed me to the limit. I expect that on Sunday. I'm just excited about it. I hope not to be five hours and a half on court again. If I have to, I will. But I think it's going to be great.'
