Kate, the Princess of Wales, handed out the trophy to Iga Swiatek and some consoling words to Amanda Anisimova after the women’s Wimbledon final.

The straight-sets win by the Polish superstar Iga Świątek over America’s Amanda Anisimova is an outlier, not the norm.

Anisimova is seeking her first career Grand Slam and is to finally break through as one of the top players in the sport, after several years of nearly achieving greatness. In the semifinals, the American defeated Aryna Sabalenka, the world number one-ranked female tennis player, in three sets, 6-4, 4-6, and 6-4.

There were two so-called 'double bagels' at this year's Wimbledon -- the term used to describe a match ending 6-0 6-0 -- and American Amanda Anisimova starred in both. The first one launched the 23-year-old on the path to her first Grand Slam final as she thrashed Yulia Putintseva.
