This was the first Wimbledon women's final in the Open era, spanning 114 years, in which one player didn't win a single game.

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.

After Polish tennis star Iga Świątek’s commanding victory at this year’s Wimbledon final, the US Embassy in Warsaw has made good on a lighthearted wager inspired by her now-famous favorite dish: pasta with strawberries.
