Quick Served: Day 13 — “The Aura Is Back”
From discomfort to dominance on grass.
Andy and Jon Wertheim recap the impressive, and historic, performance displayed by Iga Swiatek in Saturday’s final, remind us why professional athletes “protect everything”, and give props to Amanda Anisimova for her run at SW19.
Plus, Andy tells us why playing in the Wimbledon final feels different, what creeps into players’ minds before the match, and why the silence is “deafening”.
Don’t miss their full women’s final recap and a preview of Sunday’s highly-anticipated Alcaraz-Sinner rematch.

As it turns out, Iga Swiatek is pretty solid on grass.
Not only did she lift the Venus Rosewater Dish for the first time, Swiatek became the first player from Poland to win a singles title at the All England Club, and claimed her sixth major trophy.
Her 6-0, 6-0 sweep over No. 13 seed Amanda Anisimova was the first ‘shutout’ in a major final since Steffi Graf in the 1988 French Open. It’s the first time it happened at Wimbledon in 114 years.
Including her semifinal win over Belinda Bencic, Swiatek didn’t drop a game in the last three sets she played, and won 20-straight games. Saturday’s 57-minute win marked her 100th career victory at Grand Slam events.
It seems super surreal. Honestly, I didn’t even dream of this moment because it was way too far. I never really expected this one. My team believed in me more than I did. There’s no tournament like this one. I was always anxious because of that. Being on Centre Court felt like huge pressure and a bit too much. But this year I learned to feel comfortable here.
The 24-year-old turned around her season on the surface that had been her weakest. After failing to win her fourth-consecutive French Open title, and fifth in six years, Swiatek put together her best grass-court season with ten wins, a finals appearance at Bad Homburg and a Wimbledon title.
Andy and JW break down Swiatek’s dominating fortnight at Wimbledon, her impressive improvement on grass, and explain how she’s quickly closing in on being an all-time great.
Swiatek is just the eighth woman in the Open Era to win major trophies on all three surfaces and can clinch the career Grand Slam at next year’s Australian Open. She’ll also jump up to World No. 3 on Monday.
During the trophy ceremony, Swiatek told Anisimova that regardless of what happened in the match, she should be “proud of the work” she’s doing.
The 23-year-old American upset world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka to reach her first major final. Despite Saturday’s result, she’ll make her Top 10 debut in the rankings at No. 7.
She reached the title match one year after losing in the first round of Wimbledon qualifying while ranked No. 189.
After the match, Anisimova thanked the crowd for their support during the tournament and thanked her mother who flew in to watch the final.
I'm so happy that I get to share this moment and for you to be here and witness this in person. I know you don't get to see me live, playing, that much anymore, because you do so much for my sister and I, and you always have. I love you so much.
Reflecting on his own Wimbledon experience, Andy shares why he has a lot of empathy for Anisimova. He and Jon praise her for her performance at the All England Club and for the solid season she’s putting together.

Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool made history in front of the home crowd on Saturday, becoming the first British pair to win the men’s doubles championship at Wimbledon since 1936. It was the first Grand Slam title for each man.
The duo defeated Rinky Hijikata and David Pel in straight sets to claim the trophy.

Wang upset Yui Kamiji, who had won eight of their last nine meetings.
On the No. 1 Court, Martin De La Puente and Ruben Spaargaren won the men’s wheelchair doubles final against two-time defending champions Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid.

Elsewhere at SW19, Mia Pohankova won the juniors girl’s title on Saturday, beating Julieta Pareja, for her first junior Slam. Alan Wazny and Oskari Paldanius took home the boy’s doubles final.
