Stat of the Year, No. 1: Iga Swiatek’s historic 6-0, 6-0, 6-0 end game at Wimbledon

The stars of the ATP and WTA rewrote history time and time again in 2025, and this week on TENNIS.com we’ve been celebrating some of their biggest achievements with our top five stats of the year.

So far, we’ve covered Jannik Sinner becoming the youngest player ever to reach the final of all four Grand Slams and the ATP Finals in the same season, Aryna Sabalenka breaking the record for most tie-breaks won in a row by a woman in the Open Era, Novak Djokovic becoming the first man in the Open Era to win a title in 20 different seasons and Carlos Alcaraz becoming the youngest man ever to win multiple Grand Slam titles on all three surfaces.

Today, a historic finish on a historic stage...

Iga Swiatek achieved a lot by winning Wimbledon this year—she became the first woman to win her first six Grand Slam finals since Monica Seles and the youngest woman to win Grand Slam titles on all three surfaces since Serena Williams, to name a few.

But the way she won it was even rarer—in fact, it's never happened before, and it's very possible it will never happen again.

By winning her semifinal match against Belinda Bencic, 6-2, 6-0, and her final match against Amanda Anisimova, 6-0, 6-0, she became the first tennis player ever—female or male—to reel off three bagel sets to finish off winning a Grand Slam singles title.

Two other players have finished off with two bagels.

Dorothea Lambert Chambers won Wimbledon in 1911 with a 6-0, 6-0 victory over Dora Boothby, but that was when the Challenge Round format was in place, where the defending champion only had to play the final, so that was her only match of the event.

And Steffi Graf won Roland Garros in 1988 with a 6-0, 6-0 victory over Natasha Zvereva, but she had a much tougher battle in her semifinal match, defeating Gabriela Sabatini, 6-3, 7-6 (3).

Swiatek is the only player ever to clinch a Grand Slam title with three bagels in a row, and she actually won her last 20 games in a row at the All England Club this year—from 4-2 in the first set against Bencic, she didn't lose another game the rest of the way.

And that, tennis fans, is our No. 1 Stat of the Year for 2025.

🇵🇱 @iga_swiatek has become just the second woman this century to finish four straight years in the Top 2—she was #1 in 2022, #1 in 2023, #2 in 2024 and now #2 in 2025. 🔥🔥🔥🔥

The only other woman to do that since 2000? Serena Williams:https://t.co/a19jxi9crQ
