Amanda Anisimova Makes Embarrassing Wimbledon History After Loss to Iga Swiatek originally appeared on Athlon Sports.

Navratilova was the last woman to win the first set of a Wimbledon final 6-0, doing so in 1983. Anisimova never regained the momentum seized early in her semifinals match with Aryna Sabalenka and was bothered by nerves early, dropping the first service game of the match to quickly fall behind after making three unforced errors.

Tennis superstar Amanda Anisimova made history as the first American Wimbledon women’s finalist since Serena Williams in 2019. Anisimova initially established herself as a tennis superstar at age 17 when she advanced to the final four at the French Open in 2019.
