6 Love, 6 Love, the first double bagel women's major final since 1988 and only the third all time.
This was Switek's 6th Grand Slam final, making her 6-0 record in Grand Slam finals, including 4 French Opens and 1 US Open, which makes this title at Wimbledon and this dominant win at Wimbledon even more impressive because the grass court has given her issues in the past.
But she becomes the only active player to win a major title on all three surfaces, adding grass to her repertoire on Saturday at Wimbledon, and she did it all seemingly with ease.
She lost just one set in her first 6 matches at Wimbledon.
