New Wimbledon champion Iga Swiatek has hit out at the media’s coverage of her this season, saying: “Leave me alone.” Swiatek swept aside America’s Amanda Anisimova 6-0, 6-0 in only 57 minutes to win her first Wimbledon title and sixth grand slam in all, cementing her place as the best player of the current generation.

Swiatek hired Wim Fissette as coach at the end of last season. A ‘super-coach’ who guided the likes of Naomi Osaka and Simona Halep to Major titles, he had yet to collect any silverware with the Pole until now.
