Rafael Nadal Sends Personal Message to Amanda Anisimova Amid Historic Wimbledon Loss originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Amanda Anisimova found herself making history at Wimbledon 2025 following her Ladies' Singles Final match against number eight seed, Iga Swiatek— but not for the reason she had hoped.

Amanda Anisimova thanked her mother for flying to London to watch her play in the Wimbledon final and for all of her help through the years.

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.
