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.

Frozen by nerves in her first appearance in a major final, Amanda Anisimova says she was in "shock" after losing 6-0, 6-0 to Iga Świątek in the Wimbledon decider.
