Amanda Anisimova or Iga Swiatek will be Wimbledon's eighth consecutive first-time women's champion

GREATER LONDON, ENGLAND, JUL 11 – No woman has won Wimbledon twice since Serena Williams in 2016, with seven consecutive first-time champions highlighting increased competition, experts say.

  • On Saturday at Wimbledon, American Amanda Anisimova faces Polish Iga Swiatek in the women's final, aiming to become the eighth consecutive first-time champion.
  • Since Serena Williams' 2022 US Open exit, no woman has dominated, leading to a trend of first-time Wimbledon winners like Anisimova and Swiatek since 2016.
  • Grass courts pose unique challenges, with only two to three weeks to adapt after clay, as Anisimova's 2022 quarterfinal run demonstrated her skill on the surface.
  • Since 2016, all Wimbledon women’s singles champions have been first-timers, including Muguruza, Kerber, Vondrousova, Krejcikova, with 2020’s event canceled due to COVID-19.
  • More broadly, Chris Evert notes women's tennis now has deeper talent than Navratilova's era of repeated champions.
