WIMBLEDON ETHICS: IGA SWIATEK REFUSED TO GIVE ANISIMOVA FREE POINT
Iga Swiatek defends her ruthless 6-0, 6-0 Wimbledon final win over Amanda Anisimova. The World No. 1 reveals she was also "stressed as hell" during the match.
In a recent interview, Iga Swiatek addressed those who thought she should have let Amanda Anisimova win a game in their 2025 Wimbledon final.
A lot of people anticipated a tough match between Swiatek and Anisimova at Wimbledon that year. In a memorable semifinal, the American player beat Aryna Sabalenka in three sets. Sources reported the WTA world No. 1 wasn't happy with Anisimova's behaviour during the match.
But the final didn't live up to the hype. Anisimova seemed really nervous and was defeated 0-6, 0-6. It was the first time a player hadn't won a game in a Wimbledon singles final since 1911.
Swiatek took full advantage of Anisimova's struggles. Since 2020, she's won more sets 6-0 than any other WTA player. This makes her well-suited to quickly beat an opponent who isn't playing well.
Afterwards, many fans felt sorry for Anisimova, who was having a hard time in her first Grand Slam final. Some suggested Swiatek could have given the 24-year-old a game to spare her from total defeat, since she would almost surely have won anyway.
In an interview, Swiatek said she was just trying to concentrate and wasn't thinking about how it looked. She said she only realised how strange the 6-0, 6-0 score was in a Grand Slam final after the match.
I wasn’t really thinking about how it looked; I was just playing, and I didn’t want to give any points for free. “ It’s a Wimbledon final; I really wanted to win it," she said. “After, for sure, there were a lot of crazy things happening. I remember all these interviews about the score, journalists asking questions if I should let Amanda win one game or something like that. It was pretty different.
Swiatek believes the final showed just how important a player's mental state is in tennis. She noted that many people focused on Anisimova's anxiety but didn't realise she was feeling the same way on such a big stage.
I can only say that this tournament shows tennis is such a mental sport. This part of the game has a huge impact on everything and on the results of each player. She stated. I’m really happy I handled the pressure well, because after the final, everybody was talking about Amanda being stressed or something, but I was also stressed as hell; playing the final of Wimbledon on Centre Court is a surreal experience.
Iga Swiatek plans to change her schedule in 2026.
Swiatek has often talked about how long the tennis schedule is and how many mandatory tournaments there are. In 2025, not playing enough of these mandatory events caused Swiatek, Aryna Sabalenka, Coco Gauff, and others to lose points.
In an interview, Swiatek said she'll probably skip two tournaments in 2026. These will likely be events where she doesn't normally play well.
I would like to try missing maybe two tournaments—maybe the ones I feel I haven’t been playing well at anyway—just spending this time on grinding and getting the technique better, she said. I think it will help me also play a little bit better under stress, because my body will remember the proper movements and what it learned during this practice time.
BREAKING: AUSTRALIAN OPEN SEEDING AT RISK! CHECK THE NEW 18-TOURNAMENT RANKING RULE NOW
The 2026 ATP season begins with a major rule change. Rankings now count only 18 tournaments, causing points to drop for the Top 10.
The 2026 ATP Tour season kicks off with the United Cup this Friday. Everyone's watching to see what happens in men's tennis this year.
There's a ranking rule change that started late in 2025 that everyone will be dealing with.
Here’s a breakdown of the change and who it's impacting:
What's the New Rule?
Before 2026, a player's ATP ranking could include points from 19 tournaments: the four Grand Slams, the eight mandatory Masters 1000 events, and their next seven best results.
These could be from the Monte Carlo Masters, ATP 500, ATP 250, or Challenger events. Qualifying for the ATP Finals was a bonus.
Now, only 18 events count. Rankings will only include the four Grand Slams, eight mandatory Masters events, and a player's six best results, plus the ATP Finals if they qualify.
Also, the top 30 players only need to play four ATP 500 events, instead of five.
Who's Affected in the Top 10?
This change took place recently, and seven players in the top 10 lost points. Their positions stayed the same this time, except for the players who are stated.
Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner, and Jack Draper were not affected.
Alexander Zverev lost 50 points, Novak Djokovic dropped 10, Felix Auger-Aliassime lost 55, Taylor Fritz dropped 50, Alex de Minaur lost 55, Lorenzo Musetti dropped 50, and Ben Shelton lost 10 points.
What About the Rest of the Rankings?
The top players are mostly okay, but the further down the rankings you go, the more change you'll see.
In the top 20, Jiri Lehecka is the only one impacted. He lost 10 points and fell to No. 18. Karen Khachanov moved up to 17th.
Luciano Darderi and Tallon Griekspoor switched places and are now ranked 25th and 26th. These were the only changes in the top 30.
Outside the top 30, there were bigger moves.
Jaume Munar jumped three spots to No. 33, and Corentin Moutet moved up to 34th. Brandon Nakashima and Stefanos Tsitsipas each fell two spots.
Now ranked 35th and 36th, Nakashima and Tsitsipas might have a harder time getting seeded for the Australian Open.
Pablo Carreno Busta dropped the most, falling from 89th to 93rd.
IMMEDIATE: SHOCKING DETAILS BEHIND CARLOS ALCARAZ-FERRERO SPLIT; WILL HE JOIN RIVAL JANNIK SINNER
World No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz has shocked tennis by splitting with Juan Carlos Ferrero. Learn the real reason behind the breakup.
Tennis fans were shocked when Carlos Alcaraz and his long-time coach, Juan Carlos Ferrero, split. Ferrero has now said whether they've talked since.
Even though Alcaraz is only 22, his time with Ferrero is one of tennis' best. The 2003 French Open champ started coaching Alcaraz, who was a young, promising player in 2019.
With Ferrero's help, Alcaraz became a superstar and one of the most exciting players to watch. He's won six Grand Slams and finished 2025 as the world's top player, ahead of Jannik Sinner.
The only major title they didn't win together was the Australian Open. Even though it's still a few weeks away, people recently saw Alcaraz's outfit for the 2026 tournament in Melbourne. It's bright and colourful.
Alcaraz had a great 2025, winning two more Grand Slams, so the split was even more surprising. It sounds like disagreements between Ferrero and others close to Alcaraz caused the change.
In an interview, Ferrero answered a question everyone's been asking: Have he and Alcaraz been in touch since they stopped working together?
We haven't talked yet because he needs to relax so he can train. Once things calm down, we'll talk, and everything will be fine.
Ferrero's nice words about Alcaraz suggest they'll talk again. He thinks they can still be friends after all they've achieved.
I've learned a lot from Carlos. He's a kid with amazing charisma. He's always loyal and honest, tells the truth, and works really hard. I'm happy because once things settle, I'm sure we'll keep talking, remembering all the things we did together, and stay friends.
It must be tough for Ferrero not to be coaching Alcaraz after working so hard to make him one of the best. Taking some time before talking to the 22-year-old might also be good for him.
Juan Carlos Ferrero was also asked about coaching Jannik Sinner after splitting from Carlos Alcaraz.
Since 2024, one of Ferrero's main jobs has been helping Alcaraz figure out how to beat Jannik Sinner. Together, they've won every men's singles Grand Slam in the last two seasons.
Now that Ferrero isn't Alcaraz's coach, he was asked if he'd consider joining Sinner's team, which would be a huge change in tennis.
Ferrero didn't say no. Instead, he said he needed time to get used to not coaching Alcaraz. Sinner is still coached by Simone Vagnozzi and Darren Cahill, after Cahill changed his mind about retiring at the end of 2025.
