Iga Swiatek Wins Wimbledon, Receives Personalised Champion Towel

Iga Swiatek, known during Wimbledon for humorously collecting dozens of official towels, was honored with a personalized purple and green towel embroidered with 'Property of Iga Swiatek, Wimbledon Champion' after her dominant 6-0, 6-0 victory over Amanda Anisimova in the final. This unique gift acknowledged her playful reputation as 'Wimbledon's towel thief' and was a keepsake she no longer needed to sneak away. Swiatek, who has previously won the US Open and four French Open titles, became the youngest woman since Serena Williams in 2002 to secure Grand Slam titles on three different surfaces. She expressed surprise and joy at her achievement, emphasizing the hard work without expectations that led to her success. Swiatek had previously joked that tennis players have a quiet obsession with Grand Slam towels, often facing requests from friends and family for them. Wimbledon’s tribute on social media highlighted the lighthearted aspect of this tradition alongside her impressive performance.
