Amanda Anisimova said she was ‘frozen by nerves’ as her Wimbledon dream turned into a nightmare as Iga Swiatek romped to a historic 6-0, 6-0 victory in Saturday’s final. 

Anisimova had enjoyed a fairytale run to her first Grand Slam final just 18 months after returning to the game from a break to help her mental health. 
However, she admitted the occasion and the draining nature of a two-week slam played in blistering conditions during a London heatwave had taken its toll in the most one-sided final at SW19 for 114 years. 

“I was a bit frozen there with my nerves. Maybe the last two weeks I got a bit tired or something,” said Anisimova.
