Amanda Anisimova has become part of unwanted history after her heavy Wimbledon final defeat to Iga Swiatek.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Anisimova was very emotional in her on court interview<\/a> after the match, as she failed to win a single game against Swiatek<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Despite many suggesting that nerves were holding the American back, Anisimova has claimed she actually struggled with something else<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While Anisimova will not want to look back on this final<\/a> anytime soon, there are Grand Slam finals that were over in an even quicker time.<\/p>\n

The quickest Grand Slam final in history took place at Wimbledon<\/a> in 1922, when Suzanne Lenglen played Norwegian-American Molla Mallory<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Mallory had won her first six major finals at the US National Championships (now the US Open<\/a>), and had now reached the Wimbledon final for the first time.<\/p>\n

That is where she would go head-to-head with Lenglen, the Frenchwoman who was the three-time defending Wimbledon champion.<\/p>\n

Despite both having impressive r\u00e9sum\u00e9s, the 1922 Wimbledon final was very one-sided. <\/p>\n

Lenglen would beat Mallory, 6-2 6-0, in a final that lasted just 23 minutes at Wimbledon.<\/p>\n

No final has ever been completed in quicker time, with Lenglen and Mallory set to forever remain in the history books.<\/p>\n

Where does Amanda Anisimova and Iga Swiatek\u2019s match rank in the top 10 quickest major finals ever?<\/p>\n

Not only did Lenglen, who now has a court at Roland Garros<\/a> named after her, win the quickest major final in history, but she also won the second quickest against Joan Fry at Wimbledon in 1925.<\/p>\n

According to TNT Sports<\/a>, Swiatek\u2019s emphatic victory over Anisimova<\/a> is the eighth quickest Grand Slam final in history.<\/p>\n

This list also includes two best-of-five matches that were both quicker than the match between Anisimova<\/a> and Swiatek.<\/p>\n\nGrand Slam<\/strong><\/td>\nChampion<\/strong><\/td>\nRunner-up<\/strong><\/td>\nScore<\/strong><\/td>\nMatch time<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n1922 Wimbledon<\/td>\nSuzanne Lenglen<\/td>\nMolla Mallory<\/td>\n6-2 6-0<\/td>\n23 minutes<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n1925 Wimbledon<\/td>\nSuzanne Lenglen<\/td>\nJoan Fry<\/td>\n6-2 6-0<\/td>\n25 minutes<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n1964 US Open<\/td>\nMaria Bueno<\/td>\nCaldwell Graebner<\/td>\n6-1 6-0<\/td>\n25 minutes<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n1988 French Open<\/td>\nSteffi Graf<\/td>\nNatasha Zvereva<\/td>\n6-0 6-0<\/td>\n32 minutes<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n1881 Wimbledon<\/td>\nWilliam Renshaw<\/td>\nJohn Hartley<\/td>\n6-0 6-1 6-1<\/td>\n36 minutes<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n1975 Wimbledon<\/td>\nBillie Jean King<\/td>\nEvonne Goolagong Cawley<\/td>\n6-0 6-1<\/td>\n38 minutes<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n1936 Wimbledon<\/td>\nFred Perry<\/td>\nGottfried von Cramm<\/td>\n6-1 6-1 6-0<\/td>\n40 minutes<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n2025 Wimbledon<\/td>\nIga Swiatek<\/td>\nAmanda Anisimova<\/td>\n6-0 6-0<\/td>\n57 minutes<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n1970 Wimbledon<\/td>\nMargaret Court<\/td>\nBillie Jean King<\/td>\n14-12 11-9<\/td>\n64 minutes<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n1989 Australian Open<\/td>\nSteffi Graf<\/td>\nHelena Sukova<\/td>\n6-4 6-4<\/td>\n64 minutes<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

However, the 2025 women\u2019s singles final at Wimbledon is one of only two where a player has failed to win a single game.<\/p>\n

The other of those came at Roland Garros in 1988, when Steffi Graf<\/a> beat Natasha Zvereva in just 32 minutes.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
