Iga Swiatek blasts Polish media after historic Wimbledon triumph: Let me do my job-OxBig News Network

Iga Swiatek now hopes that the Polish media will let her be after their recent criticisms, as she delivered one of the most ruthless performances to lay her hands on the Wimbledon 2025 women’s singles title by beating Amanda Anisimova without losing a single game point.

She has been under severe scrutiny by the media after her year-long drought, where the Pole was far from her dominating levels. Many had been overly critical of her playing style, coaching and other elements, which clearly frustrated the newly crowned champion.

Swiatek was ruthless in the women’s singles final as she clobbered her opponent, showed no mercy as the American was left shattered after the historic clash, which saw the Polo take the win.

In her post-match press conference, Swiatek didn’t hold back. “We as athletes can’t really react to everything. But for the past months, how the media described me, especially the Polish media, and how they treated my team… it wasn’t really pleasant,” she said.

“I hope they will just leave me alone and let me do my job. Obviously, we know what we are doing. I have the best people around me. I’ve already proved a lot. People want more and more, but this is my own life, my own process. Let me do my job the way I want it.”

Swiatek, who now has six Grand Slam titles, said her Wimbledon run was about finding clarity, both mentally and physically. She credited her win to a combination of sharp focus, fitness, and tactical execution, but most importantly, to a renewed sense of enjoyment on the court.

“Tennis is a mental sport,” she said. “But you need everything to win tournaments—good tennis, good physicality, great focus.”

She added that rather than adding pressure, she chose to simply enjoy the moment, especially on Centre Court.

“I just wanted to enjoy the time I had on Centre Court and enjoy the last hours of me playing well on grass because who knows if it’s going to happen again. I really had fun.”

With the title secured, Swiatek has silenced her critics for now—on her own terms.
