Iga Świątek won her first-ever Wimbledon title and sixth major in dominant fashion Saturday, becoming just the second women's tennis player in the Open Era to win a major final in straight sets.
Świątek's dominant 6-0, 6-0 win over Amanda Anisimova left the American tennis player understandably distraught, as Anisimova fought back tears before and throughout her post-match interview, in which she graciously congratulated Świątek and shared a beautiful moment with her mother.
Świątek classily offered some words of encouragement in her own post-match interview. And the Polish tennis star wasn't the only one to quickly offer support to Anisimova.
Two-time major winner Coco Gauff, the top-ranked American women's tennis player, took to X and offered her own support to her fellow countrywoman shortly after the match.
so much to be proud of Amanda❤️❤️❤️ keep your head up 👑

Gauff congratulated Świątek in an ensuing post on X.
The encouragement for her peers was especially great to see from Gauff given that her run at Wimbledon, fresh off a French Open title, ended far sooner than she would have liked with a stunning first-round upset at the hands of Dayana Yastremska.
Gauff will now turn her attention to the upcoming hard-court season—and the calendar's final major, the U.S. Open.
