New Wimbledon champion Iga Swiatek has hit out at the media’s coverage of her this season, saying: “Leave me alone.” Swiatek swept aside America’s Amanda Anisimova 6-0, 6-0 in only 57 minutes to win her first Wimbledon title and sixth grand slam in all, cementing her place as the best player of the current generation.

Aryna Sabalenka remained atop the women’s rankings, followed by French Open champion Coco Gauff, who lost in the first round at Wimbledon.

Iga Swiatek bulldozed her way to a maiden Wimbledon title on Saturday to take her Grand Slam tally to six and although the Pole preferred not to rank her wins, she said her latest one felt a little more special than the others.
