Double Bagel

Tennis player Iga Swiatek from Poland won the women’s final in Wimbledon today, versus Amanda Anisimova from America. The result was astounding: 6-0, 6-0. Anisimova did not win a single game. A victory like this is called a ”double bagel”, probably because of the double 0’s. It has not happened since 1911 that a final in Wimbledon has been won so convincingly as 6-0, 6-0. This is 114 years ago. It is amazing, a historic event, when you think about it.
