In a twist that has left the tennis world buzzing with disbelief, a mysterious social media prophecy correctly foretold Iga Swiatek’s triumph at the 2025 Wimbledon Championships, marking the second consecutive year that an enigmatic fan’s prediction has come true. The user, known only by the handle @VenusGauff, sent shockwaves through the sport by accurately predicting Swiatek’s victory over Amanda Anisimova in a historic 6-0, 6-0 final on July 12, 2025, just as they had foreseen Barbora Krejcikova’s 2024 win. Fans and analysts alike are calling it “witchcraft,” with one stunned observer exclaiming, “This witchcraft needs to be studied,” as the improbable streak sparked a frenzy of awe and speculation online.
The saga began in 2024 when @VenusGauff boldly declared that whoever faced Veronika Kudermetova in the first round of Wimbledon would claim the Venus Rosewater Dish. True to their word, Krejcikova, who defeated Kudermetova, went on to win her second Grand Slam title. Fast forward to 2025, and the same fan made another audacious claim on June 9, before the Wimbledon draw was even released: the player drawn against Polina Kudermetova in the opening round would emerge victorious. When the draw revealed Swiatek as Polina’s opponent, the tennis community took notice, but few could have anticipated the Pole’s dominant run to her first Wimbledon title and sixth major overall. “IGA SWIATEK WIMBLEDON CHAMPION 2025 I NEVER HAD A DOUBT,” one fan posted, while another marveled, “It’s Iga’s time⭐️.” The prediction’s accuracy, coming on the heels of the Krejcikova prophecy, prompted reactions like, “How does this happen 2 years in a row I need someone to calculate the actual probability this is crazy.”
Swiatek’s victory was nothing short of spectacular. Facing Anisimova on Centre Court, the 24-year-old Polish star delivered a masterclass, winning in just 57 minutes without dropping a game—a rare “double bagel” not seen in a Wimbledon final since 1911. Swiatek’s performance was a testament to her evolution on grass, a surface once considered her weakest. “I didn’t even dream about this because it felt too far away,” she admitted post-match, her voice tinged with disbelief. “I feel like I am an experienced player, but I never expected this win. My team believed in me more than I did.” Her 78% first-serve accuracy and relentless groundstrokes overwhelmed Anisimova, who struggled with 28 unforced errors. Swiatek’s triumph marked her as the first Polish woman to win Wimbledon and the eighth active woman to secure majors on all three surfaces.
The prediction’s mystique was amplified by @VenusGauff’s history of uncanny foresight. In 2023, the same user accurately predicted Coco Gauff and Aryna Sabalenka’s US Open final matchup based solely on their “Grand Slam-worthy” outfits. “The first one was so nice, I had to do it twice,” the fan boasted after Swiatek’s win, igniting further debate about their seemingly supernatural knack. “There has to come a point where we needwings need to start talking about dark magic, because this is outrageous,” one commenter wrote, capturing the blend of amusement and astonishment that swept through social media.
Anisimova, despite the crushing defeat, earned widespread admiration for her resilience. The 23-year-old American, who reached her first Grand Slam final after a mental health break in 2023, spoke with poise: “I think I was a little bit in shock after, but I told myself: ‘I’ll definitely come out stronger after this.’” Her journey, marked by a WTA 1000 title in Doha earlier in 2025, underscored her potential, even as Swiatek’s dominance stole the spotlight.
The tennis community showered both players with praise. Coco Gauff, a close friend and rival, posted, “So much to be proud of Amanda ❤️❤️❤️ keep your head up 👑,” while Rafael Nadal and Billie Jean King lauded Swiatek’s historic achievement. Even Courteney Cox, present at Centre Court, shared a warm embrace with the champion. As the dust settles, the tennis world remains captivated not only by Swiatek’s brilliance but by the eerie prophecy that foretold it. “Do you read crystal balls by any means?” one fan asked @VenusGauff, summing up the collective wonder. With the 2026 Wimbledon looming, all eyes are on whether this mysterious predictor will strike again.
