Tatjana Maria, a qualifier, beat Amanda Anisimova, the number eight seed, in straight sets to win the first women’s tournament at Queen’s since 1973Ready play.Apparently Anisimova was practising this morning and had someone hitting slices at her.

Email daniel.harris@theguardian.comAnd of course it’s impossible to conceive of this competition without casting our minds forward to Wimbledon.

But Maria is canny and knows that, at her age, this might be her last chance to snaffle so coveted a title. If she can keep Anisimova moving, she’s a really good chance. Continue reading...
