41 m. ago Amanda Anisimova v Tatjana Maria: Queen’s Club women’s singles final – live

Game-by-game report of final due to start at 1.30pm BSTTop players to get protected ranking for fertility courseGet in touch! Email daniel.harris@theguardian.comAnd of course it’s impossible to conceive of this competition without casting our minds forward to Wimbledon. Anisimova made the last eight in 2022 and must’ve been at her lowest around then; she’s running into form nicely now, feeling like an entirely different person. She’s definitely one to watch, whatever happens today.So who’s going to win? Well Anisimova is the better player with the bigger game; if she produces her best or close to it, she’ll be hard to beat. 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...
