98 m. ago Tatjana Maria shocks Amanda Anisimova to win Queen’s Club women’s singles final – as it happened

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. That makes sense, but it won’t be the same as what’s in store for her on court this afternoon. Thing is – and as I type, there’s another “slice and dice” – the match may, in fact, be decided by how her excellence on the return matches up with Maria’s excellence on serve. Continue reading...

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...
