25 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...

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...

The Belgian remains a superstar despite his age and will be a huge boost to Conte, Lukaku and McTominayKevin De Bruyne’s move to Napoli this week felt understated: one of the finest players of a generation switching clubs for the first time in a decade, to little fanfare. The arranging of his medical in Rome, not Naples, played a part, avoiding the crowds that would have turned out to greet him. A handful of fans still found a way to be there when he arrived at the Villa Stuart clinic, 140 miles from their team’s home ground.Confirmation of his move came first from the Italian team’s owner, Aurelio De Laurentiis, who posted a picture to social media of them sat side-by-side in director’s chairs. “Welcome Kevin!” were the accompanying words.

2 h. ago My unexpected Pride icon: the diva women of fighting video games inspired me

As a young gay kid who was often teased and bullied for prancing around like a ballet dancer, I drew confidence from self-assured characters like Nina from TekkenGrowing up, fighting video games such as Tekken and Street Fighter were a core part of bonding during summer holidays for my brothers and I. For me, beat-em-ups were less about nurturing any masculine impulses toward strength and destruction, and more about the lore of the fighting game and its varied fighting styles, which played like a dance on the TV screen. That, and the ever-expanding rosters of sexy, glamorous femme fatales.There is a joke I have often heard that you know a young boy may be of the lavender persuasion if he only picks female characters in beat-em-up fighting video games – the parents might think it’s because he fancies them, but really it’s a form of diva worship. That was certainly true for me. Continue reading...
