Overview

• Tatjana Maria defeated Amanda Anisimova 6-3, 6-4 to claim her first WTA-500 title and the biggest trophy of her career.
• As a 37-year-old qualifier, she became the oldest player ever to win a WTA-500 tournament.
• Maria’s use of slice on both wings disrupted higher-ranked opponents and underpinned victories over Jelena Rybakina and Madison Keys.
• Having failed to win a match since April, her triumph in London represents a key turning point in a season that had stalled early.
• The win moves her back inside the top 50 to world No. 43, elevates her to German No. 1 and boosts her status heading into Wimbledon.
