“Dream becomes true”: Maria sensationally in the final of London
The favorite fright struck again: Tatjana Maria amazes at the tournament in London with the next victory as an outsider. Do you succeed in the big coup now?
Tennis player Tatjana Maria continued her sensational triumphal march in London and for the first time in her career reached the final of a WTA 500 tournament. The 37-year-old Schwäbin also surprised in the semifinals with a 6: 3, 7: 6 (7: 3) against the clearly favored Australian Open winner Madison Keys from the USA. “The dream run goes on,” wrote the organizer on the X.
“Oh my god! Seriously: I can’t believe it. A dream will come true,” said Maria: “I couldn’t have wanted a better tournament to get to the final. I’m so proud.”
At 37 and 312 days, the former Wimbledon semi-finalist is now the oldest player in a WTA 500 final. In the final of the Rasm tournament, Maria either meets the top seed Zheng Qinwen from China or the American Amanda Anisimowa. The tournament in the Queen’s Club is an important yardstick for the classic lawn Wimbledon from June 30th to July 13th.
Maria runs on the lawn for top form
Maria had already become a favorite fright on her favorite covering in the rounds. In the quarter-finals, the world rankings 86. A coup also against the former Wimbledon winner Jelena Rybakina from Kazakhstan. Before that, she had beaten the former Canadian US Open finalist Leylah Fernandez and the Czech Karolina Muchova.
In 2022, Maria had achieved her greatest success at Grand Slam level with the sensational semi-finals in Wimbledon.
