Fiorentina Buy Out Former Atalanta and Inter Star
Robin Gosens has found a new home at Fiorentina and resumed performing at high levels after struggling to do so after leaving Atalanta a few years ago.

The Nerazzurri eventually cut bait and shipped him off to Union Berlin for €13M. He started to roar back in the Bundesliga but seized the opportunity to return to Italy last summer as he wasn't totally comfortable in his home country. The German national tr
Our Take on Fiorentina and Gosens

German qualifier Tatjana Maria wins Queen's Club final at age 37
LONDON (AP) — German qualifier Tatjana Maria proclaimed herself 'Queen of Queen's' after winning the Wimbledon warm-up tournament at the Queen's Club for the biggest title of her career on Sunday. The 37-year-old mother of two claimed her first WTA 500 title with a 6-3, 6-4 victory over eighth-seeded Amanda Anisimova in the grass-court final in London. The 86th-ranked Maria won in front of her daughters Charlotte and Cecilia, and her husband and coach Charles-Edouard Maria. 'It means a lot to me," Maria said. 'I'm a good example that even in my age you still can win big trophies. I'm super proud of myself." On the way to her fourth WTA title, she eliminated four top 20 players, including Karolina Muchova, Elena Rybakina and Madison Keys, to become the oldest singles champion on the WTA Tour since 2020, when Serena Williams won the Auckland Classic at age 38. Maria previously won WTA titles on grass at Mallorca in 2018, and triumphed twice on clay in Bogota in 2022 and 2023. ___
