Maria to face Anisimova in Queen's final
London, June 15 (UNI) Tatjana Maria said her Queen's run has been a "dream come true" after she came through qualifying to reach the final, where she will meet Amanda Anisimova.
The 37-year-old German became the oldest woman to reach a WTA 500 final with a stunning 6-3 7-6 (7-3) victory over Australian Open winner Madison Keys in the last four.
The mother-of-two arrived at Queen's on a nine-match losing streak but has beaten three top-20 players on her way to Sunday's showpiece.
"You always have to keep going. You never can stop, [it] doesn't matter how it goes," world number 86 Maria said.
"I love to play tennis, I love the sport and we live for these special moments - that's why it's amazing."
American eighth seed Anisimova beat Olympic champion Zheng Qinwen 6-2 4-6 6-4 in a gruelling match to reach a first grass-court final, according to a BBC news.
Both players will now bid to become the first women's singles champion at Queen's for 52 years.

Burns leads US Open by one heading into final round
Oakmont (US), June 15 UNI) America's Sam Burns will take a one-shot lead into Sunday's final round of the US Open after a terrific finish to the third round here. The 28-year-old world number 22 carded three birdies and two bogeys in his one-under 69 as he maintained his overnight lead and moved to four under par on Saturday. Playing partner JJ Spaun was level with Burns for much of the round but bogeyed the final hole to end the day as he started it, one shot back. Alongside Spaun at three under par, 2013 Masters champion Adam Scott made a decisive move on the back nine to stake his claim for a second major title at 44 years old. The only player in the top 10 to have previously won one of golf's biggest four tournaments, the Australian birdied the 13th and 14th holes before draining a 15-foot birdie putt on the 17th to briefly tie the lead, according to a BBC news. His round of three-under 67 was joint best in the field - alongside Mexico's Carlos Ortiz who improved to level par - and earned him a spot in the final group on Sunday. Norway's Viktor Hovland remains a threat. He hit two trees and a flagstick on his way to a level-par 70 and produced a wondrous shot out of the rough on 17 to find a bonus birdie. England's Tyrrell Hatton and Scotland's Robert MacIntyre both impressed in their search for a first major title and are at one over and three over par respectively. World number one Scottie Scheffler carded his best round of the week, a level-par 70, but is eight shots off the lead, while Rory McIlroy hit a 74 to fall to 10 over. UNI BM

China's young artistic swimmers make a splash at home World Cup
With the World Aquatics Artistic Swimming World Cup Super Final having concluded in Xi'an on Sunday, host China dominated, winning seven of 11 events. China secured the team acrobatic title in the final discipline, adding to a silver and bronze medal won earlier in the day, reports Xinhua. Reigning Olympic champions in both duet and team events, China's team has been in a transitional period since the 2024 Paris Olympics, with veteran and younger athletes working together. Rising star Xu Huiyan, 19, has established herself as one to watch with exceptional technical skills and remarkable consistency. The teenager delivered a spectacular performance in Xi'an, claiming five gold medals from six events entered. After winning the women's solo technical and duet technical over the previous two days, Xu took a bronze in the solo free on Sunday and was also in China's winning line-up across three team events. The tight schedule tested her endurance. "The intensity of this competition was quite high for me, with a packed schedule from morning till night," she revealed. "With better stamina, I could have controlled my movements and techniques more precisely and stayed more focused. But when my energy runs low, like today, it really affects my performance." Her coach, Shen Yingsha, had initially been concerned about Xu's stamina, given this was her first time competing in multiple events, "Her performance exceeded expectations," said Shen. In the final, Vasilina Khandoshka scored 229.8476 to win the women's solo free, while Germany's Klara Bleyer came second in 227.5688. Xu placed third in 226.5251. Having started artistic swimming at seven, Xu loves the sport, and has prepared extensively for next month's World Championships. "During regular training, I practice for about eight to nine hours daily. If the session doesn't go well, I may extend it to ten hours," she said. On Saturday, Xu partnered with Lin Yanjun to win the women's duet technical event despite having only trained together for three weeks. Their dynamic routine earned an outstanding 289.6150 points, 8.1841 points ahead of Japan's decorated duo Moe Higa and Tomoka Sato. The new pairing was a strategic decision by head coach Zhang Xiaohuan, who led China to Olympic success last year in Paris. "We're testing different duet configurations before locking in our final pairs - it keeps everyone sharp and motivated through healthy competition," Zhang explained. The veteran coach sees even greater potential in Xu. "As one of China's top artistic swimmers, Huiyan can still elevate her performance, particularly in achieving more fluid extensions and refining the delicate precision of her leg movements. She has the potential to be even better." The 22-year-old Lin sisters, Yanjun and Yanhan, later reunited to claim gold in the duet free event. China won the duet event at the Paris Olympics thanks to twin sisters Wang Qianyi and Wang Liuyi, who did not compete in Xi'an. "Compared to Qianyi and Liuyi, we have so many things to improve," admitted Lin Yanjun. "We are still not as good as them." China's dominance extended to all three team events, where a balanced squad featuring four Olympic veterans and four newcomers delivered consistently strong performances. Their Terracotta Army-inspired routine in the team acrobatic on Sunday earned them 233.0430 points for the gold medal. Spain and Mexico ranked second and third respectively. "They are fantastic," said Zhang. "Both the veteran swimmers and the young swimmers performed very well. I'm very happy about the three team gold medals." The men's artistic swimming also caught spotlight with 17-year-old Guo Muye continuing his rapid ascent. Guo started artistic swimming at eight and his idol is China's famed artistic swimmer Shi Haoyu, two time mixed duet world champion with partner Cheng Wentao. "I was selected by coaches while training in competitive swimming," Guo recalled. "At that time, there were very few men practicing artistic swimming. My family gave me big support." Guo's family traveled from Beijing to Xi'an to cheer him on. "My father, aunt, uncle and little sister are all here supporting me," said Guo, whose twin brother, Guo Muxi, is also an artistic swimmer. Guo claimed one gold and three silvers in Xi'an, including victory in the men's solo free. On Sunday, he and Liu Jinhan secured the mixed duet free silver with 275.0896, over 15 points behind Spain's duo Dennis Gonzalez and Iris Tio, who won the discipline with 290.2184. Showing self-awareness, Guo acknowledged areas for growth. "My strength lies in the smooth execution of technical elements, but I still need to improve my artistic expression, which remains a weaker area," he said. Zhang expressed satisfaction with the younger swimmers' performances but added that there was much still to improve on. "We've identified weaknesses but also potential. Going forward, we'll focus on strengthening team cohesion and perfecting our synchronized execution," she said. "Competing at home in this pre-worlds event has given us much confidence - the perfect warm-up before the world championships," the coach added.

Taylor Fritz Downs Alexander Zverev To Secure First Title Of Year
Taylor Fritz defeated Alexander Zverev in straight sets in a rain-hit final in Stuttgart on Sunday to win his first ATP title of the season. The American eased to a 6-3, 7-6 (7/0) victory despite being held up by a lengthy rain delay early in the second set. Fritz has now won his last five meetings with Zverev and is set to climb to fourth in the world rankings, a place behind the German. Last year's US Open runner-up lifted his first trophy since winning in Eastbourne 12 months ago, also on grass. Top seed Zverev is still waiting to win the first grass-court title of his career and he has never even reached the quarter-finals of Wimbledon, which gets under way on June 30. Fritz moved into a one-set lead courtesy of a break in the eighth game. He missed the only break point of the second set but raced through the tie-break, winning the last 11 points of the match.
