Tatjana Maria outwits Anisimova to complete Queen's Club fairytale aged 37
Tatjana Maria completed an extraordinary week of giantkilling in London by becoming the surprise first women's champion at Queen's Club in 52 years as she defeated Amanda Anisimova 6-3, 6-4. Maria, a 37-year-old German qualifier, is the oldest WTA 500 champion in history. Maria had arrived at Queen's Club on a nine-match losing run before building momentum from the qualifying draw and defeating four top-20 opponents in a row. Despite her poor form and lowly ranking of No 86, Maria has significant pedigree on grass, reaching the semi-finals of Wimbledon in 2022. Her tricky toolbox of varied shots is built for grass and she has befuddled a series of elite opponents with her ability to keep the ball incredibly low and slow. Her brilliant slices off both sides force opponents to generate their own pace. As was the case against Madison Keys, the reigning Australian Open champion, and the 2022 Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina, two of the biggest ball-strikers on the tour, Anisimova looked extremely uncomfortable from the beginning, spraying unforced errors and unable to find her range or rhythm. Alongside her disciplined, constant junkballing and the ease with which she drew Anisimova, another enormous ball striker, into uncomfortable positions on the court while exposing the one-dimensional nature of her game, Maria served and defended extremely well. Sign up to The Recap The best of our sports journalism from the past seven days and a heads-up on the weekend's action after newsletter promotion The grass-court season is notoriously short, but two of Maria's four career WTA titles have now come on the surface after she won her first career title at the Mallorca Open in 2018. After closing out an incredible win, Maria immediately sprinted over to her player box, where she embraced her husband, Charles-Édouard Maria, who is also her coach, and her daughters, 11-year-old Charlotte and four-year-old Cecilia.

Italy confirm World Cup winner as their new manager after ex-boss Luciano Spalletti announced his OWN sacking
Italy have appointed Gennaro Gattuso as their new head coach — just days after outgoing boss Luciano Spalletti stunned a press conference by announcing that he had been sacked. Gattuso, a World Cup-winning midfielder from Italy's 2006 triumph in Germany, was officially confirmed in the role on Sunday by the Italian Football Federation (FIGC), who hailed him as 'a symbol of Italian football'. The 47-year-old takes charge following a turbulent start to the Azzurri's 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign, which began with a dismal 3-0 defeat to Norway in Oslo last week. That loss prompted a swift decision behind the scenes — one which Spalletti himself disclosed in a remarkable news conference the following day. The former Napoli manager told reporters: 'Last night we were very together with president [Gabriele] Gravina. He told me that I will be relieved of my position as coach of the national team.' Despite being informed of his dismissal, Spalletti remained in charge for Italy's 2-0 win over Moldova on Monday — his final match at the helm. He left the job having overseen 12 wins, six draws and six defeats since taking over from Roberto Mancini in 2023. Gattuso now inherits a team short on confidence and identity. But he brings with him a wealth of experience — both on the pitch and on the touchline. As a player — known for his relentless energy, fierce tackling and emotional leadership — he earned 73 caps for Italy between 2000 and 2010. He played in three World Cups and was a central figure in Marcello Lippi's 2006 side that triumphed in Berlin against France. Since moving into management, Gattuso has had an itinerant career, coaching nine clubs in 12 years — including spells at Milan, Napoli, Valencia, Marseille and, most recently, Croatian side Hajduk Split. He left Hajduk by mutual consent earlier this month. His most successful stint came at Napoli, where he won the Coppa Italia in 2020 and recorded a win percentage of 56.79 per cent. In total, Gattuso has taken charge of 376 senior matches as a manager, winning 161, drawing 108 and losing 107, giving him an overall win rate of 42.82 per cent. Italian Football Federation president Gravina said: 'Gattuso is not only a World Cup winner — he's a fighter, a leader, and a symbol of Italian football. We believe he can transmit the spirit and identity this team needs.' Italy currently sit third in World Cup qualifying Group I, behind Norway and Israel. Moldova and Estonia are also in Group I. Gattuso's first match in charge will be at home to Estonia on September 5.
