Eighth seed Amanda Anisimova will take on qualifier Tatjana Maria in the Queen’s Club Championships final, a matchup few predicted when the tournament began. This year’s London chapter has defied expectations, especially after Anisimova edged past top seed Qinwen Zheng in a gritty three-set semifinal, while Maria stunned second seed Madison Keys in straight sets.

Anisimova opened with a tough three-set win over wildcard Jodie Burrage, then cruised past Sonay Kartal and third seed Emma Navarro in straight sets. Maria’s dream run included straight-set wins over Leylah Fernandez and fourth seed Elena Rybakina, along with a three-set victory over sixth seed Karolina Muchova.

Amanda Anisimova vs. Tatjana Maria Preview

Anisimova’s season has been disrupted by illness and recurring injuries. After a quarterfinal in Hobart, she faced early exits in Melbourne and withdrew from Singapore. Her highlight came in Doha, where she claimed the title over Jelena Ostapenko.

Though she made deep runs in Charleston and the Paris 125K, both ended prematurely due to back and hip issues. She’s tallied 67 aces, won 63.1% of first-serve points, and converted 44.2% of break points.

Maria, meanwhile, has had a patchy year. Her strongest result was a round of 16 finish in Austin, followed by back-to-back quarterfinals in Puerto Vallarta and Copa Colsanitas, where she’s a former two-time champion.

Outside of those, most of her campaigns ended in the early rounds. Statistically, she’s produced 40 aces, won 60.4% of service games and 31.1% of return games, and converted 39.8% of break point chances.

Amanda Anisimova vs. Tatjana Maria Head-to-Head Record

Tatjana Maria leads the head-to-head against Amanda Anisimova, 1-0, though their only meeting came seven years ago in the 2018 Beijing qualifying rounds. Back then, Anisimova was a newly turned pro and fell in three sets to the experienced German. But much has changed since.

Now ranked a career-high No. 15, Anisimova has established herself as a force, highlighted by a French Open semifinal run in 2019 and a title win in Doha earlier this season. Maria, a crafty veteran, isn’t without her credentials either, boasting three WTA singles titles.

With both players bringing strong form into this high-stakes final, the stage is set for an intriguing clash of experience and firepower.

Anisimova enters as the clear favorite, thanks to her recent title in Doha and sharper overall level this season in spite of injury setbacks. Maria’s variety and experience can make things tricky, especially if the match stretches, but Anisimova’s power and shot-making should give her the edge.

Wow.
