(Reuters) -German qualifier Tatjana Maria capped an incredible week in London as she defeated American eighth seed Amanda Anisimova 6-3 6-4 on Sunday to become the first woman to win a title at Queen's Club in over half a century.

LONDON (AP) — Madison Keys was stunned in straight sets by 37-year-old qualifier Tatjana Maria in the Queen’s Club semifinals on Saturday. Maria, a German mother of two, beat Keys 6-3, 7-6 (3) for her first career victory in four meetings with the reigning Australian Open champion.

From packed crowds, British feel-good energy and 'Boultucanu' - how did the first women's Queen's event for 52 years unfold?

Visibility for women’s tennis and helping the push towards equality were major drivers of the event returning for the first time since 1973.

Amanda Anisimova became Tatjana Maria’s latest victim, losing to the German qualifier in the final of the new WTA 500 event at Queen’s on Sunday. World No. 86 Maria went on an incredible run this week, coming through qualifying and beating four top-20 players in a row to be crowned the champion at the HSBC Championships.
