Not Tatjana Maria. On June 15, 2025, on the storied grass courts of Queen’s Club, Maria tore up the script and etched her name in history with a masterclass of tennis, becoming the first woman in over five decades to lift the Queen’s Club Championship trophy. And she did it not as a top seed, but as a qualifier. As a mother. As a force. A Run for the Ages Tatjana Maria’s path to the title was as improbable as it was poetic.

With Mercedes rising and momentum now in his corner, Russell sent a message loud and clear: He’s not done yet. Verstappen Hunts, Antonelli Arrives Max Verstappen gave it everything. But even with a lightning final stint, he couldn't reel Russell in. Post-race, Red Bull prote...
