PLAYERS OF THE WEEK: Tatjana Maria/GER and Elise Mertens/BEL
...if it feels like we've been here before, well, it's because we have. Sort of. Only the last time Maria took the tennis world by storm it was on the grass of *Wimbledon* rather than a bit farther away in London in the first Queen's Club women's event since 1973.

The 37-year old German, a mother of two (the oldest of which is just six years younger than the champion of this week's 125 in Ilkley), went from qualifier to champion on the strength of her confounding slice-and-dice game that set some of the best players in the world back on their heels as they were *also* just getting used to the clay-to-grass transition.

In 2022, Maria reached the Wimbledon semifinals, upsetting three seeds (#26 Cirstea, #5 Sakkari and #12 Ostapenko) before taking another (#3 Jabeur) to three sets a round short of the final. The German has reached just one other major 3rd Round in her other 45 major MD appearances (and gone just 3-11 in slams since the '22 WI), and last week lost in the 1st Round on the grass at Birmingham vs. Valentina Ryser (a Swiss ranked outside the Top 200), but that doesn't mean she's not a potential nightmare waiting to happen for any unsuspecting (or even suspecting) opponent if her game is on point.

After getting through qualifying in London, Maria's most difficult remaining encounter turned out to be a 2nd Round match vs. fellow creative monster Karolina Muchova (currently playing w/ a one-handed backhand due to injury), as the German trailed the Czech by a set and a break (at 3-0) before turning things around. Otherwise, the likes of Leylah Fernandez, Elena Rybakina, Madison Keys and, in the final, Amanda Anisimova all went down in straight sets as Maria strung together four consecutive Top 20 victories to take the title.

Maria, who turns 38 in less than two months, is the fourth-oldest WTA singles champ in the Open era, and the oldest since Serena Williams won her final career title in Auckland in 2020.



The result improves Maria's career WTA final record to 4-0, and gives her a second grass crown (w/ '18 Mallorca).

Meanwhile, if things went supremely well for Maria at Queen's Club, how does one describe Mertens' run at Rosmalen? Fated, maybe?

The Belgian has put together a sneaky good '25 campaign, coming into the week with two singles finals (1 title) and WD finals (w/ V.Kudermetova) in Madrid and Rome. Ranked at #25 heading into the week, Mertens was close to being the fifth woman -- w/ Paolini, Andreeva, Shnaider and Ostapenko -- ranked in the Top 20 in both singles and doubles.

Mertens mowed through the competition early on in 's-Hertogenbosch, defeating Viktoriya Tomova 4 & love, Maria Sakkari 3 & love and Yuan Yue love & 4. Then came Ekaterina Alexandrova, who led Mertens 6-2/5-3 and held *eleven* MP before the Belgian was able to force a 3rd set, during which she then had to rally from a break down mid-set to reach her 16th career tour final, the first on grass.

Mertens rode her good vibes to the title, taking down Gabriela Ruse 6-3/7-6 to win her 10th career tour-level singles crown.



The title won after facing eleven MP is the most by any women in the 2020s, and apparently the most in the Open era by *any* woman. But, of course, after what happened with Zhang Shuai's "record" losing streak a while back I wouldn't be surprised if the WTA eventually found at least another that tops Mertens' accomplishment *somewhere* in the 50+ year history of the tour (or even prior to that).
===============================================



RISERS: Amanda Anisimova/USA and Gabriela Ruse/ROU
...Anisimova had a fine run in the return of the women's competition at Queen's Club, outlasting Jodie Burrage in three sets in her '25 grass court opener, and then following up with wins over Sonay Kartal and back-to-back Top 10ers in Emma Navarro and Zheng Qinwen (Anismova's victory over Navarro prevented the first match-up between those two since last summer's Olympics) to reach her second final of the season and first of her career on grass.

She had a chance to complete a Career Surface Slam if she'd taken her first grass crown (to go along w/ wins on hard and clay) but, you know, Tatjana Maria. Like the big hitters that had come before her, Anisimova couldn't figure out a way to outduel the German's array of slices made even more lethal by the lawns, falling 3 & 4.

Anisimova will still edge up to a new career high of #13.



At Rosmalen, Ruse joined Maria as the second player this week to go from qualifier to finalist in a tour-level event. The Romanian posted wins over the likes of Bianca Andreescu and Elisabetta Cocciaretto to reach her first WTA final since doing so at home in Cluj in 2023. Ruse had never before reached the semis of a grass event.

Against Elise Mertens in the title match, the fourth of her tour career, Ruse staved off BP to stay alive late in the 2nd and ultimately force a TB, but the Belgian put away her kissed-by-fate title run in the Netherlands in straight sets.
===============================================



SURPRISES: Elisabetta Cocciaretto/ITA and Carson Branstine/CAN
...one might not necessarily think of grass courts when Cocciaretto's name comes up, as 13 of her 16 pro singles finals have come on clay (and none on grass). But the return of grass court tennis surely did spark the Italian's best result of the season this past week at Rosmalen, a semifinal result that was her first at tour level since Birmingham during *last* year's grass court stretch.

Cocciaretto posted three wins in the Netherlands, a pair of bookend victories over home players, Arianne Hartono and Suzan Lamens, that sandwiched another against Bernarda Pera. A first career grass final slipped through the Italian's fingers against Gabriela Ruse, as the Romanian won in three.

Cocciaretto has her fair share of good memories at SW19, as well. She posted her maiden slam MD win at Wimbledon in 2022, then returned to the AELTC a year later and reached the 3rd Round.



Branstine traveled a long and winding road to get to her tour-level MD debut this week at Rosmalen. California-born, she's played for both the U.S. and (now) Canada, and was a junior star, winning a pair of girls' dobules majors (AO/RG) alongside Bianca Andreescu in 2017. After committing to play college tennis at USC, she never hit the court as a Trojan due to injury, nor as a Cavalier (for the same reason) after transferring to Virginia. She finally played at the NCAA level for two years at Texas A&M, helping the Aggies claim the women's team championship last year.

Finally with some better health, Branstine started to add some good pro results to her ledger last season, reaching six ITF finals since the start of '24, and winning four titles. In February, she reached her biggest career title match in a 125 in Cancun (a loss to E.Arango).

At Rosmalen, she made her way through qualifying with wins over Jule Niemeier and Yuan Yue (the latter would reach the QF as a LL) to make her WTA MD debut, where she opened with a Top 20 victory in the 1st Round over #1 seed and defending champion Liudmila Samsonova.

In the 2nd Round, Branstine fell to fellow qualifier Gabriela Ruse, who'd go on to reach the final, but will climb from #232 to #195 on Monday, returning to the Top 200 after having set her career high (#190) just a few weeks ago.

Branstine's memorable week even included a good natured encounter with a tennis fan who joked about the inconceivable reality that anyone could actually have a name as improbable as "Carson Branstine" (or "Peyton Stearns," for that matter)...


===============================================
VETERAN: Rebecca Marino/CAN
...the 34-year old didn't match her career best title in a 125 in Midland last November, but the Canadian returned to the final in her attempt to defend her Ilkley grass court title from a year ago (when it was a $100K).

After posting a QF victory over Alex Eala in which she needed six MP to put away a 1-6/6-0/7-6 battle, Marino took out young Swiss Celine Naef before finally coming up short vs. Iva Jovic in the final.

Despite her success in this particular grass event, Marino has won just one MD match at Wimbledon. That came back in 2011, with 1st Round exits following in her most recent SW19 MD appearances in 2022-23 (and an opening round loss last year in qualifying).


===============================================



FRESH FACES: Iva Jovic/USA and Diana Shnaider/RUS
...17-year old Jovic continues to climb the tour ladder, and her win on the grass in the Ilkley 125 this weekend pushes her ranking up nearly 30 spots to a new career high of #89. She's the youngest player ranked in the Top 200.

In Ilkley, the Bannerette claimed the title with a 6-1/6-3 victory in the final over Canadian veteran Rebecca Marino, the defending champ, picking up her biggest career crown with the win on the grass to top her previous best (on clay) in a $100K in April. She won a $75K on hard court last September.



Jovic has yet to make her Wimbledon MD debut, but last year won the girls' doubles alongside Tyra Caterina Grant. Since then she's posted women's 1st Round victories at the last three majors, with her last two runs coming to an end at the hands of Elena Rybakina.

Meanwhile, after a bonanza of a first full season on tour in '24 (four titles on three surfaces, plus an Olympic Silver medal in doubles), Shnaider had a lot to live up to this year. While the first half of 2025 hasn't exactly been a step *forward*, and her coaching search continues (another short-term trial has just begun), the Hordette has remained front and center on the WTA stage.

Even while she opened the season at 7-8 on hard court before finally beginning to get her head above water during the clay season (8-5), Shnaider still managed to post a 3rd Round result at the AO (she's reached the 3r+ at three of the last four majors), posted 4r/QF results in Madrid/Rome and climbed as high as #11 in singles; while in doubles she's teamed with Mirra Andreeva to win two titles, including her first 1000 crown in Miami. She's perched just outside the Top 10 in *both* singles and doubles.

Shnaider's trip to Queen's Club saw the Russian further start to pick up the pace of her success, reaching the QF with victories over Magdalena Frech and Katie Boulter, the latter a two-time Nottingham champ, before taking Madison Keys to a 3rd set before finally going out to this year's AO winner.

In doubles, teaming with Anna Danilina, Shnaider played into the final but came up short of her third '25 WD title when the duo lost a 10-4 MTB to Muhammad/Schuurs.



Of course, the next big question for Shnaider will be whether or not she's found a suitable all-white bandanna for Wimbledon after having to go without her signature wardrobe piece a year ago because she couldn't final a "legal" item with the appropriate fit/feel.
===============================================



DOWN: Ons Jabeur/TUN
...there was a time, not that long ago, that Jabeur seemed to be the player "waiting on deck" to be the next slam champion. A lot can change in a few years, though. At this moment in time, with Jabeur having battled through injuries for multiple seasons and now having reached what is clearly the late stage of her career, it feels like it would take some sort of SW19 miracle for the Tunisian to crawl out of the field at Wimbledon and truly contend for the major title that has tantalizingly slippled through her fingers.

A two-time grass court champ ('21 Birmingham, '22 Berlin), Jabeur reached back-to-back Wimbledon finals in 2022-23, in the latter run knocking off the likes of Kvitova, Rybakina and Sabalenka in consecutive matches.

Jabeur enters this year's grass court stretch ranked outside the Top 50, with a 2-8 record since a win over Sofia Kenin earlier this season that put her in the Doha QF, part of what was an 11-4 start to the season.

Jabeur failed to play her way into the Berlin MD this weekend. After barely escaping Elsa Jacquemot in the opening round -- after rallying from 4-2 in the 3rd before saving two MP en route to taking a 13-11 TB win on her own fifth MP -- she fell to Wang Xinyu in three sets, winning just one combined game in the 1st and 3rd sets she dropped against the Chinese woman.

Jabeur *will* get a second chance, though, as she made her way into the 1st Round as a lucky loser and will face Caroline Dolehide.
===============================================
ITF PLAYER: Mayar Sherif/EGY
...the Egyptian veteran added a $100K challenger win in Biarritz to the 125 event title she picked up last month and additional $100K crown in April, enough to lift her 20 spots on Monday and back into the Top 100.

Sherif defeated 19-year old Tiantsoa Sarah Rakotomanga Rajaonah (in the Pastry's biggest final) 7-5/6-4 to claim the honors, running her career singles title total to 20 (1 WTA, 8 125, 11 ITF).


===============================================
JUNIOR STAR: Victoria Barros/BRA
...at RG, 15-year old Barros (jr. #23) reached the 3rd Round after an upset of Jana Kovackova. On the dirt in Bamburg (GER) this past week, the Brazilian claimed her first career J300 win with a 1-6/6-4/6-3 victory in the final over Eva Bennemann, who'd arrived after winning the girls' doubles in Paris.



Barros reached a J500 SF in Offenbach in April, and a J300 semi in March.
===============================================
DOUBLES: Asia Muhammad/Demi Schuurs (USA/NED) and Irina Khromacheva/Fanny Stollar (RUS/HUN)
...already winners together earlier this season at Indian Wells, Muhammad & Schuurs were crowned the first Queen's Club doubles champions since 1973 (Rosie Casals & Billie Jean King) in London, defeating the top seeded team of L.Kichenok/Routliffe in the semis before winning a 10-4 MTB in the final vs. #2 Anna Danilina & Diana Shnaider to take the crown.

For Muhammad, career WTA win #13 is her first on grass since her maiden title run at Rosmalen in 2015; while Schuurs' 21st tour title comes in a final at her fifth *different* WTA grass event (8th overall). The Dutch veteran has played in the finals of Rosmalen (2), Birmingham (2), Eastbourne (2), Berlin (1) and now London, lifting the trophy three times.



At Rosmalen, Khromacheva & Stollar won a 10-8 MTB in the semifinals, then handled Nicole Melichar-Martinez & Liudmila Samsonova 7-5/6-3 in the final to claim their first career tour title as a pair.

It's career title #5 for Stollar, a RU in Hobart in January with Monica Niculescu, while it's #9 for Khromacheva. This was Khromacheva's first grass final, in singles or doubles, in her pro career after 102 combined title matches on either hard or clay courts. Oddly enough, the Russian *did* have success on the grass as a junior, reaching the Wimbledon girls' singles final in 2011 (a loss to Ash Barty) and the GD at SW19 in 2010 (w/ Elina Svitolina).


===============================================









kosova-font



1. Rosmalen SF - Elise Mertens def. Ekaterina Alexandrova
...2-6/7-6(7)/6-4. Alexandrova is a two-time Rosmalen champion (2022-23), but she still couldn't put away Mertens with a third 's-Hertogenbosch final appearance on her racket.

The Russian led 6-2/5-3, and had five MP on serve at 5-4, then five more on serve at 6-5. MP #11 came in the 2nd set TB. But Mertens saved all eleven (ten via Alexandrova errors), then erased a break deficit at 4-3 in the 3rd as she swept the final three games en route to what would be her tenth career WTA title.


============================================



2. London Final - Tatjana Maria def. Amanda Anisimova
...6-3/6-4. Maria finishes off her fourth straight Top 20 win, to become the fourth-oldest WTA singles champion, the oldest -- to continue an ongoing theme -- since (guess who) Serena Williams in Auckland in 2020.


============================================
3. Rosmalen 1st Rd. - Carson Branstine def. Liudmila Samsonova
...6-4/5-7/6-1. Defending champ and #1 seeded Samsonova goes out in the opening round at the hands of #231-ranked Branstine, the former junior and college star who has battled through years of injuries to finally make her tour-level MD debut with this match.



Samsonova rebounded to reach the doubles final alongside Nicole Melichar-Martinez.
============================================



4. London 2nd Rd. - Emma Navarro def. Beatriz Haddad Maia
...1-6/7-6(4)/6-3. Over the past two months, Navarro and Haddad Maia have engaged in a trilogy of very different encounters.

In Stuttgart, Navarro won handily by a 3 & love score. Haddad Maia got her revenge in Strasbourg, turning away the Bannerette, who'd served for the match in the 2nd set. In Part III, the Brazilian held a MP on return at 5-4 in the 2nd before Navarro forced and won a TB to level the match, then put Haddad Maia away in the decider.


============================================
5. Rosmalen Final - Elise Mertens def. Gabriela Ruse
...6-3/7-6(4). Mertens' maiden grass title adds her name to the list of 17 (give or take) active players who've won titles on hard court, clay and grass.

The 17 comes about when you include the likes of Caroline Garcia (set to retire), Sabine Lisicki (last seen on maternity leave), Caroline Wozniacki (ditto), Karolina Pliskova (she's Czech, so she's been injured), Vera Zvonareva (maybe retired, maybe not) and Venus Williams (???).


============================================



6. Grado 125 SF - Barbora Palicova def. Dominika Salkova 6-2/6-4
Grado 125 SF - Tereza Valentova def. Petra Marcinko 6-2/6-1
Grado 125 Final - Tereza Valentova def. Barbora Palicova 6-2/4-6/6-1
Grado 125 WD Final - Quinn Gleason/Ingrid Martins def. Veronika Erjavec/Dominika Salkova 6-2/5-7 [10-5]
...a week after 19-year old Sara Bejlek's 125 title run, still more Crushers (ages 21, 20 and 18, respectively) were crushin' it in Grado, with three reaching the semifinals and Valentova winning her biggest career title so far.

After not reaching the singles final to make it an all-Czech face off, Salkova played into the doubles final instead.


============================================
7. $75K Ceska Lipa CZE Final - Laura Samson def. Carolina Alves
...2-6/6-2/6-3. Meanwhile, back home, another Crusher won her biggest career challenger final, as 17-year old Samson picked up pro title #4.

Samson played Tereza Valentova in last year's RG junior final, and won the '23 Wimbledon girls' doubles with another fellow Czech, Alena Kovackova.


============================================
8. London 1st Rd. - Rebecca Sramkova def. Barbora Krejcikova 6-4/6-3
London 1st Rd. - Beatriz Haddad Maia def. Petra Kvitova 2-6/6-4/6-4
London 2nd Rd. - Tatjana Maria def. Karolina Muchova 6-7(3)/7-5/6-1
...it's a good thing the younger generation is making a collective move, considering the questionable status of most of the Czech holdovers.

Krejcikova lost in her first grass match since winning Wimbledon last summer, falling to 1-3 on the season; while Kvitova's post-maternity comeback has so far produced just one victory in seven matches.

Muchova is playing, which is saying *something*, but she's doing so with an injury that keeps her from hitting two-handed backhands. Against eventual champion Maria, in the German's most competitive match of the week, the Czech came back from 5-3 down to claim the opening set, and led by a break at 3-0 in the 2nd before Maria turned things up and never looked back.


============================================
9. Rosmalen 1st Rd. - Bernarda Pera def. Magda Linette
...6-2/6-7(10)/7-5. Pera led by a set and 4-2, twice served for the match in the 2nd, and held two MP in the 2nd set TB before Linette put away her fourth SP to extend the match. The Polish vet led 5-3 in the 3rd and served for the win at 5-4, but Pera turned the tables back in her favor by sweeping the final four games.
============================================
10. London 2nd Rd. - Zheng Qinwen def. McCartney Kessler
...6-3/4-6/7-5. Zheng ultimately reached her first grass court SF at Queen's Club, but she first had to dig out of a 4-1 3rd set hole in her opening match to get past Kessler.


============================================
11. Ilkley 125 1st Rd. - Mimi Xu def. Ana Konjuh
...6-3/6-3. Some good grass results for the 17-year old Brit (#369). After a week ago reaching the QF at the 125 in Birmingham (wins over Parks and Kawa), Xu gets an additional win over the Croatian vet before falling to fellow GB wild card Amarni Banks.


============================================
12. London 1st Rd. - Sonay Kartal def. Dasha Kasatkina
...6-1/3-6/6-3. A season after reaching the Wimbledon 3rd Round (the first British qualifier to do so at a major since 1997) with a pair of Top 50 wins at SW19, Kartal opens her '25 lawn season with a Top 20 win over Kasatkina.


============================================
13. Valencia 125 Final - Nuria Parrizas Diaz def. Louisa Chirico
...7-5/7-6(9). Four years younger than Tatjana Maria, 33-year old Parrizas Diaz reaches (and wins) her first '25 singles final. Last year, the Spaniard won two 125 crowns and a pair of $100K challengers.

Meanwhile, 29-year old Chirico, a Madrid semifinalist back in 2016 (she's posted just two wins in 1000 level events since), was playing in her first 125 final since 2015. She did win a pair of $75K titles in '24, though.


============================================
14. $15K Tashkent UZB Final - Laima Vladson def. Varvara Panshina
...7-5/7-5. A two-time J300 champion this season (and a J500 semifinalist), 17-year old Lithuanian Vladson wins her maiden pro title.

This was Vladson's ninth career pro event. Before her five wins over the past week, she'd combined to win five matches over the first eight tournaments.


============================================






kosova-font



1. Rosmalen 1st Rd. - Veronika Kudermetova def. Polina Kudermetova
...6-3/6-3. Earlier this season, after Polina opened the year at 10-1 while reaching the Brisbane final and qualifying at the AO, the younger Kudermetova briefly passed one time Top 10er Veronika as the highest ranked member of the family.

Since then, though, Polina has hit an prolonged rough patch, extended here with her big sister -- in their second meeting this season -- handing her her sixth straight defeat. Polina is 1-8 in her last nine, and 4-13 since her great start to the year.

Since January, things have "righted" themselves in the rankings, too. Veronika came into the week in the Top 40, while Polina was positioned at #62.
============================================
2. $50K Guimaraes POR Final - Francisca Jorge def. Matilde Jorge
...5-7/6-2/6-2. A week ago in a $50K final in Montemor-o-Novo, Portugal, it was younger sister Matilde who won the first-ever singles final contested between the Jorge siblings. This week in Guimaraes, older sister Francisca evened the score.
============================================
3. $75K Ceska Lipa CZE Final - Alena Kovackova/Ivana Sebastova def. Lia Karatantcheva/Aneta Kucmova
...1-6/7-5 [10-5]. Meanwhile, a Kovackova got the better of a Karatantcheva on the Czech dirt. It's Alena's fourth pro WD title, but her first without sister Jana by her side.
