German qualifier Tatjana Maria says it is a "dream come true" to reach the Queen's final after she stunned Australian Open champion Madison Keys in straight sets.
The 37-year-old became the oldest woman to reach a WTA 500 final with a 6-3 7-6 (7-3) victory over the American second seed.
The mother-of-two arrived at Queen's on a nine-match losing streak but has beaten three top-20 players on her way to the final.
She raised her arms in the air after securing victory and rushed over to celebrate with her husband and eldest daughter Charlotte, while youngest daughter Cecilia slept on in her pram.
