Queen's has hosted a women's tennis tournament for the first time since 1973 .

Tatjana Maria ended Olga Morozova's 52-year reign as women's champion at the venue.

Tournament director Laura Robson said there had been no complaints over the courts after a week of absorbing action.

Britain 's Katie Boulter said she had been "dreaming" about playing on the main court.

Queen's is one of the highest attendances for a standalone WTA event anywhere.

Over 66,000 tickets were sold for the women's tournament with the final three days sold out completely.

Ticket prices were lower in the WTA week , which will not yet be able to raise anything like the revenue of the long-established men's event.
