Madison Keys Triumphs with Third Eastbourne Open Victory

On Saturday, American Madison Keys clinched her third Eastbourne Open title by defeating Germany's Tatjana Maria 7-5, 6-4 at Devonshire Park, marking her 11th career WTA Tour victory.
Keys joins legends Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova as the only players to win the Eastbourne event three or more times, having first triumphed at the tournament in 2014.
The combined ages of Keys and Maria reached 69, making it the oldest women's singles final in Eastbourne history; Keys landed 58% of first serves and won 88% of those points.
Addressing Maria, Keys said, "First of all, amazing tournament, Tatjana, you and your team," and thanked her husband and team for their support throughout the event.
Keys will face fellow American Kayla Day in Wimbledon's first round, while the men's final between Zizou Bergs and Ugo Humbert was postponed to Sunday due to rain.
