Madison Keys Claims Third Eastbourne Crown

The win strengthens her grass‑court form and improves her ranking as she heads into Wimbledon.

Overview

  • Madison Keys defeated Tatjana Maria to win the Lexus Eastbourne Open, giving her an 11th WTA singles title and a third Eastbourne trophy.
  • Most reports list the final score as 7–5, 6–4, but at least one account records it as 7–6, 6–4, creating a minor discrepancy in published scorelines.
  • Tennis365 reports the title produced a net gain of 169 WTA points for Keys and moved her up to No. 22 in the rankings, and she earned $37,390 for the win.
  • The men’s final between Ugo Humbert and Zizou Bergs was postponed by rain and remains unscheduled, continuing Eastbourne’s pattern of weather disruption.
  • Keys’ third Devonshire Park victory places her alongside Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova as a three‑time Eastbourne champion and comes after the event was downgraded to a WTA 250, which affects points and prize structure.
