Madison Keys produced a dominant display as she beat Daria Kasatkina in straight sets to win the Eastbourne International for a second time.

The American, 28, triumphed 6-2 7-6 (15-13) as she lifted her seventh WTA title in one hour and 42 minutes.

Keys breezed through the first set and, although she missed championship points in a second set tie-break, she eventually closed out the contest.

It was Keys’ first WTA title success since the Adelaide 250 in January 2022.

Keys beat Angelique Kerber in three sets as a 19-year-old to win the 2014 tournament at Eastbourne – her first WTA title.
