Madison Keys endured a grueling second-set tiebreak against ninth-seeded Russian Daria Kasatkina to win her second Rothesay International title 6-2, 7-6 (13) on Saturday in Eastbourne, England.
Keys sailed through the first set in 31 minutes, but she wound up in the tiebreak after both players dropped their final serves. The American had three match points and couldn’t convert, then fended off four set points before capturing the title on the fifth try of the one-hour, 13-minute set.
For Keys, the victory was the seventh singles title of her career. She won her maiden title at Eastbourne in 2014.
Keys, 28, moved to 9-2 head-to-head against Kasatkina. This was their first matchup on grass.
