American
Madison Keys powered to a 6-3, 6-4 win over Barbora Strycova in the
Aegon Classic final, only the second grass-court title of her career.
Strycova,
who was playing her 18th set of the week after reaching both the
singles and doubles finals, still had enough energy and tenacity to come
close to turning the second set around.
The
Czech player appeared poised to get back into the match when she earned
a break point in the eighth game of the second set, but Keys saved it
with a series of well-controlled and well-placed forehand drives
allowing the American to cruise to the title.
