The Russian Daria Kasatkina won her seventh title on the WTA circuit on Saturday in Eastbourne by defeating the Canadian in the final Leylah Fernandez by 6-3 and 6-4.
Kasatkina, in just two hours, closed an amazing week with her first title on grass, after eliminating Emma Raducanu in the quarterfinals Jasmine Paolini in the semi-finals.
In this way, he broke a streak of five lost finals and added his first title since August 2022. In addition, he now has trophies on all three surfaces: grass, clay and cement.
With this title, the Russian rose two positions in the ranking and placed twelfth in the WTA ranking, four positions from her best result, when she was eighth in October 2022.
At Wimbledon, where her best result was the 2018 quarterfinals, Kasatkina starts as the fourteenth seed.
