EASTBOURNE, England (AP) — American Madison Keys has prevailed in a marathon tiebreaker to win the Eastbourne International final, beating ninth-seeded Daria Kasatkina 6-2, 7-6 (13) for her second title at the grass-court tournament. The WTA said it was the second longest tiebreaker of the season so far. It was Keys’ seventh career title and third on grass. Keys beat seventh-ranked Coco Gauff in straight sets Friday in her first grass-court victory over a top-10 player since beating Angelique Kerber in the 2014 Eastbourne final. Tommy Paul couldn’t make it an American double as he lost the men’s final to fourth-seeded Francisco Cerundolo of Argentina in three sets.
