Eastbourne International: Jelena Ostapenko overcomes Anett Kontaveit in final as De Minaur takes men's title

Former French Open champion Jelena Ostapenko beat Estonian Anett Kontaveit 6-3 6-3 in the the final of the Eastbourne International to win her first WTA title for almost two years.

Ostapenko, who is Latvia's only Grand Slam singles title winner, took just 67 minutes to overcome the world number 27 for her first grass-court crown.

She became only the third wildcard to win the Eastbourne title.

Alex de Minaur beat Lorenzo Sonego 4-6 6-4 7-6 (7-5) in the men's final.

World number 43 Ostapenko said: "It's great to win a title before Wimbledon.

"I've enjoyed this week so much. I've got some confidence and now it's time I show some good tennis at Wimbledon."

Ostapenko, who hit 24 winners to Kontaveit's 17, won 78% of her first-service points and for the second successive match served no double faults.

Victory saw the 24-year-old emulate Monica Seles and Julie Halard-Decugis as wildcard entries to win the tournament.

In the men's final, Australia's second seed De Minaur recovered from losing the opening set to edge third seed Sonego and clinch his first title on grass, and fifth overall.

The 22-year-old is the first Australian to win the event.

Meanwhile, former Wimbledon champion Angelique Kerber won the Bad Homburg Open in her native Germany. The three-time Grand Slam winner and former world number one beat the Czech Republic's Katerina Siniakova 6-3 6-2.

It was Kerber's first tournament win in three years - since beating Serena Williams to win Wimbledon in 2018.

"I'm just happy to have finally won a tournament again," the 33-year-old world number 28 said.

Elsewhere, Russia's world number two Daniil Medvedev won his first grass-court tournament with 6-4 6-2 victory over American Sam Querrey at the Mallorca Championships.

"I'm happy to get this title, but I'm looking forward to the biggest challenge on grass, which is Wimbledon," he said.
