Madison Keys secured her third Eastbourne title with a straight-sets victory over Tatjana Maria, winning 7-5, 6-4. This achievement places her alongside tennis legends Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova as one of the only players to win the women's tournament three times or more.

Keys, who first triumphed in Eastbourne in 2014—her inaugural WTA title—added her second title in 2023 and now her third in 2026.

I always forget how heavy this one is,

During the match, Keys showcased her powerful serve and aggressive net play, applying consistent pressure on Maria, the 2025 Queen's champion.

Key match highlights include:

• An early break in the first set, despite facing two set points.
• Keys recovered quickly after squandering opportunities, breaking back to take the set.
• In the second set, she broke Maria in the seventh game and closed out the match decisively, needing only one of her three championship points.

With this victory, Keys continues her impressive form in finals, having won her last five. Both players now look ahead to Wimbledon, with Keys facing compatriot Kayla Day, while Maria will compete against Yulia Putintseva from Kazakhstan.
