Naomi Osaka’s Wimbledon preparations received a setback when she retired at the start of the second set in Saturday’s Bad Homburg final because of a foot injury.
The fourth-seeded Japanese player, in her first grass-court final, was trailing 6-1 1-0 to Karolina Muchova of the Czech Republic when she pulled out.
Keys wins third Eastbourne title
USA’s Madison Keys defeated Germany’s Tatjana Maria in straight sets 7-5, 6-4 in one hour and 35 minutes to win the Eastbourne Open for the third time in her career.
“It’s been such a special place for me to play here in Eastbourne,” Keys said afterwards.
“I won my first title here many, many years ago, so to win for a third time means the world to me. To do it in front of such amazing fans is the icing on the cake.”
