Madison Keys clinched her second title win at the Eastbourne International on Saturday, triumphing over Daria Kasatkina in a hard-fought final that ended 6-2, 7-6 (15/13). The win marked Keys' seventh career title, with three of them coming on grass courts.
A photograph of Keys celebrating her win with her fiance, Bjorn Fratangelo, was captured by a photographer who shared it on Twitter, showing the American sharing a kiss with Fratangelo at the Devonshire Park Lawn Tennis Club.
Keys overcame the likes of Tereza Martincova, Wang Xiyu, and Petra Martic to earn her spot in the semifinals of the WTA 500 event. The 28-year-old faced compatriot Coco Gauff in the penultimate round, ultimately emerging victorious in a thrilling match.

Keys has been in a relationship with Fratangelo since 2017, and they have often been seen together at various tournaments, supporting each other's matches. The couple got engaged in March 2023.
