Aegon Classic: Madison Keys beats Barbora Strycova to lift title in Birmingham

The Aegon Classic is Madison Keys' first title this year

American Madison Keys beat Barbora Strycova in straight sets to win the Aegon Classic in Birmingham.

Keys' semi-final win over Carla Suarez Navarro on Saturday saw her move into the world's top 10 for the first time.

And she followed it up with a routine 6-3 6-4 victory over Czech Strycova, who finished runner-up for the second time in three years.

It was 21-year-old Keys' first title of the year and comes a week before the start of Wimbledon.
