Daria Kasatkina saw off a spirited performance by Leylah Fernandez to win the Eastbourne International in straight sets.
The Russian sixth seed triumphed 6-3 6-4 as she secured her seventh WTA title in one hour 50 minutes at Devonshire Park.
Kasatkina, who lost to American Madison Keys in last year’s final, took control of the first set and closed out the match despite a brief fightback from the Canadian in the second set.
