EASTBOURNE, England - Madison Keys, the 19 year-old tennis professional from Rock Island, Illinois, yesterday won her first career Women's Tennis Association title at the Aegon International Tennis Tournament in England.

Keys, who was unseeded in this tournament, was playing in her first final. She became the youngest American to win a singles title since Vania King did so in October 2006.

Keys now turns her attention to the Wimbledon Championships, the oldest tennis tournament in the world, which begin today at the All England Club in London.
