Elena Vesnina has won the Aegon International women's singles title beating Jamie Hampton 6-2, 6-1 in the final at Devonshire Park on Saturday.

The Russian world No.36 was a comfortable straight sets winner, taking the title in an hour and 15 minutes on a windy Centre Court.

The champion said afterwards: "I'm pretty happy about my game today with these tough conditions. At the beginning of the match, I just needed to stay in it, just try to play every single point.

"It was not about good forehand or good backhand. It was just about fighting spirit. If you're able to handle this, if you're able to play under the pressure with this kind of wind, you will do well. I kept believing in myself. I knew that I'm going to win this title. I knew that it was going to happen.

"It's a pleasure to play here [in Eastbourne]. People really understand tennis, and they understand the rules. They help players to feel comfortable on the court."

After sharing the first four games the American stepped it up in game five forcing break points, but 26-year-old Vesnina held firm and the momentum shifted.

The Russian broke in the very next game as Hampton made unforced errors and Vesnina went on to dominate the match, winning eight of the next nine games.

The runner up said afterwards: "The conditions were definitely tougher than yesterday. She played the conditions much better than I did. I was surprised by how she was hitting the ball and on top of that she was playing very good tennis. She was very deserving of the title today."

"But I'm very proud of myself for fighting through all the adversity, having to come through quallies and fighting through all the conditions all week. Obviously I'm disappointed that I lost today and I would have loved to have won it, but on to the next tournament."
