Unseeded Ekaterina Makarova of Russia defeated Victoria Azarenka 7-6 (5), 6-4 at the Eastbourne International grass-court event Saturday to win her first career title.
The 22-year-old becomes the first unseeded champion at Eastbourne since American Chanda Rubin in 2002. She's also the first qualifier to win the title.
Makarova is the first qualifier to win a title on the WTA Tour since Alexandra Dulgheru in Warsaw last year.
