Congratulations to Madison Keys winning her first title of the year at Strasbourg, and her first title on red clay, it is Keys eighth career title
Keys had a commanding win against fellow American Danielle Collins 61 62
Collins saved 4 championship points, Keys on her 5th chance won with a cross court fhand return winner
Keys returned well during the match especially on Collins 2nd serves
Despite losing Collins is projected to enter the Top Ten on Monday, well deserved after her great results so far this year

Keys has had an pretty decent clay court season losing to IGA in the past few weeks.

Since her shoulder problems this year, Madison has found her game on clay, hopefully she can take this good form into RG, she just has to watch her margins and play, aggressive controlled tennis, keeping her ufe low which is a must on clay

Madi did well today. She did to Banshee, what Banshee usually does to folks. It was impressive, but I've seen this from Madi before. She'll play well the week or two before a slam and then crash out at the big dance.

Very true.. if I had to have a player play a match with my well being at stake , Keys definitely wouldn't be that player.

Who knows maybe she finally figured out how to play the game of tennis!

Yes, Madison played a great match against Ms. Collins, but I would not be too much into that for the future. They have known each other since they are about 10 years old, so as a whole different dynamic going on their and Madison is one of the few who can match Miss Collins in terms of power and aggressiveness when she is on her again. Madison was on Saturday and Danielle was not necessarily off, but simply was not able to get into her groove. I think a lot of that has to do with the fact that they know each other for so long. If it is in the French open and they may, I will take Miss Collins to win.

Just looking at some up and coming grass tournaments,
To my surprise at Eastbourne, Karolina Muchova's name is on the entry list, hopefully her wrist has healed after having surgery earlier this year, her game translates well on the grass.
