Qualifier Makarova claims Eastbourne title.

Ekaterina Makarova became the first qualifier to triumph at Eastbourne with a 7-6(5) 6-4 victory over an injured Victoria Azarenka to claim her first WTA title.
Russian Makarova, ranked 100 in the world on arrival on the south coast, failed to drop a set en-route to the final and continued that fine form against Azarenka, who struggled with a knee injury from the off.
Azarenka enjoyed a fine 2009, claiming three tour titles alongside quarter-final appearances at the French Open and Wimbledon to climb to a career best ranking of six.
But, despite a last eight showing at the Australian Open in January, Azarenka has failed to replicate those heights in 2010, slipping to 15 in the world rankings.
And it was Makarova, who underlined her credentials with a semi-final victory over French Open runner-up Samantha Stosur, who set the pace in the opening exchanges.
Azarenka was in obvious discomfort as early as the second game and the pain was etched across the Belarusian's face as she struggled to serve and move around the court with her customary fluidity.
Makarova fought back from 3-0 down in her semi-final win but this time found the same score line reversed in her favour after breaking Azarenka's serve at the first attempt.
That sparked a battling Azarenka, fighting back the tears, into action and, at 3-5 down, the Russian pounced on her opponents nerves to win three games on the bounce.
However, after holding serve, Makarova regained her composure and opened up a 5-1 lead in the tie-break, sending down a succession of powerful serves before earning three set points.
Azarenka fought back to within one point but a fierce forehand to the baseline proved too much and Makarova closed out the opening set in 66 minutes.
In truth, Azarenka's tennis was badly hampered by her injury in the first set and the second was no better for the 20-year-old, who was clearly frustrated at not being able to compete.
But that is not to discredit Makarova, who played superbly throughout the tournament and seized the initiative in the second set, using the width of the court to take advantage of the situation and secure a break for a 3-2 lead.
Azarenka, refusing to retire, resigned herself to playing with power from the baseline and raced into a 40-0 lead in the following game and should have broken back but for the umpire missing Makarova playing a volley from Azarenka's side of the net.
And that mistake proved costly as Makarova fought back to consolidate the break.
Azarenka refused to give in, however, and earned a further two break points at the next opportunity - but again failed to take advantage, Makarova sealing the game with a fine backhand cross-court winner.
And, after Azarenka held her nerve to force her opponent to serve for the match, Makarova sealed the victory with a fierce volley at the net to pocket a cheque for $98,500 (£66,437).
