EASTBOURNE, England -- Feliciano Lopez of Spain completed a successful title defence when he beat top seed Richard Gasquet of France 6-3, 6-7 (5), 7-5 in the Aegon International final on Saturday. Brad Daugherty Jersey . Its the first time the third-seeded Lopez has retained an ATP title, and the first time he has beaten Gasquet in their six meetings. Madison Keys earned her first career WTA title by beating Angelique Kerber of Germany 6-3, 3-6, 7-5 in the womens final. Playing in her first final, unseeded 19-year-old Keys became the first American to triumph since Chanda Rubin won back-to-back titles in 2002 and 2003, and she is the youngest American to win a singles title since Vania King in Bangkok in October 2006. Lopez held championship point against Grigor Dimitrov last week at Queens Club, and he is the first player to reach back-to-back grass-court finals before Wimbledon since 2001, when Lleyton Hewitt won at Queens and s-Hertogenbosch, and Thomas Johansson won Halle and Nottingham. There was little to separate him and Gasquet, with two breaks giving the Spanish left-hander the opening set, and Gasquet, the 2005 and 2006 champion, sneaking the tiebreaker in the second. In the third set, games went with serve until Lopez broke to lead 6-5 and then served out for the fourth title of his career. Kerber lost in the Eastbourne final for the second time - to Tamira Paszek in 2012 - and in a final for the third time this year after defeats in Sydney and Doha. She was seeking her first title came winning Linz in October 2013. "Im so incredibly happy," said Keys, who on Monday should be ranked in the top 30 for the first time. "You know, its one of those things where when youre training and you dont want to be there, youre tired or everything hurts, its one of those things where you think of this moment, and, you know, it really helps push you through all the hard times. "My serve was definitely a weapon today, and it really helped me through the entire time." Keys win came after she fired 17 aces and struck a serve clocked at 126 mph (203 kph), the fastest this year on the WTA tour, and if confirmed, would establish her as one of the top five fastest servers since records began in 1989. Most of the rallies were short and just one break of serve decided the first two sets, with Keys breaking to lead 3-1 in the first and Kerber 2-0 in the second. Games went with serve in the third until the dramatic 12th game. Kerber held two game points to take the set to a tiebreaker before Keys claimed victory on her fourth match point. "Its always not easy when somebody is serving like she did the whole match," Kerber said. "She played at a really high level." With Coco Vendeweghe winning at s-Hertogenbosch, two American women have won titles in the same week for the first time since February 2002. Two Spanish men also won titles on Saturday, with Roberto Bautista Agut winning his first title at s-Hertogenbosch. Custom Cavaliers Jerseys . -- Canadian womens amateur golf champion Brooke Henderson is a little less starstruck as she prepares for her second career appearance at an LPGA Tour major event. Larry Nance Jr. Jersey . Hes still nowhere close to throwing yet. The four-time MVP was in good spirits when he made his first public appearance on the field since having neck surgery Sept. http://www.authenticcavaliersauthority.com/kyle-korver-cavaliers-jersey-c-21/ . His fellow Finn, 21 years his junior, had just arrived in Anaheim and was hoping to stick with the Ducks.SAN FRANCISCO - Jed York is looking for a teacher in San Franciscos next coach, and the search for Jim Harbaughs successor entered its second week Monday with little indication of how soon the 49ers CEO will find his new man.The team is not confirming any interviews or acknowledging potential candidates, even internal faces such as defensive co-ordinator Vic Fangio or defensive line coach Jim Tomsula. Fangio interviewed last week, a person with direct knowledge of the meeting said Monday, speaking on condition of anonymity because the session wasnt made public.Patriots offensive co-ordinator Josh McDaniels spoke Monday of his interview with San Francisco, calling it an initial meeting that hasnt moved any further.Always obviously privileged that anybody wants to speak with you about anything like that, McDaniels said Monday. At this point Ive moved on and hopefully can help us put together a great plan for our guys heading into this week.The Niners interviewed Denver Broncos offensive co-ordinator Adam Gase on Friday in Colorado and have had a busy initial stretch.They were able to interview. All focus right now is on the Broncos and, yeah, its kind of a dead issue at this point, Broncos coach John Fox said Monday.The pressure is certainly on York to find someone who can win right away given Harbaughs immediate success. The 49ers ended an eight-year stretch without a winning record or playoff berth in his rookie season of 2011.I think what made Bill Walsh so successful was that he was a great teacher, whether that was players or whether that was other coaches, York said last week of the late Hall of Fame coach. And you look at his successful coaching tree. I think if you look in the 49ers Hall of Fame down the road, I want to say as of 2012 or 2013, 29 of the 32 coaches in the NFL had either a direcct or indirect relationship with Bill. LeBron James Cavaliers Jersey. Thats what made this organization so successful.Youre able to transition from one three-time-winning Super Bowl head coach to another two-time Super-Bowl-winning head coach and there were many other tentacles beyond that. What I want to make sure that we have is somebody that understands that level of teaching, he added. Understands how to get more out of less and continue to build an organization that wins both on and off the field.San Francisco also had been expected to meet with Seahawks defensive co-ordinator Dan Quinn last week during the defending Super Bowl champions playoff bye. Former Broncos, Raiders and Redskins coach Mike Shanahan was reportedly interviewed and has ties to the team as its offensive co-ordinator from 1992-94. Shanahan also met with the Bills about their opening and reportedly with the Raiders as well.The 49ers still had plans to meet with Arizona defensive co-ordinator Todd Bowles and Detroit defensive co-ordinator Teryl Austin. Bowles can be interviewed this week given the Cardinals season ended Saturday at Carolina.Fired Jets coach Rex Ryan also could be in the mix to replace Harbaugh, who was formally introduced as Michigans new coach last Tuesday. York called it a mutual parting of ways, though Harbaugh noted on multiple occasions, I work at the pleasure of the organization.San Francisco (8-8) missed the playoffs for the first time in Harbaughs four years following three straight trips to the NFC championship game and a three-point Super Bowl loss to Baltimore after the 2012 season.___AP Pro Football Writer Arnie Stapleton in Denver and AP Sports Writers John Wawrow in Buffalo, New York, and Howard Ulman in Boston contributed to this report.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Cheap Nike Buccaneers Jerseys Cheap Nike Packers Jerseys Cheap Nike Vikings Jerseys Cheap Nike Lions Jerseys Cheap Nike Colts Jerseys Cheap Nike Texans Jerseys Cheap Nike Jaguars Jerseys Cheap Nike Dolphins Jerseys Cheap Nike Patriots Jerseys Cheap Nike Jets Jerseys Cheap Nike Browns Jerseys Cheap Nike Broncos Jerseys Cheap Nike Chiefs Jerseys Cheap Nike Bengals Jerseys Cheap Nike Steelers Jerseys Cheap Nike Titans Jerseys ' ' '
