Taylor Fritz has once again proven his mastery on grass, securing his fourth Eastbourne title by defeating fellow American Jenson Brooksby in the final with a score of 7-5, 6-1. This victory marks Fritz's second consecutive title on grass after his triumph at Queen's Club the previous week. With this win, Fritz extends his record as the player with the most men's singles titles in Eastbourne, solidifying his status as the "undisputed king of Eastbourne".

The final saw Fritz initially struggle to find his rhythm, particularly on his serve. Brooksby seized the opportunity and broke Fritz's serve in the fifth game of the first set. However, Fritz quickly recovered, breaking back and eventually taking the first set 7-5. After a close first set, Fritz dominated the second, breaking Brooksby twice to secure a 6-1 victory. He displayed a commanding performance, racking up 21 winners and 8 aces throughout the match.

Fritz's path to the title was not without its challenges. He faced tough competition throughout the week, including hard-fought victories against players like Joao Fonseca, Marcos Giron, and Alejandro Davidovich Fokina. In the semi-final, he overcame Davidovich Fokina with a score of 6-3, 3-6, 6-1. Fritz's ability to consistently elevate his game as the tournament progressed was key to his success.

For Brooksby, reaching the final was a significant achievement. Entering the tournament ranked No. 149, he was far from his career-high of No. 33 in June 2022. His performance in Eastbourne will propel him back into the top 100, reaching No. 101. Despite the loss in the final, Brooksby can take pride in his successful week.

With his Eastbourne victory, Fritz has earned $132,572 from the tournament's prize pool. Brooksby, as the runner-up, received $77,311. Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool won the men's doubles title, earning $46,092.

Looking ahead, Fritz will carry significant momentum into Wimbledon, which begins on June 30. This victory marks his 10th career title and fifth on grass, placing him second among active players behind Novak Djokovic. Having reached the quarterfinals at Wimbledon in both 2022 and 2024, Fritz will be aiming for an even deeper run this year. He is also the first man to head to Wimbledon with two grass court trophies in the same season since Matteo Berrettini in 2022.

Fritz's impressive record at Eastbourne speaks for itself. Since 2019, he has won 17 out of 18 matches at the tournament, with his only defeat coming against Mackenzie McDonald in 2023. His connection with the Eastbourne tournament is undeniable.
