'So much fun' for Kessler in winning first title on grass

MCCARTNEY Kessler was bursting with delight after capping off her time at the LTA’s Lexus Nottingham Open with a first title on grass following victory over Dayana Yastremska.

Kessler defeated the Ukrainian 6-4, 7-5 after a brief pause in play due to rain to add to an impressive résumé, with the title in Nottingham marking her fourth WTA tour success.

The result further adds to what has been a memorable month on grass for Kessler, with the American picking up her first win on the surface the week prior at the LTA’s HSBC Championships at Queen's when she downed Fran Jones en route to a second-round exit.

And having had a full taste of what the British grass court season has to offer, Kessler was delighted to add another jewel to her crown.
