Wozniacki, 27, was winning her first title since claiming her maiden Grand Slam trophy earlier this year in the Australian Open. Wozniacki last won the Eastbourne tournament in 2009 the same year Sabalenka's coach Dmitry Tursonov won the men's title. "This means a lot, I forgot how heavy (the trophy) it is!
It is great I can still play at this level almost 10 years later," said Wozniacki, whose father and coach Piotr came on to the court twice to give her advice, says the victory sets her up nicely for Wimbledon, the only Grand Slam event in which she has never reached the quarter-finals.
