Frenchwoman Marion Bartoli beat Petra Kvitova in a thrilling Aegon International final at Eastbourne to claim her first title in nearly two years.France's Bartoli, who like Kvitova had already negotiated a rain-delayed semifinal, showed the greater composure and stamina to triumph 6-1 4-6 7-5.Bartoli powered to the first set in fine fashion, breaking Kvitova twice.
And despite a below-par second set and hamstring injury scare, she recovered to claim victory in a nervy finale.Bartoli's last tournament win came in Stanford in August 2009 but that seemed certain to change as she saved three early break points and then broke her opponent to lead 3-1.
