"Its definitely a good feeling to win the week before Wimbledon," Lopez said. "Conditions were so tough but we did our best. Hopefully at Wimbledon we can play a better match."

So that was my game plan." Hampton was the first qualifier to reach a WTA final this year, and was attempting to become the first qualifier to win a title since Russias Ekaterina Makarova at Eastbourne in 2010. She will be ranked on Monday as the third American behind Serena Williams and Sloane Stephens. Hampton and Stephens will clash in the first round at Wimbledon. ' ' '
