The final of the 2015 Family Circle Cup is set for Monday 3.00pm AEST at the Family Circle Stadium in Charleston between young tennis stars Madison Keys and Angelique Kerber.

Keys has not been broken this tournament and the American has thrived in the quick conditions, firing 26 aces so far.

She was dominant in her semi-final against Czech qualifier Lucie Hradecka, winning 83 percent of her first serve points while converting on three of six break chances.

Kerber battled back from a break down in the first set to defeat compatriot and defending champion Andrea Petkovic to book her spot in the final.

In a match that had its fair share of long rallies, Kerber relied on her forehand to hit winners cross court and down the line.

Although Keys was victorious in their last meeting, winning the Aegon International finals on grass last year in three sets, Kerber leads head-to-head 2-1. The American has benefited from a kind draw and I expect Kerber will be much tougher to crack.
