Former champion Madison Keys will face No 9 seed Daria Kasatkina in the Rothesay International final Saturday in Eastbourne, England.

The unseeded Keys won her maiden title at the grass-court tournament as a 19-year-old in 2014. She advanced Friday with a 6-3, 6-3 upset against No. 5 seed Coco Gauff in just 81 minutes in an all-American semifinal.

Keys is 8-2 in her career against Kasatkina, who has won two of their last three meetings. The Russian reached the final by converting all seven break points in a 6-2, 7-5 victory against Italy's Camila Giorgi, who double-faulted 10 times.
