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.
Bad Homburg
Italy's Lucia Bronzetti will meet Katerina Siniakova of the
Czech Republic in the final in Bad Homburg, Germany.
Bronzetti advanced in a walkover when World No. 1 Iga Swiatek of
Poland withdrew from their semifinal match due to an illness.
Siniakova had a much busier day. First she completed Thursday's
quarterfinal suspended by darkness, finishing off a 5-7, 6-4,
6-2 upset of No. 2 seed Liudmila Samsonova of Russia. Siniakova
then breezed to a 6-2, 6-2 victory over unseeded American Emma
Navarro in a 66-minute semifinal.
