Trying to win the Family Circle Cup Championship was not an easy task. Madison Keys and Angelique Kerber battled it out for three sets. Both players were going for their first championship of 2015, first clay court title, and first American title. The first set went to Kerber 6-2 with Keys producing lots of unforced errors. After a coaching visit in the second set Keys came back from a 4-1 deficit to a 4-6 second set win. The third set went back and forth with Keys seeming close to victory but the in the end Kerber forcing errors and making some nice winners taking it 7-5 in the third set. Kerber is ranked 14 on the WTA and should move up at least one or two spots after the victory. Madison Keys was ranked 17 on the WTA.
The new rankings are out and Angelique Kerber stayed at 14 with 2865, while Lucie Safarova holds 13 with 2870 and Karolina Pliskova 12 with 2875. Those are some very narrow margins!
