The US Open 2017 women’s singles draw featured an all-American final four, with Madison Keys taking on CoCo Vandeweghe in one semifinal, and Sloane Stephens facing Venus Williams in the other. It was the first US Open since 1981 to feature an all-U.S. semifinal slate.
For Keys, the No. 15 seed, it was her second career Grand Slam semifinal, and her first in New York. Vandeweghe, seeded No. 20, was wrapping up a breakthrough year at the majors, in which she also reached the Australian Open semis and the Wimbledon quarters.
The semifinal showdown was a Keys masterclass. Her direct, power game nullified the athleticism and shotmaking that Vandeweghe leaned on to reach the final four, seeing her through to her first career major final, where she would fall to Stephens.
