MATCHES OF THE DAY
Venus Williams vs. Sloane Stephens; CoCo Vandeweghe vs. Madison Keys
The Stars and Stripes will fly on women’s semifinal day at the 2017 US Open, with all four members of the penultimate round hailing from the U.S.
First-time US Open semifinalist Sloane Stephens faces nine-time Open semifinalist Venus Williams to lead off the evening, a matchup of two players who have overcome a lot – foot surgery and an 11-month layoff for Stephens; Sjogren’s Syndrome for Venus – to advance to the semifinal round. Stephens, whose only other major semifinal came at the 2013 Australian Open, is in search of her first-ever Grand Slam final, while Venus is vying for her third Slam final of the year and her first major singles crown since Wimbledon 2008.
Good friends Madison Keys and CoCo Vandeweghe will close the evening, playing for the third time this summer. Keys won both earlier contests – in two tight sets in the Stanford final and in three sets in the first round in Cincinnati – and has the advantage of having played during the night sessions for each of her last three matches. But Vandeweghe is coming off one of the best wins of her career, over No. 1 Karolina Pliskova.
