Madison Keys wins the all-American final in Stanford.
Madison had to face an always dangerous Coco Vandeweghe for the title in California. Eventually, Keys won in straight sets 7-6 (4) 6-4 without conceding a single break point and after breaking Coco only in the 9th game of the second set.
Holding serve was CRITICAL. Keys
Soon after the match, Madison commented
“I just knew that if I kept hanging in on my service games, hopefully, I would have a chance to break.
I felt really calm, and I didn’t feel any nerves until like 30-0 in the last game serving. I kind of went in with feeling no pressure, in a weird way. She’s had an amazing season and lots of matches, and I just knew what I needed to do and kind of stayed focused on that.
It hasn’t been the easiest season, but it finally feels like I’m on the right track and feeling good about my tennis again. It feels amazing to have a title at home and on hard courts. I’m really, really happy that this is kind of the start of my US Open Series.”
This is Madison’s 3rd career title. Going for more
