The American tennis is not achieving fantastic results for a long time on the men’s side, but it’s still rather prolific on the women’s.

Venus Williams and Sloane Stephens will play an all-American semi-final at the US Open after surviving a tight 3 setter in their quarters.

Venus Williams

The American won a tough quarter against Petra Kvitova. Venus was 1-3 down in all sets. In the opener, she won 5 consecutive games to change the scoreline from 1-3 to 6-3.  Venus wasn’t able to recover the 1-3 deficit in the 2^nd set, but she managed again to come back in the decider when she brought the affair to the breaker. Eventually, the world no.9 found the energy to win the contest 6-3 6-3 7-6 (2).

Sloane Stephens

Still ranked no.83, Sloane is finally finding her way back in the rankings after a series of injuries. The American reaches the US Open semi-finals after winning a huge battle against Anastaja Sevastova. After splitting the first two sets, the fight went down to the decider. Sloane managed to recover from a break-down deficit (1-3) to engage in a fierce dogfight that, after 3 more consecutive breaks, ended at the tie-break. Stephens held her nerves to win the match 6-3 3-6 7-6 (4).

The head to head

The head to head is 1-0 for Sloane that has defeated Venus in the French Open 1^st round in 2015 7-6 (5) 6-1. Unless Williams struggles with her energy, she should get the ticket to the final.
