In the final Stevens, a month ago were not in the top 900 WTA ranking unexpectedly defeated compatriot Madison keys. The decisive match lasted exactly one hour and ended in a decisive victory Keyes.
The key moment of the match came in the fifth game when the score was 2:2 Stevens made the break and never gave keys no chance to resume the fight. The offender Elina Svitolina in the second set gave six games in a row and was forced to settle for the status of finalist at the US Open.
Keyes is not able to cope with anxiety – Madison for 60 minutes, made 30 unforced errors and not implemented any of the three earned break-points. Stevens wisely gave the initiative to the keys, instead of having a huge number of light points.
“I was nervous. But when I went to court, it became much easier. It was good. I just tried to stay calm and run for every ball. That’s all. It’s very simple,” said Stevens at the ceremony.
Victory at the US Open brought Sloane Stephens $ 3.7 million in prize money and 2000 ranking points. Monday the American will be back in the top 20 and will occupy the 17th place in the WTA rankings.
