Madison Keys roared past top-seeded Wimbledon champion Garbine Muguruza 6-3, 6-2 on Saturday to book an all-American WTA Stanford final against CoCo Vandeweghe. Keys, the third seed, needed just 57 minutes to subdue Muguruza, who claimed the second Grand Slam title of her career when she beat Venus Williams in the final at Wimbledon.
Keys ended Muguruza's nine-match winning streak, and reached her first final of 2017. She'll face fellow American CoCo Vandeweghe, who reached the final with a 6-3, 6-1 victory over CiCi Bellis. Although she was broken early in each set, Keys showed plenty of resolve in breaking back both times. She gained the decisive break in the opening set for a 5-3 lead and served out the set.
She then broke Muguruza as they opened the second set with three straight service breaks, and when Keys then held she had a 3-1 lead. She broke Muguruza one more time to make it 4-1 when the Spaniard knocked a forehand into the net. Firing on all cylinders on her own serve, Keys wouldn't face another break point, and finished off the match with a service winner.
