Madison Keys looked to be in US Open form early on Sunday at the WTA Tour’s Stanford tournament, beating American compatriot CoCo Vandeweghe 7-6 (7/4), 6-4 for her third career title. The 22-year-old Keys was pleased with the win after battling injuries this year which caused her to miss the first two months of the season following wrist surgery.
“It hasn’t been the easiest last couple of months, but this means a lot to me,” said Keys, who earned her first win of 2017.
Keys also said the victory will give her confidence going into the US Open, the last Grand Slam of the year which begins in three weeks in New York.
