US Open 2017 has come to an end, with Rafael Nadal winning the men’s singles and Sloane Stephens taking the women’s singles title. Rafael Nadal faced South Africa’s Kevin Anderson in the finals and cruised through 6-3, 6-3, 6-4 match winning his 3rd US Open and 16th Grand Slam title. On the other side, Sloane Stephens also didn’t sweat too much against Madison Keys, winning the finals with 6-3, 6-0 to claim her first Grand Slam. Men’s doubles saw Jean-Julien Rojer and Horia Tecău ending on the winning side of the 6-4, 6-3 match against Spanish duo Feliciano López and Marc López. Chan Yung-jan and Martina Hingis defeated Lucie Hradecká and Kateřina Siniaková in women’s doubles finals clash.

This was the second Grand Slam title for Rafael Nadal, who previously won the French Open as well. The Spaniard rarely looked out of comfort in the tournament, never playing 5 sets during his road to the title and winning the likes of Andrey Rublev and Juan Martin del Potro. “For me personally, it’s just unbelievable what happened to me this year after a couple of years with some troubles: injuries, moments playing not good. From the beginning of the season, it has been very emotional.” – said Nadal after his win.

Unseeded Sloane Stephens celebrated an unlikely win against Keys and ended her comeback in a spectacular way. Stephens had to withdraw from US Open 2016 due to right foot injury, which eventually made take a break from tennis for 11 months. Sloane Stephens managed to defeat Dominika Cibulková, Anastasija Sevastova and Venus Williams on her road to the finals. “I had surgery in January and if someone had told me then that I would win the US Open, I would have said it was impossible. This journey has been incredible and I wouldn’t change it for the world.”- said Stephens after the match. By winning the US Open 2017, she became the first American women outside the Williams family to win a major’s single’s title.

The US Open 2017 women’s singles are turning out to be full of surprises. The latest one was directed by 20th seeded Coco Vandeweghe.She won the match against the top seeded and No. 1 ranked tennis player on WTA, Karolina Pliskova, and secured herself a spot in the US Open 2017 Semi-Finals. To make the feat more impressive, Vandeweghe finished the job in 2 sets, with the final score being 7-6(4), 6-3. The loss against Vandeweghe meant Pliskova will lose her top spot on WTA, which will go to Spain’s Garbine Muguruza.

Vandeweghe was ecstatic after the match saying: “When I won this event as junior at 16 I always dreamed of being on the main stage. It is a process and here I am. I couldn’t wish for anything better.“

Coco Vandeweghe’s victory meant she joined Venus Williams and Sloane Stephens in the semifinals. Everyone then waited for the outcome of the match between Madison Keys and Kaia Kanepi. Keys won the match with 6-3, 6-3 and ensured that there will be All-American semi-finals of US Open 2017. This is the first time since 1981 that there are all four American players in the final four of US Open.

Vandeweghe will face Keys in the first match of the semi-finals, while the second match will see the clash between Williams and Stephens. This means that only Venus Williams is left standing from the Top 10 seeded players in the US Open 2017.

Alongside Vandeweghe’s win against Pliskova, another major upset we saw in this year’s tournament is defending US Open champion and 6th seeded Angelique Kerber being defeated by Japan’s Naomi Osaka in the first round. This was the first time since 2005 that the defending champion didn’t make it past the first round.
