Sloane Stephens beat Venus Williams to reach US open finals.

Last night, 24-year-old Sloane Stephens beat 37-year-old Venus Williams to advance to the US Open Finals, 6-1, 0-6, 7-5.  That third set, in case you didn't see it, was one for the books.

After defeating the 7-time Grand Slam champion at New York’s Arthur Ashe Stadium (where she's in the Open for the very first time), she said, “If someone told me I’d reach two semis and a grand-slam final, I would’ve passed out.”

This is going to be her first major final game. Nice!

It was a close game, but Sloane came out as the winner and Venus was ever so gracious after the loss.  Sloane was equaly gracious while talking about her opponent.  We love the love!
