NEW YORK, Sept. 7 (Xinhua) -- Americans Sloane Stephens and Madison Keys both made their first Grand Slam final at the US Open on Thursday, beating compatriots Venus Williams and CoCo Vandeweghe in respective semifinals.
Stephens, who missed 11 months with a left foot injury before returning in July Kúpit Panske Nike Shox OZ D Cierne , edged past the 37-year-old Williams 6-1, 0-6, 7-5, while 15th seed Keys made short work of Vandeweghe 6-1, 6-2 in just 66 minutes.
"I'm honored to be playing at the same time as her," said Stephens Panske Nike Shox OZ D Biele Najlacnejsie , whose ranking once stood outside the top 900 due to the injury.
"She is one of the greatest players, forceful and elegant, I have everything nice to say about her."
"I have no words to describe what I'm feeling, what it took to get here," added Stephens, who also earned back-to-back semifinals in August in Toronto and Cincinnati.
"I have no idea how my ranking came back so fast. If I had known how well I would do Kúpit Panske Nike Shox 807 Biele Modre , I could have passed out. I don't know how I got here, just hard work, that's it."
Seven-time Grand Slam champion and ninth seed Williams made 51 unforced errors which costed her the match.
"It was definitely well competed. In the end she won more points than I did and that's what it added up to," Williams said.
"Just made so many errors at the end. I wasn't playing well. Just wasn't playing well."
Williams will return to the top five next week for the first time since 2011.
The other semifinal was a different story and a lopsided match.
Vandeweghe seemed totally rusty compared to her opponent. She just hit nine winners and made 22 unforced errors while Keys' figures were 25 and nine.
"Madison played an unbelievable match. I didn't really have much to do with anything out there," the 25-year-old Vandeweghe said.

MAUI, the United States Panske Nike Shox Current Leather Cierne Najlacnejsie , July 31 (Xinhua) -- As differences on outstanding issues remain, the United States and 11 other economies participating in the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) negotiations failed to reach a final deal on the TPP Friday after wrapping up a four-day ministerial meeting.
"We have made significant progress" during this week's meeting, but there are still "a limited number" of difficult issues remaining to be resolved, U.S. Trade Representative Michael Froman said Friday at a closing press conference.
"Ministers and negotiators leave Hawaii committed to build on the momentum of this meeting by staying in close contact as negotiators continue their intensive engagement to find common ground," Fromam said, adding that "we are more confident than ever that TPP is within reach".
Optimism has grown in recent weeks that this week's meeting could be the final round of negotiations on the broad TPP agreement after U.S. Congress granted the trade promotion authority Kúpit Puma Fierce Core Kylie Jenner Mesh Biele , also known as the fast-track authority, to President Barack Obama.
That trade authority would allow the U.S. president to submit trade deals to Congress for an up-or-down vote without amendments, which is crucial for the swift congressional consideration of a TPP deal.
But this week's intensive negotiations were more difficult than people had expected, with key discrepancies in the areas of market access and intellectual property rights further postponing the finalization of the ambitious Asia-Pacific trade deal.
Froman said trade ministers will continue to engage in the coming period, but there's not an exact date set for the next round of negotiations.
The TPP, believed to be the world's biggest trade agreement in the past two decades that covers about 40 percent of global economic output Vypredaj Nike Air Force One Low 07 LV8 Sede , is central to the Obama administration's policy of advancing economic engagement in Asia and writing the rules for international trade and investment in the 21st century.
President Barack Obama is under pressure to seal the deal and get it passed in Congress as soon as possible, securing his trade legacy before the 2016 U.S. presidential campaign heats up.
The TPP talks involve Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Japan Nike Air Force One Low Leather Biele Lacne , Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, the United States and Vietnam.
