An American woman is going to win the Italian Open, the only question is which one. Madison Keys and #1 Serena Williams both swept their semifinal matches on Saturday to advance to the final. Keys went the distance in the first set against #3 Garbine Muguruza of Spain but won the tiebreaker and a tight second set to claim the match 7-6(5), 6-4. Williams has yet to drop a set in the tournament and swept Irina-Camelia Begu of Romania 6-4, 6-1. No American woman had won a Premier 5 or higher tournament until this weekend.

In men’s doubles it’ll also be an all-American final, though a Canadian is also involved. #5 Bob Bryan and Mike Bryan needed the match tiebreaker to defeat Julien Benneteau and Edouard Roger-Vasselin of France in the semifinals but got the job done with a 6(5)-7, 6-2, 10-7 victory. #8 Jack Sock and Vasek Pospisil of Canada needed two set tiebreakers to defeat #6 Rohan Bopanna of India and Florin Mergea of Romania 7-6(4), 7-6(2). This if the first time into the finals at a Masters 1000 level event for the Bryan brothers this year while Sock and Pospisil finished second in Indian Wells.
