PARIS—Shortly after easily winning her French Open quarterfinal, Sloane Stephens wanted to track down her good friend Madison Keys, who advanced in straight sets earlier Tuesday. “I just went and searched for her in the training room.”Sloane Stephens did her part to guarantee that an American will be in the French Open women’s final. It is the first French Open semifinal between a pair of women from the United States since Serena Williams beat Jennifer Capriati on the way to the 2002 title. “That means one American will be in the final of a French Open, which is another amazing thing,” Stephens said. Stephens, 23, and Keys, 25, will quickly approach that sort of status if they maintain the form they’ve shown lately.
