NEW YORK -- For a second straight year, a new American could be crowned the US Open women's champion.
Last year it was Sloane Stephens. This year it could be Madison Keys.
Keys, runner-up a year ago, proved too good for the No. 30 Carla Suarez Navarro on Arthur Ashe yet again. Keys has won all four matches the two have played, though this is the first time Keys walked away the winner in straight sets.
This is Keys' second consecutive US Open semifinal and her second Grand Slam semi of the year (She also made it to the semis at the French, where she lost to Stephens).
