Coco Vandeweghe advances to final of the bank of the west classic 2017

STANFORD, CA, USA
In the first career meeting between compatriots CoCo Vandeweghe and CiCi Bellis, it was the No.6 seeded Vandeweghe who advanced to the final at the Bank of the West Classic on Saturday, surrendering just four games in a 6-3, 6-1 semifinal victory.

The 25-year-old was runner-up to Serena Williams at the 2012 edition of the tournament, and has returned to the final without the loss of a set in four matches this week.

"I'm five years older, and hopefully I'm more mature," Vandeweghe said on-court when reflecting on her last appearance in the Stanford final.
