Usa advances to final of the fed cup 2018. Sloane Stephens and Madison Keys. The best moments

Defending champions USA are through to their second successive Fed Cup by BNP Paribas Final, after Sloane Stephens and Madison Keys saw off Kristina Mladenovic and Pauline Parmentier respectively in Aix-en-Provence.

First Stephens utterly crushed Mladenovic 62 60 to make it two wins from two for her this weekend. Then, as widely predicted, Madison Keys came in for the originally-nominated Coco Vandeweghe; and it was Keys who sealed her team’s place in the final, seeing off another hugely spirited challenge from Pauline Parmentier 76(4) 64.
