- Published

Madison Keys is the first US woman to debut in the top 10 since Serena Williams in 1999
American Madison Keys will face Czech Barbora Strycova in the final of the Aegon Classic in Birmingham on Sunday.
Keys, 21, reached the final with a 3-6 6-3 7-6 (7-3) victory over Carla Suarez Navarro and in doing so broke into the world's top 10 for the first time.
Strycova, 30, beat American Coco Vandeweghe 2-6 6-4 6-3 for her second final appearance in three years.
The occasion seemed to get to Vandeweghe, who burst into tears while sitting in her chair in the final set.
She said: "I'm not really a crier so I don't know what that was about.
"There's been a lot of things going on this week so I guess it was an accumulation of all of them."

Vandeweghe had to be consoled by her coach after bursting into tears
