Two American women were eliminated in the US Open round of 16 on Monday, with Jessica Pegula and Peyton Stearns exiting the tournament.
No. 3 seed Jessica Pegula, the highest ranked American woman, was ousted by friend Madison Keys in straight sets 6-1, 6-3 in just over an hour.
Keys, the No. 17 seed and 2017 runner-up at Flushing Meadows, converted on 77 percent of her first-serve points and used powerful ground strokes to keep rallies short - a little over three strokes on average - to make quick work of her third-seeded opponent and close friend.
