Epic battle

Stephens, Ostapenko to battle for women's glory

2017 US Open winner Sloane Stephens will be up against an in-form Jelena Ostapenko in the women's singles final on Saturday. The 20-year-old Latvian and the 25-year-old American have never played head-to-head, but they come in as a well-matched pair. Both the players have beaten big names on their way to the final. This is the first-ever Miami Open final for both of them.
