Sloane Stephens-The Next Serena

Sloane Stephens rips Serena Williams in latest interview

Remember a few months back when Sloane Stephens went up against Serena Williams in the quarterfinals of the Australian Open and stories upon stories were made about how the student was finally getting to face her mentor?

Well, apparently that wasn't so much the case. In an interview with ESPN the Magazine, Stephens held nothing back in how she feels about Williams, basically tearing apart any semblance of a relationship the two American tennis players might have had.

Here is a part of the story that comes out on May 13 ...

“She’s not said one word to me, not spoken to me, not said hi, not looked my way, not been in the same room with me since I played her in Australia,” Stephens says emphatically. “And that should tell everyone something, how she went from saying all these nice things about me to unfollowing me on Twitter.”

Her mom tries to slow her down, but Sloane is insistent. “Like, seriously! People should know. They think she’s so friendly and she’s so this and she’s so that — no, that’s not reality! You don’t unfollow someone on Twitter, delete them off of BlackBerry Messenger. I mean, what for? Why?”

Stephens went on to pound on any rumor that Williams was the person she looked up to as she was becoming the tennis player she is today. Sloane mentioned the infamous poster of Serena that she had on her wall, saying she waited three hours as a 12-year-old for Williams to sign it, but both Serena and sister Venus walked by without so much as an autograph.

And speaking of all that mentor stuff? Listen to what Stephens said about who she really loved to watch as a child.

“I’ve always said Kim Clijsters is my favorite player, so it’s kind of weird,” she says.

It's rare to see an athlete like Stephens really let loose on a fellow competitor, but it seemed Sloane had an agenda with this interview with Marin Cogan and that was to let the world know she isn't a huge fan of Serena in any capacity.

she forgets she cant be a KOURNIKOVA that KOURNIKOVA bitch never won shit but had more endorsements and product placement deals than the real winners !! need to ask this girl if KIM KARDASHIAN AND MONTANA FISHBURNE RING ANYBELL?
these disrespectful Cacs puttin her up to say these thing thinkin it'll raise her visibility ..hope she can back it up and america will embrace it!?

Sloane Stevens has become a competitor for Serena. She should take that as a sign she's being taken serious, she has arrived. You don't become freindly to a competitor you take as a threat, not Serena anyway..​

Serana so reminds me of how Monica Seles would be killing these females, intimidating them and shit

too bad she got stabbed and could not come back


Sloan, better grow up, this shit if for millions, fuck friends

Monica was a beast before the stabbing.........Graff wouldn't have won those 22 glam slam tournaments if Seles wasn't stabbed

I agree. Serena will add her back on Twitter when Serena retires. Until then, Serena is chasing history and she could have had one more major title had she won the Australian.

Sloane Stephens-The Next Serena

18th-seeded Stephens of US loses at Wimbledon

LONDON (AP) -- Sloane Stephens' streak of reaching the second week at six consecutive Grand Slam tournaments ended Monday at Wimbledon with a 6-2, 7-6 (6) first-round loss to 109th-ranked Maria Kirilenko of Russia.

Stephens saved five match points serving at 5-6, sending it to a tiebreaker where Kirilenko clinched the match after a wide forehand by Stephens.

Coming into Monday, Stephens' career record in Grand Slam matches was 31-12, while she was 55-54 everywhere else.

Sloane is nowhere near Serena. They are both AA professional tennis players, that's the only thing they have in common. Sloane has never won a single WTA tournament, regardless of how well she has done in the majors.

She shouldn't of fell for the okey doke by the media and instead sided up with Serena...

cause at this pace she may end up a footnote.

Sloane Stephens-The Next Serena

Two-time Australian Open champion Victoria Azarenka stormed through her grudge match with American Sloane Stephens on Tuesday to reach the second round at Melbourne Park.

Azarenka, ranked just 44 going into the season-opening Grand Slam after an injury-marred 2014, showed why she is regarded as the most dangerous unseeded player at the tournament as she downed Stephens 6-3, 6-2.

Azarenka, ranked just 44 going into the season-opening Grand Slam after an injury-marred 2014, showed why she is regarded as the most dangerous unseeded player at the tournament as she downed Stephens 6-3, 6-2.

She has 1401 WTA points, but will lose the 240 pts won at last year's Australian Open. 1160 pts will likely drop her out of the Top 40. She's been on a steady decline getting knocked out in the 1st or 2nd round by lower ranked opponents in pretty much every tournament.

 

[naijachief]

Sloane has zero passion for the game. She has talent but doesn't know how to remain focused throughout the match. Basically, she doesn't care enough.

American tennis will suffer tremendously once the Williams sisters retire.

INDIAN WELLS, Calif. -- Serena-Sloane IV is in the books, and the takeaway from Williams' 6-7 (4), 6-2, 6-2 fourth-round win is that maybe this complicated ball of yarn is something of a rivalry after all. The reasons had less to do with their résumés and more about the energy they bring to the court.

Each player pushes the other, and in Williams' case, it's a supreme compliment. By the end of the match, when she and Stephens enjoyed a warm smile at the net, Williams had re-established her championship bona fides, finding the reserve to overcome an afternoon when she really didn't have it. Williams lost the first three games of the match and produced nine double faults. In the end, despite 14 aces, her first-serve percentage was just over 50 percent for the match.

Serena Williams started slowly, but advanced to the Indian Wells quarterfinals.
Still, none of this stopped Williams from taking over the match after losing a first-set tiebreaker. After two hours, the signature moment was an old one. Serving at 5-2, 30-all, she hit a thundering 128 mph ace. On the next point, Stephens netted a forehand and the match was over.

In Stephens' case, the afternoon revealed her enormous talent, but it also showcased the depth of her enigmatic game. We saw just how far she really needs to go to be a great player instead of a great talent. Over three sets, especially early in the first, Stephens' ability shone through. Williams was unsettled by her opponent's easy power. Stephens has one of the biggest forehands -- down the line, inside out and crosscourt -- in the game. She tracks balls, plays great defense, and on several occasions showed why she can be so dangerous. Shots that Williams would traditionally punctuate with a verbal exclamation point came back over the net.

I have hit with sloan and angie. Angie is a lefty with a nice kick serve. Sloan is on my shit list right now. She was being coached by rodger smith ex tour player, black by the way. He helped sloan when she was in a bad situation got her her equipment deal and got her on track going deep in he Wimbledon draw. She let the m same cacs that dissed her in the first place from the usta dirty mack Rodger out once they saw they fucked up and that she could play.

I wish her the best but as a black coach I knew it would happen, this is why you never see a top player with a black coach. smh I wish her he best but she got rid of her whole black camp that gave up a lot to work with her even their positions with the same usta program that dissed her just to cut them loose and run back to the cac cause he tennis world kept telling her the black crew wasnt good enough.

So until I stop being upset Fuck Sloan....now back to angie.

I coached angies boyfriend at the time he was trying to make it on tour he gave up the dream. Angie has a serena booty, in the pics she is in the best shape of her life. Both angie and sloan have delt with a lot of shit so I give them props for it.

The Usta is finally facing the cold hard truth in that the future is with black players. As with most things the sistas get more of a shot and support than the bros but thats how will be. the us is tired of losing so they are about to embrace the blackness in the William sisters followed by sloan, madison keys and a few others they are currently hating on in he jr ranks.

sorry for he rant folks

My nigga told y'all 4 years ago what it was

 

[naijachief]

To see Sloane and Mads in the final. So much pride in my young sistas.
