I used to not be a huge fan of Sloane, but after her comeback I really am. I understand some people may not agree with her attitude but I like it and I think it is paying off for her which is great. Sorry Simona but I will backing Sloane all the way tomorrow.
they can NOT Take her!! they mad that's she's sooo good without looking like she is trying to be😭😂 i bet she be singing Ego by Beyonce "I talk like this cause I can back it up
Sloane Stephens has the kind of game that is disruptive, especially against the grunt-y tennis. You're not going to get a rhythm with her. And Simona Halep has been 8 times to a final and choked. It's a pattern for her. All that anxiety. She's good at playing it off. But all that anxiety. 8 times. Isn't it 8 times. I could be wrong. Maybe it's less. But I think it's 8 times.
It was 3 times. And the fourth was a charm for Simona. And the only final you can say she choked was the one against Ostapenko. She wasn't quite ready yet in 2014, and she just ran out of gas late against Woz in Australia. And even then, she still found her way to be break up in the final set on just sheer will.
So the press this week asked Serena is she intimidated by Maria's looks (beating her 18 straight times btw) and asked Sloane if she loves tennis???? Wow!
Can we resist making everything about race? Even Sloane's fans questioned her motivation. And the "looks" question was due to Maria's comments her in her book. It wasn't like it came out of no where. And it was more about trolling Maria than anything else.
Sean Jenkins It is a fair question. There have been champions in the past who have spoken about going through periods where they weren’t in love with the sport.
