Sloane Stephens USA
Sloane Stephens is currently ranked #11 in the world, having risen from a top 100 finish in 2011, followed by a top 40 finish in 2012. Her progress is punctuated by wins this year over defending grand slam winners Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova. Against her peers, she defeated prosects Laura Robson twice, Jamie Hampton twice and drew even with Eugenie Bouchard.
The second-ranked American behind Serena Williams, Sloane is poised to break into the top 10 in 2014, building on a momentous 2013 season in the grand slam events:
Australian Open SF
French Open 4R
Wimbledon QF
US Open 4R
She is often criticized for her play outside the grand slam events, but she has proven her ability to penetrate a grand slam draw. It underscores her ability to play big when the occasion matters most.
Following in the steps of her American predecessors, she is a cute, athletic, well-spoken young woman who well represents the United States. She loves tennis and is very dedicated in a manner that sparks excitement and media attention. She is the new Chris Evert.
I believe that during the off-season, Sloane will engage a coach who will harness her impatience and propel her to her first grand slam final. She will upset a top player along the way which will make her confidence soar for the rest of the year and a top five season.
Say what you will, but Sloane is bad to the bone. She's got this!
