So far this year Sloane Stephens has done well in the grand slams she's 12-3 reaching the semifinals of the Australian Open and quarterfinals of Wimbledon.
I think Stephens definitely has talent, but I feel the girl is believing the USA press media hype. Stephens comes across as cocky, a bit arrogant yet she hasn't won a WTA event yet. After she beat Sharapova last week Stephens said "nobody beats me four times in a row." I mean, it sounds kind of arrogant for Stephens to say this.
However, Stephens still has not reached a WTA Tour final and that's shocking! All the other women in the top 30 on the WTA Tour have reached a WTA final. Stephens still hasn't done it.
Jamie Hampton already reached a WTA final this year in Eastbourne.
I think Stephens proved a lot last week beating Maria Sharapova even though Maria was rusty it still was a huge upset.
However, Stephens loss to Jankovic was disappointing because she had chances to win the match in straight sets.
Stephens reminds me of Chanda Rubin, although the USA media want her to become the next Serena Williams. Yes, Sloane has beaten Serena and Maria but she hasn't backed up the big upset. After a big win she usually loses in the next round.
Rubin like Stephens got a lot of hype when she also reached the Australian Open semifinals when she was 19 back in 1996 but Rubin didn't do anything spectacular. Rubin did reach a career high of number six but she never reached the top of women's tennis.
