Sloane Stephens, possible Williams sisters succesor?

[Earl-Hickey]

About time we got some new blood, she handled Serena pretty well earlier

only 19 years old

[T.Horton]

i haven't seen her play but she does look strong.

the real question is did she learn to play on cracked, compton tennis courts?

Meh, Serena was injured, lets not get ahead of ourselves.

Yep. She had a bum ankle and also hurt her back in the match...yet still managed to win a set.

Stephens probably doesn't beat her if she was at 100%.

Still it is good to see a new face on the scene. Let's see how she does against Azarenka in the next match.

[ShoulderRoll]

Man, she was taking it to Victoria Azarenka in that second set but then Azarenka decided to take a little 10 minute break right in the middle of the match! Due to "injury."

By the time play resumed Stephens had lost all her momentum and got beat.

What a slimy move. But I gather that is allowed by the rules so what can you do.
