IN SLOANE LANE AGAIN

US OPEN champion Sloane Stephens suffered another Grand Slam hangover as she crashed out to Donna Vekic.

The world No.4, who failed to win a match last year after her New York triumph, lost 6-1 6-3 to the world No.55. Stephens said: “Today just wasn’t my day.” Vekic’s boyfriend Stan Wawrinka fought back to knock out No.6 seed Grigor Dimitrov

1-6 7-6 7-6 6-4.

The three-time Slam winner, down to world No.224 after two knee operations, said: “I was a bit surprised.”
