FIRST WORD
I always want to see Sloane do well. I’d love for both of us to be able to be in the position to play each other multiple times. … I’m always cheering for her.”
Madison Keys, on following fellow American and almost-decade-long friend Sloane Stephens during tennis matches. Both won Sunday in straight sets to advance to the French Open quarterfinals; if both win again, they’d meet in the semifinals of the Grand Slam tournament in Paris. Stephens beat Keys for the 2017 U.S. Open title.
