Lot expected from Stephens
Without a victory since her stunning US Open triumph last September, American Sloane Stephens admitted on Saturday that the experience of becoming a Grand Slam winner had been “overwhelming”.
“I think it’s always a tough transition when you go from not playing tennis for 11 months to winning a grand slam,” Stephens told a news conference at the Australian Open, which begins on Monday. “It’s never going to be anything you expected. In terms of that, it’s a little bit overwhelming.” —
