Since winning her first Grand Slam Title, US Open, in 2017, against Madison Keys, Sloane hasn’t won a single one after it. But in 2022, Stephens had a major resurgence, winning her first title since 2018.
Currently, Sloane is competing in the Italian Open and is looking to carry on the winning momentum. Only last week, she won the WTA 125K Saint Marlo, defeating the Belgium player Greet Minnen.
