For several American players, the 2023 season was rough. Sloane Stephens is one such player. After winning the 2017 US Open, Stephens has found it difficult to play at the same level again. Regardless, she is still focused on returning to that level. She was recently seen training before she arrived in Australia. Her video showed a change in her equipment and saw some encouragement from her compatriot, Frances Tiafoe. 

Tiafoe and Stephens have a good relationship with each other, as one can see from their interactions on social media. The two often riff with each other as Tiafoe shows his surprise when Stephens meets a pop-culture icon.

Frances Tiafoe motivates Sloane Stephens

As the 2024 season is just around the corner, players have started amping up practice sessions to ensure they announce a great return to the sport. Sloane Stephens, who did not have a great time in 2023, is fired up and ready to go far in slams again. She recently shared a video on her social media where she is hitting a few shots.

In the video, she showed she was training with her previous racket, which grabbed the attention of a lot of fans. However, Tiafoe’s message caught everyone’s attention. He wrote, “Get one more then walk away”. Tiafoe is encouraging her to train harder so she can rise up to her old level. The two American players are good friends and often leave encouraging messages for each other.
