WTA star Sloane Stephens is undeniably brave. Hard to believe? Just check out her latest social media update. Despite suffering her first defeat in the new season, Stephens chose an adventure to rejuvenate her mind and she shared a snippet of her activity on Instagram. The American star remains in a positive frame of mind despite not having made a great start to the new season.

Stephens started her 2025 season at the ASB Classic and she performed well in the doubles partnering with Clara Touson, as the duo reached the quarterfinals. They will now face Rebecca Marino of Canada and Tara Moore of Britain tomorrow. However, the singles run of Stephens ended on a sad note as the WTA star lost the Round of 32 match to Ann Li by 5-7, 6-4, and 6-4. Although disappointed, Stephens didn’t let the loss demoralize her. Instead, she spent the last moments of 2024 in a celebratory mood.

The World No. 63 star shared an image on her IG story, where she could be seen posing on top of Auckland’s sky tower. Dressed in a bungee jumping gear along with an expert, Stephens looked excited as she showed a victory sign. “Jumping into 2025 like…,” she captioned her post. Stephens’s act reminded the fans of Naomi Osaka who tried the same a couple of days back in Auckland.

Along with an image of her getting ready for the stunt, Stephens also shared a clip of her watching fireworks from one of Auckland’s high-rise towers. Stephens loves to try out unconventional things. Bungee jumping is not the only adventure that she has tried. She has previously also tried out living in the wild and revealed how much she loved the overall experience.

Sloane Stephens enjoyed a special South Africa trip

In 2022, Stephens visited South Africa for the Africa Cares Tennis Challenge. Before the event started, the WTA star went to the Londolozi Game Reserve, one of South Africa’s private reserves, and spent three days there with her husband Jozy Altidore. Stephens loved the experience so much that she even started calling herself “Ranger Sloane.” “Call me Ranger Sloane. Three days of adventure with @londolozi …not a single complaint! I love it here,” Stephens wrote on her IG account.

The American player shared beautiful photos from the reserve, as she further added, “The best possible summary of the past 3 days. It honestly doesn’t even begin to show how amazing this experience has been.”

Sloane Stephens is a bit of a daredevil. While the majority wished to end their year by having a party with friends, she decided to do something thrilling like bungee jumping that showcased her daredevil personality. It’s clear Stephens isn’t going to be bogged down by her loss in the singles at the ASB Classic. She seems well-prepared for the challenges ahead.
