WEEK: 08.21.2017
American Sloane Stephens gets the mover of the week honors. Four tournaments played since her return from foot surgery and the American is making noise. In her first two tournaments, she lost in the first round; however, she made it to the semifinals in the last two tournaments. She will take a break now, pulling out from this week’s Connecticut Open, to rest her body for the last Major of the season, the US Open. In this current form, Stephens will be hoping to catch a few people by surprise and perhaps make a deep run at the US Open. She can do it; she has been to the semifinals of a Major before and is no stranger to the pressure of being in the spotlight on the big stage.
