Sloane Stephens: I still want my mother to pay my cellphone bill
In an interview to Telegraph, ahead of the French Open, Sloane Stephens commented on her off-court life. The American player is engaged and despite her success - in 2017 she won her maiden Grand Slam title at the US Open - Stephens said: “It’s weird that I have a real life outside of tennis. But do I feel grown? No. Life is going by fast. I don’t wanna be grown. I still want my mom to pay my cellphone bill! I am not ready for this."
She added, “I feel like I’ve been through a lot. It’s my eighth year in Madrid. That’s a lot of time! After the second or third year, you’re like getting used to it, but eight years? I’m like: ‘Damn, I’m old!’ One of my first times playing here, I played Li Na and I was like: ‘This is the best thing that ever happened to me’. Now she has been retired for five years.”
Finally, she said, “I had to go. I was standing up for my girls. She’s a competitor, but I… think that if it was a guy, they wouldn’t have put it up there,” she says, shaking her head. “I’m not afraid to say what I feel. If no one was going to speak up for her, I was.”
