Stephens vs Williams | 2013 Australian Open Highlights

Highlights from their quarterfinal match. Post match interview + stats included.

[@blakebaird5829]

Good win for Sloane! Also wasn’t this the year that Serena rolled her ankle like 4 times during the Australian swing?! Amazing that she even made the quarters!!

[@bazztheman93]

I really do believe in 2-3 years Sloane will be competing for these massive titles. A fantastic prospect for the future

[@MrLiver8]

Bazz Clarke you're a wizard

[@palm0607]

And you were right.....lol

[@SmithyPL]

Well, not quite well aged. Won 1 slam out of nowhere, then returned to nowhere.

[@cococrnt2]

@@SmithyPL nowhere’s harsh- she won Miami the year after, then final at the French Open and final at the 2018 WTA Masters- she actually reached the 3rd place in the rankings in 2018. But yeah she could have won at least a few more slams.

[@stefan33uk]

@@cococrnt2looking at these highlights it seems to have been an underachieving career. Phenomenal speed, massive power on the ground strokes especially the forehand, enough shape to the shots for consistency, excellent volleys and a thunderous first serve. Some players just can’t work out their own talent - Kuznetsova was another one who had all the game and wasted it but at least she did a bit better than Sloane results wise.

[@melsalonga1138]

Congratulations Sloane you deserve to win!

[@conrad4950]

I knew Sloan would be great..she is so perfect...good tennis.

[@seanjenkins331]

I've never seen Sloan play this type.of tennis since this match. Like at how she's matching Serena for pace, how she's hurting Serena with the forehand, how she's attacking second serves. She doesn't do any of that anymore

[@IAMMOVIN4WARD]

Sean Jenkins It looks like she's back on track though with her first WTA tour win.**

[@IAMMOVIN4WARD]

Well people...that win did nothin' for her career lol. To state the obvious haha!*

[@JordanjamesX]

+IAMBLESSED! really because Sloane has won 3 WTA titles in 2016! She also won her first clay title in Charleston.

[@IAMMOVIN4WARD]

JordanjamesX Apparently, she's having a great run. Props to her but she's still inconsistent. Look, I'm rootin' and waiting for Sloan to get into major semis and finals. Hopefully, she'll win a few majors.*

[@JordanjamesX]

+IAMBLESSED! Yes and you need to be patient I agree Sloane is a bit inconsistent but she has definitely improved she is learning to win!

[@tangibledetective1293]

Sloane is my favorite WTA player! I just wish she was more consistent in her matches if she plays like this most of the time she would always be in the top 5!

[@bobbyv5308]

Sloane has since won the USA open and now in a French open semifinal.

[@dariusd2003]

Serena up a set and a break and most would have thought this match was a foregone conclusion. Obviously someone's level dropped and congrats to Sloane for taking advantage and not crumbling. Hopefully she improves her mental aspect and shot selection because the power is there to be a top 5 wta member.

[@francoisbessing]

No one has ever beat both Williams... Until now. I certainly respect her but Williams broke the barriers for all the rest.

[@bayuadrian1638]

Sloane so cool n calm when in the court but you must be carefull because she can kick you off from the court this ones of my favorite match on AO

[@palesathabo1832]

what happened to this girl playing against Serena... she's that good.. am so proud of my black sisters

[@JordanjamesX]

sloane just won her first WTA title yesterday!

[@denongamco1992]

it's even weaker than eugenie bouchard's backhand.

[@victorlupas4875]

she won US Open

[@rrhotj]

sloane has a strong forehand but a weak backhand. serena did not see that in their match here but i guess she saw that now coz serena has beaten her since.

[@JordanjamesX]

Sloane has improved her backhand.

[@richardsmith2890]

Sloane Stephens should more excitement winning this match than she did when she won the US Open 4 years later.

[@EdinamDean]

What the hell happened to Sloane's game after this match?, she was taking it to Serena THE WHOLE TIME!!,..matching her shot for shot, power for power. She needs this mojo back.

[@Paakid]

serena was injured here from her 1st round match. Sloane is my fav tennis player and she's improved big time. just mentally it's her problem now.

[@fr.alejandro]

Basel Waar you're right. You can see in the 2nd and 3 set. Not her best serves game and very slow.

[@jethrodassam]

That's always her excuse. She never gives credit to her opponent. Why is she hurt so much? It's tennis not football.

[@Paakid]

jethrodassam lol you realize her age and how she plays tennis right... I'm guessing you have no idea lol

[@jethrodassam]

Ria M Her age is 35. What about it? Serena always has injuries. She's like an elderly woman who falls down a lot.

[@dinh5532]

She needs to play more aggressive tennis, a lot times she just counter punches when she has all of the abilities to be the dictator.

[@angies7154]

Awesome sister Serena 🙌🙌🙌♥️🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

[@МихаилДемин-л8н]

Awesome brother Serena👍😂

[@johnanderson8385]

one of the greatest moments in AO history...a true good over evil tale

[@MAURGASM]

huh

[@janicegutierrez1860]

This girl is sooo full of herself. She hasn't lived up to this win, this year at all.

[@IAMMOVIN4WARD]

Janice Gutierrez She finally got that tournament win though lol. Let's see if she can capitalize off of that going into the 2015 US Open.

[@IAMMOVIN4WARD]

Damn Sloane's up and down mentality. She needs sports psychological help lol!*

[@LM-bt7sg]

Janice Gutierrez or since

[@jolenehopkins6796]

Anyone know what Serena exclaimed at 14:22?

[@LM-bt7sg]

Jolene Hopkins she hurt herself at the net in this game but continued to play

[@thompsonthompsonproduction3326]

good job sloane do you!

[@jethrodassam]

It was beauty that killed the beast.

[@nightlock3]

yep serena is a beast, shes a fucking legend who just won her 22nd grand slam. bye!

[@jethrodassam]

Jude Robinson Yes he did.

[@jethrodassam]

Jude Robinson You're right. I meant "it"

[@nightlock3]

jethrodassam You just seem very confused now little boy LOL!

[@jethrodassam]

Jude Robinson Little boy? Far from it.

[@domenicoabdulmadjid]

And sloane never get her guts sincr won the US open..what happen with u girl..

[@francoisbessing]

A poster of myself? How cocky and tasteless.

[@LM-bt7sg]

Serena actually hurt herself at the net that’s the reason she doesn’t like being so close she’s done it before in another match

[@MrPenuswilliams1980]

Fatrena Williams?
