MELBOURNE : Sloane Stephens knows only too well the vagaries of life as a professional tennis player and offered some sage advice to Emma Raducanu after being beaten by the British teenage sensation in the first round of the Australian Open on Tuesday.
There was a sensational 17-minute first set in which she dropped only four points, then a worrying dip as errors crept into her game and a possible defeat loomed. "I would say, the only same situation is that we won the U.S. Open, but our situations are very different," Stephens, 28, told reporters."I think she is carrying a whole country.""Because she is so young it's definitely a long road. She hasn't been through much of anything yet, so there will definitely be some ups and downs and some crazy experiences that happen throughout, it's only the beginning.
