The tennis player and Mercedes-Benz ambassador is giving herself some grace — and, some pizza.

Aug 30, 2021Today, Sloane Stephens will play her first match of the 2021 women's US Open against Madison Keys. It's not the first time the two—who are friends—have battled it out on the courts: In 2017, Stephens beat Keys in the tournament's finals, clinching the coveted title—and, while winning is certainly on the brain, Stephens is fighting for more than a trophy this year. She's fighting for change in the game.

at a Mercedes-Benz event last week , Stephens shared how she once based her own choices on other people’s opinions or the public perception of her, which led her down a dark path. “It might not be the best food to eat pre-match, but it makes me happy and feel good," she says."And sometimes your performance is based on you going out there and being happy.”

As a member of the Women's Tennis Association Players' Council, Stephens says she has fielded a lot of these types of concerns from athletes."I think that obviously, we can do better to support each other," she said.
