Sloane cant really serve. No easy points on serve for her. She is better when ball stays in play tho

That 9th game was crazy. Just rewound the whole game. Venus with some onions down 30-40

Yeah she does have the waluigi all ard game

Venus battled. Though she was shot down 2-0. Sloane too good

She could be a big sports star (not just tennis star). Just needs a better serve and more swagger out there like the one fist pump

Seems like she's been around forever, but she's only 24. Great to see her break through to a GS final.

She's been hurt for basically the last year but I was surprised to see she made her first SF in 2013 also. Doesn't seem that long ago.

Big fan of both her and Keys. Glad one is going to get a GS win.

Sloane Stevens pretty close to winning this whole thing.
