Sloane Stephens Upsets Serena Williams At Australian Open

A new American tennis star is born: Sloane Stephens

Lil' sista had Sista Serena breaking her racket and everything. From Yahoo! News: "Sloane Stephens, a 19-year-old American who has the eyes to be a champion and the stamina to live up to it, was paired against Serena Williams, possibly the best American women's tennis player to ever hit a yellow ball on a court that has seen five trophy ceremonies set for Serena."

More: "The match ended with Stephens upsetting the elder Williams 3-6, 7-5, 6-4, but there was plenty of action in between those numbers. Williams dominated, struggled, left the court and broke a racket from start to finish, but it was the teenager who kept her cool the entire match and was able to leave the winner on Wednesday at Rod Laver Arena."

The article continues about Ms. Stephens, who is the daughter of late NFL player John Stephens and who cites Serena Williams as one of her tennis idols: "She now faces the No. 1 seed in the tournament in Victoria Azarenka and most will expect her to lose but do you know the final thing she said in her post-match interview with ESPN before heading to the locker room? 'I hope to have a lot more Twitter followers, too!' She's still 19, but her game is aging quickly."
