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!!

[bazztheman]

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

[seanjenkins]

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

[conrad]

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

[dariusd]

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.

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

[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.

[palesathabo]

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

[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.

[dinh]

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.  

[jolenehopkins]

Anyone know what Serena exclaimed at 14:22?

[francoisbessing]

A poster of myself? How cocky and tasteless.

[LM-btsg]

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

[janicegutierrez]

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

[melsalonga]

Congratulations Sloane you deserve to win!

[bobbyv]

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

[richardsmith]

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

[francoisbessing]

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

[tangibledetective]

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!

[domenicoabdulmadjid]

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