Great to see you winning a Grand Slam. I wish you a lot more success in the future!

[Ghost-xbxn]

So happy for her. Very grateful for the money too. Good luck to her

[tomschmitz]

great interview. the only thing is kimmel and those in his audience who don't know anything about tennis, might think she was ranked 900 plus and came from nowhere, .. of course that is entirely misleading... she was a former top 20 player whose ranking dropped because of injury and not defending her points and so on... not taking anything away from sloane, i'm very glad you won and hope she continues onward and upwards!...
