- Hi guys!
We’re a few weeks into the summer swing, and I’m happy to report that the ranking is heading in the right direction. Last time we talked, I was sitting around 305. Now, we’re around 208.
So clearly the prayers are working lol. Keep them coming!
My coach has officially started calling me “Mover of the Week,” and honestly, I’ll take it. 😂 There’s still a lot of work to do, but it feels really good to see the work translating into progress. We’re climbing, we’re locked in, and we’re not done yet.
Next stop: Philadelphia!
I’ll be playing the WTA 125 at UPenn this coming week, so if you’re in Philly, come out and watch! I would love to see some familiar faces in the stands. ❤️
🎾 Serving Up Dreams
I also have some really special news.
At this year’s US Open, I’ll be receiving the USTA Foundation’s Serving Up Dreams Award for my work with the Sloane Stephens Foundation.
This one means so much to me.
SSF is truly my heart outside of my body. What started as an idea more than a decade ago has grown into something that has touched thousands of kids and families, and getting to watch that impact grow has been one of the greatest privileges of my life.
Tennis has given me so much, and being able to use it to create opportunities for the next generation has always been bigger than any trophy or ranking.
To have that work recognized at the US Open, a place that has already given me some of the most meaningful moments of my life, makes me incredibly proud and grateful.

🎥 Life Lately
If you want to see what life has actually looked like lately, there’s a new vlog up on YouTube!
I’m taking you behind the scenes of photoshoots, graduate school residency, and the start of the hard-court swing.
Basically, a little glam, a little homework, and then back to business. 😂
Watch the vlog here:
There’s a lot happening right now, on the court, off the court, with SSF, with Doc & Glo, and apparently in the classroom too 😂 but I’m really grateful for all of it.
We still have work to do, though.
208 and climbing. Mover of the Week. 😂
See you in Philly!
Love,
Sloane ❤️
