I really think Sloane has proved her potential in both junior slams [FO & WI] and I hope her win against Czink in USO Q is a set up for a smooth transition!
I think it's time for her right before her nxt big match-up against Kristina Mladenovic[1]
All the best Sloane!
She won!!! I just hate how whenever she's ahead, she relaxes and is content to push. Why not assert yourself in the rally if you can?
It says so much that she was able to get through a tight match not playing too well. First you gotta be able to come through and win when you are suppose to. This time she had a cakewalk draw and I am glad she was smart enough to take advantage of it.
Her boyfriend (Jack Sock) was in her box again-- he was in her box at Brisbane as well. Sloane was not impressive. Serena should be able to thrash her 6-1 6-1.
Saw her practice the day before her match against BoJo. She was really chatty to her coach.
Then when she was about to leave, kids were asking whether they could get the practice balls. She said sure, got some. Then when more kids wanted, she went to the used balls box and got more and started to hand them out. She kept one for herself and she used it to run a competition today: whoever finds the ball around the grounds gets to sit in her box seat tomorrow against Serena.
She also took the time to sign loads of autographs. This little kid who didn't know what was going on stood there first. She asked "are you gonna give me the pen to sign on your ball?" he gave her the pen, she signed his first. Then he was about to walk away, Sloane said: "Don't go just yet! I still have your pen!"
She's so sweet, I really love her! It frustrates me when people on this board say negative things about her attitude or personality. I just don't see where they are coming from at all. I've always found her enjoyable and great to follow.
