Sloane Stephens (born March 20, 1993) is an American tennis player. She has won five singles titles, including her first Major at the 2017 US Open. With that victory, she became the lowest ranked player (83rd) to ever win the women's singles title and the first American woman apart from the Williams sisters to win a Grand Slam since Jennifer Capriati in 2002.
