A "enigma" is defined by somewhat reliable sources in this otherwise crazy internet as a task that can be solved by guiding or thinking.The latter can be ruled out at Sloane Stephens, all attempts to explain why this wonderful tennis player only won a Grand Slam tournament (and why she is currently only 66 of the WTA charts) are doomed to failure.So it has to be advised: maybe it was the numerous injuries?Motivation problems?Other priorities?

US Open 2021: Sloane Stephens - das Enigma des Tennissports

In any case, it is nice for hair when Sloane Stephens feels on a tennis court.Just like on Wednesday evening against Cori Gauff, who had to take note of her lack of chance against the 2017 US Open winner from the middle of the first sentence.Especially in comparison with the 18-year-old power player, Stephens' qualities came into play particularly well: an incredible anticipation, an understanding of the game that is almost completely lacking in the young ball pregnancy, and yet also the ability to get every pace along.Admittedly: Gauff has opened better.So what?

What is a moody diva, on the other hand, everyone has their own definition.Sloane Stephens should be found in pretty much every one.Keyword: "moody".The press also gets this to feel, especially outside the USA.Stephens also likes to go to one-rate answers, which is not too bad, just not particularly productive.In her home game in Flushing Meadows, on the other hand, the 28-year-old chats without a self-limitation, after the victory

Can Sloane Stephens in New York City follow the second four years after her first success?If so, you should build a statue in the immediate vicinity of the National Tennis Center.Because the draw did not mean well with her: The start brought the new edition of the 2017 final against Madison Keys, then the meeting with Gauff.

Now Angelique Kerber is waiting, after that it is most likely against Naomi Osaka.And then Sloane Stephens was just in the quarter -finals.So the Enigma Stephens got some tasks himself.That you will not be able to solve by guessing or thinking alone.

Here is the single tableau of women
