Sloane Stephens, an American tennis player, was born on March 20, 1993.

Stephens changed coaches and began working with Kamau Murray, who helped her reach the top level again and win three WTA titles in the first half of 2016. However, a foot injury kept her out for months and halted her fruitful year.
