Sloane Stephens' bright and eye-catching outfits at the 2023 French Open have drawn the attention of tennis fans.

Stephens advanced to the fourth round in Paris for the ninth time in her career after defeating Yulia Putintseva 6-3, 3-6, 6-2. Stephens converted seven of her 10 break points to defeat Putintseva and extended her winning record to 12-2 in her last 14 matches on clay.

Stephens, who had been with Nike since 2018, concluded her partnership with the brand at the start of the 2023 season. Joining the ranks of Marta Kostyuk, Marketa Vondrousova, and Donna Vekic, she became the fourth WTA player to part ways with Nike this year.

Following this split, Stephens embarked on a new collaboration with Free People Movement, an American fashion brand. The American has showcased a range of eye-catching outfits sponsored by the brand at the French Open, including vibrant shades of bright pink, electric blue, and emerald green.
