Sloane Stephens withdraws from WTA Mérida after announcing her divorce

Currently outside the top 700 in the rankings, it is no secret that the professional career of Sloane Stephens is far from experiencing its best days. Last month, we saw her advance through the qualifying rounds of the Australian Open, and this week, theoretically, we were supposed to see her at the WTA 500 in Mérida. However, she will not be able to participate after withdrawing from the singles draw at the last minute. This decision is likely linked to the statement she released a few days ago announcing her divorce after many years of marriage to Jozy Altidore. Challenging times for the former World No. 3 whom we hope to see smiling again, whether on or off the court.
