Stephens shows her fangs in Linz

In these past years, we have seen few comebacks from Sloane Stephens within the professional circuit. A woman with endless talent, but currently outside the top 500 and already at 33 years old. Has her best moment passed? It's normal to think so, although for these truly good people, it only takes a week to dismantle any discourse. Today, we saw her able to endure at the WTA 500 in Linz, where she rolled up her sleeves to defeat Tatjana Maria (1-6, 7-5, 6-4) and advance to the round of 16, where she will face Mirra Andreeva. A match I wouldn't miss for almost any other plan suggested.
