Stearns, who currently sits at World No.48, has seen her stock rise this season. The NCAA collegiate champion began the 2023 season with two titles on the ITF World Tennis Tour – in back-to-back events on American soil at W25 Orlando and W60 Rome, Georgia – and went on to reach the third round on her Roland Garros debut and the fourth round at the US Open. This has seen her climb from outside the Top 200 at the start of the year, to a career-high ranking of World No.43 in April.
