Tennis analyst Pam Shriver claims that Sloane Stephens still has the ability to go on a deep run at the 2023 US Open, which begins on August 28th.

The 2017 US Open champion has had a subpar season, winning only 22 of her 48 matches on Tour this year. However, Shriver believes Stephens still has the desire to make a deep run at the last Grand Slam of the season.
