Stephens showing signs of a return to form according to Roddick: "Here we go, this could be the start of a little Sloane run here"

Former world No. 1 Andy Roddick praised Sloane Stephens for her performances during the clay court season.
The American tennis player is known for commenting on the current state of tennis, and this time he showed that he is also paying attention to what is happening in the WTA. In an interview with Tennis Channel, he commented on the ups and downs that Stephens has faced throughout her career:
“Well, it’s a little bit like a heart rate monitor. There are some peaks and some valleys tucked in there as well," the former world No. 1 said.
Roddick and Stephens have something in common, as they have both won a Grand Slam in their careers, both in their home country, winning the US Open. Roddick praised Stephens' recent weeks on the tour:
"But I’ll tell you one thing. People on tour, they see her starting to win matches. Not all Challenger winners are the same, right? You could see someone win a Challenger and think, ‘Okay, that’s great.’ Sloane Stephens wins a Challenger and you’re thinking, ‘Here we go, this could be the start of a little Sloane run here,'" Roddick said.
"I’m sure she would tell you that the delta between her great stuff and her bad stuff is probably as significant as anyone else on the WTA tour, but I like what I’m seeing. You win a Challenger, you come back, and you ease through the first round. She’s rolling into form at the right time," he added.
Stephens won her first match at the Rome Open against Nadia Podoroska but lost in the second round to Victoria Azarenka. The American is continuing her preparation for the French Open, where she was already a finalist in 2018, losing to Simona Halep.
