Sloane Stephens Beats Serena Williams in Australian Open QF
Two American females battled in the quarterfinals round of the 2013 Australian open on Wednesday. The older Serena Williams played against the teenager Sloane Stephens for a place in the semis. In the end, Stephens prevailed, stopping the 15-time Grand Slam winner Williams’ winning streak in a 3-6, 7-5, 6-4 victory.
After winning her first Grand Slam quarterfinal, Stephens will next play defending champion Victoria Azarenka.
Stephens, who is big fan of the Williams sisters, said in an interview: “This is so crazy. Oh my goodness. I think I’ll put a poster of myself (up) now.”
Maria Sharapova won 6-2, 6-2 in her quarterfinal game against Ekatrina Makarova on Tuesday. She will face Li Na next, who reached the semifinals after beating Agnieszka Radwanska 7-5, 6-3.
