Sloan Stephens once said that Serena Williams is her mentor but apparently that changed after Sloan beat Serena Williams at the Australian open last January and the mentor and mentee are now in talking terms any longer.
In ESPN Magazine, Sloan said some shocking things about Serena :
"She’s not said one word to me, not spoken to me, not said hi, not looked my way, not been in the same room with me since I played her in Australia. And that should tell everyone something, how she went from saying all these nice things about me to unfollowing me on Twitter.”
“Like, seriously! People should know. They think she’s so friendly and she’s so this and she’s so that - no, that’s not reality! You don’t unfollow someone on Twitter, delete them off of BlackBerry Messenger. I mean, what for? Why?”
