    Trivia

    Stephens rose to prominence at the 2013 Australian Open with a semifinal run beating world No. 3, Serena Williams. Although she reached No. 11 towards the end of 2013, she regressed and stayed outside the top 25 until the end of 2015. She switched to a new coach, Kamau Murray, under whom she returned to the elite level and won three WTA titles in the first half of 2016. She was also awarded WTA Comeback Player of the Year for her successful season. She continued her success by winning her first Premier Mandatory title at the Miami Open, reaching a second Grand Slam singles final at the French Open, entering the top 10 for the first time, and finishing runner-up at the WTA Finals in 2018.
