Sloane Stephens

I grip very close to the butt of the racket. This allows me to get a lot of wrist action to create more spin and whip.

The media has dubbed me as someone who can only get up for the big tournaments, and that is not who I want to be.

I always have applesauce in my fridge, and when traveling I take protein bars just in case I get hungry. They're my go-to snack.

It's not hard to draw from within yourself to play someone protective of her daughter. I have animals and I'm a daughter, sister, wife, aunt and friend, and I can be fiercely protective.

The judge decided in this case that both the state and the defense would have the opportunity to respond to certain kinds of press. This is one such instance.

I don't really have time to watch too much, but I like 'Family Guy' and 'Entourage.' I'm also obsessed with the YouTube series 'Balls of Steel.' It's hilarious.
