Stephens is WTA's Wawrinka. Unstoppable when in top form
Truuue
The first time I see Ostapenko hugging an opponent after defeating ... So impresive 😱👏
Because the opponent hugged her
gamer k exactly
It's not a first time, probably first was this: ruclips.net/video/KXTCeNWYRE8/видео.html but may be you can count even this: ruclips.net/video/VJOKs-VVLW0/видео.html
sad that we can we even count the number. ostapenko has got to change her attitude.
Heninkaja Rasolomanana its because Osta knows Stephens on a more personal level they did play doubles in Australia together 😏
If Sloane is mentally all there in a match, she is probably one of the smartest players.
She has the game to be very aggressive when playing against the best defensive players and a superb defense when against top notch power players. She's able to stay in so many rallies with her great foot speed and either allows that to draw the error of her opponent or allows her to pounce upon an open opportunity with her forehand.
Hopefully she stays healthy all season to continue this run. She literally has no points to defend all clay season and most of grass season. She plays great on clay as well. She could be top 5 if she racks up enough points.
Not true, K FF. She was very aggressive in every other match this event. She was smart to reel it in for this match and play more defensively.
she was doing so well in RG during 2015 until that last set against serena
She played really smart tennis. She can't outhit or be more aggressive than Ostapenko so she used her athleticism and hit deep but still strong shots with big targets. She rode out Ostapenko's ups and downs.
OptimistHunter Reel that’s her game u summed it up top player not many girls can do that.
yeah unfortunately she’s gone down in the ranking as people say her form isn’t as good but i still believe in her as she truly is versatile
I was rooting for Ostapenko but Stephens deserved the title and her defense was unbelievable
Stephens knows
how to make the big hitters exhausted in the last set :D
paula pingkan- Yup, all Sloane's opponents doubled the amount of UE's in 2nd sets incomprehensibly...
Sloane is just having fun!!! You can tell by her smile!!! Congratulations on your win, Sloane!
Congratulations, Stephens! Welcome to the top 10!
Atp miami final 2018
6 out of 6! Sloane Stephens' still perfect in WTA final matches! Always won a tour every year since Washington 3 years ago! Well done Slo! Congrats! 🏆🏆🏆
And 4 out of 6 titles in USA!!
hmmmm..
@AnteDiluvian Is that a problem?
Dharu Kusuma Hady
No, not a problem. That's a fraud in any other country in the world.
@AnteDiluvian LOL! 😅😅😅
I'm so glad my favorite player is back to her winning ways :) Ostapenko is fun to watch as well but needs to work on her serve and be more patient. I hope Sloane wins many more titles and gets to number 1.
Stephens’ defence was amazing today!
Wow Ostapenko smiling at the handshake after her loss, this is something new... Amazing match from the American, the conclusion of an impressive run, well deserved!
Happy to see Sloane winning the final. She seems a genuine, sweet, funny person and above all, she's a gifted tennis player, both technically and mentally
Sloanes game reminds me of Kim Clijsters. She's like a wall
Mike Hamilton : now this assessment I will agree with. She moves like Kim and she hits her forehead like Kim and she also defends like him. Her game is more in common with Kim then the William sisters but Kim had slightly more offencive minded abilities
Yea Kim’s her favorite player
holy shit! this is amazing!!!! so happy for you sloane! you deserve every minute of this!
Sloane Stephens speed is her greatest weapon !
Sloane is a smart and intelligent player. Congrats on title and getting inside top10.
Saad Khan Right on money Saad! How she broke her opponent down is amazing. It was like stopping one rocket after another.
wow I would've given up so fast on all those balls Sloane simply refused to let go by
Stephens defense is top notch !
She is a force to be reckoned with in the sport. Congrats my dear.
That point at 5:31 with the timely drop shot and then the volley FROM THE BASELINE from Sloane was "magnificent". Great tennis!
Champ Sloane Stephen big up to both wonderful players.That is a really good display.
America has a new tennis champion Sloane Stephens!
I miss this stadium.
Was that Sloane Stephens or Novak Djokovic? Look at her get sure winners back across the net. I want to see Sloane continue to rack up big titles.
KarlMalowned32 this is exactly the style of play that got her last Venus at last year’s US Open semi. Venus was in great physical shape but in the third set Sloan refused to let any of Venus’s balls get by her and caused Venus to hit over 60 UE and subsequently lose. Venus tried her best to hit through Sloan but Sloan was a human wall that day and all tournament long.
Superior athleticism (speed/body strength) is key to Ms Stephens (defense) success. Of course there are (mainly) many differences, but at least in this regard, I see similarities also to Justine Henin`s game.
She played more like Andy Murray the way I see it. Smart, defense, touch.
Don Jenkins pusher as always.
Fucked Yoda Smart tennis actually!
Congratulations to winner Sloane Stephens and to Jelena Ostapenko for 2nd place also. Ostapenko played like real tennis player with power shots but Stephens won because played all balls in and the main reason is that she played with mind.. Sloanne is intelligent player ...
Congrats to both players enjoyable final Sloane Stephens just played better on the day. First time I have ever seen Ostapenko hug an opponent after any final that was good to see as she gets older she seems to be calmer. She played well just too many errors in the second set. Good advert for women tennis
Stephens has the opportunity to become the best... What an amazing final from both competitors
My read on Sloane is, she is as talented an athlete as one can be in the WTA today. And since her breakout moment at the US Open, she and her team know this. But she embodies what I think is the hallmark of today's athlete and just people in general. Efficiency is the standard. Everyone wants to expend the least amount of effort and get the most output. Sloane to me is ostensibly targeting specific tournaments to excel at because the work load involved in order to win tournaments consistently is tremendous. Maybe unbearable even. Because you have to immolate the other aspects of your life. This workload while still immense, is manageable in the schedule she has adopted. So watch out for her performances in Grand Slams and Premier Events that are based in the US. Good for her. 👌
Stephens has amazing defense. I also saw shades of Federer in that touch defense shot. Brilliantly played.
This is probably the best Sloane’s ever played since US Open, maybe even moreso than the US Open, except possibly the semifinal match against Venus
Sloan you’re back in form, mental and physical!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
She's so adorable
The point starting from 5:22 is just amazing! Congrats Sloane!
That was amazing
Good job nobody gave you a chance but I know you can do it enjoy the moment before we go down under you deserve it keep on doing what you doing time for the move up and take your place where you belong you should be the next one in line be more consistent you'll continue to win I know you can do it great job God bless you enjoy
Best highlights
A true example of "Dance like a butterfly, sting like a bee". I always find myself cheering for Sloane even though she plays like she'd rather be reading a book on neurosurgery than exercise. Though I do admit that strong defensive players drive most of us nuts by forcing us to hit 4 "winners" to win a point, Sloane can go hard, too, when necessary. In this match, her speed n ability to place a defensive ball deep are impressive. Mentally though, giving the ball deep right back to Penko like it's a forehand rally drill until a good ball comes up basically says: "Hey, knock yourself out...keep donating till it hurts.... you're the one with the one-dimensional game, not me" lol
Sloane has a game I can’t say I enjoy watching because it’s so lackadaisical, but I respect her. I also like that she is a shot maker. She can play aggressive but she also has a way of getting her opponent in the position she wants before making a winner that’s with extremely high margin. She reminds me of Hingis sometimes. Im glad to see the next generation of girls : Osaka,Ostapenko, Stephens, Keys. Now who will stay consistent ?
Nigel Johnson ummm Stephens is 25 this year, can’t name her the future, only the present
Once she gets going , there is no stopping her , Sloane the champ
congrats Sloane !!!! n Happy easter there.
I must say either Osaka or Sloane will be Serena's successor., I can see their focus and dedication in tennis....Congrats Sloane Stephen...hold on to that position.
Sloane has to prove she can win outside of the US and on a surface other than a hardcourt. I think Osaka is closer to a Serena style of play than Sloane. Sloane has a bit too much of a defensive mentality on the court. Her serves are also close to half the speed of Serena's.
Ramon Galvez : Naomi Osaka has more upside to me than Sloane Stephens but in the end I think that Sloane will be the natural successor to Serena and Venus Williams Because Sloane knows how to adjust her game proponent better than Naomi does. But as far as physical abilities are concerned, Sloane Stephens has it over on her
Sloane has won two WTA titles outside of USA one title in New Zealand and the other in Mexico.
Also agree, a major Congratulations to Sloane Stephens. She is a wonderful competitor with a pleasant attitude, a likable person. Am very glad to see more women on the WTA tour rising to high levels. Still enjoy seeing Venus and Serena play. Each brings a high level to the game, competition, and the game of tennis. It is always nicer to me to see more competitors. Serena said it recently how others have raised their level and also causes her level to increase too. It seems to me, We are seeing a significant increase in the number of high level women players, both in the younger, and more experienced players on tour. Many of the players on tour have raised their own level to compete with Serena, Venus, the younger players, like Angelina Kerber, Caroline Wosniaki, Simone Halep, Garbiñe Marguruza. Seems We are also seeing something similar in the ATP men's tour too but more from the more experienced players and the continuance of great ones too.
Sports to me, has mostly been about the endeavor of development, rising, and achievement of athletic performance, excellence and greatness. often involving the.tests of the limits of physical, mental and emotional aspects of humans. Tennis, specifically has some uniqueness in the combination of all of these together.
{am also an athletic type, wuth tennis as one of my most enjoyable]
True, Sloane's serve is not quite at the level of Serena, but frankly, who else but Venus has the power Serena has in her serve [and Serena's is generally more powerful]?!
Sloane has significantly improved her serve in the recent years. Her good friend Madison Keys or Coco Vandeweghe may have more powerful serves, but that is not always the determining factor or element. Naomi Osaka seems to have a powerful serve, and apparently the player she looked up to most is Serena. We can see many great players have been and are champions without the necessity of a powerful serve. Sloane does have a good elements in all aspects of her game with some being weapons. Each player has their own unique set, and Sloane is a fine example.
Big fan of both players!!! Great job Sloane!! Stephens is killer right now
Stephens foot speed is just incredible, it's so hard to hit a winning shot against her when she's in form! Hopefully, she'll use that speed to her advantage cause she won't stay young forever! Now 24 it's time to peak Sloane!
Sloane played very smart tennis. She knows Ostapenko's game is one of aggression and power. So she played a lot of those balls deep. And it didn't offer Ostapenko too many opportunities to finish off points as comfortably as we've seen her done throughout this tournament.
That said, congrats to both players. Well done, Sloane!
the new gen coming through from indian wells to miami. yaass!
Her team is so supportive it's so cute! haha
Congrats to Sloane! Sloane's mental disposition just seems much more calm in this tourney even when she makes a mistake. Felt like she just truly let it go and focused on conquering the next point. I hope she keeps up this kind of play.
Never knew Ostapenko had that sportsmanship in her. Nice embrace at the net.
Best strategy against Ostapenko is to let her defeat herself. Due to her large unforced errors, if you don't make unforced errors on your side, just push the ball little deep, you will eventually win. Need some patience to do that. Sloane executed this strategy very well as I think. Congrats!
I said that she will won this!😍 #proud🏆
Good Match Baby Face Ostapenko! Congrats Sloane Stephens! Making a Statement!
Among the WTA youngbloods, I like these two. Sloane Stephens. Jelena Ostapenko. Naomi Osaka. Elina Svitolina. Daria Kasaktina. Kaolina Pilskova. Garbine Muguruza.
Are you going to upload the trophy presentation? And the post match press conference?
new generation in wta
congratulation sister
That superb defense was what Sloane used en route to the US Open title and this title here. Best of luck to her for Wimbledon.
Who says black female tennis players would be no more after the great William sisters?... Ain't God great 🙏🙏🙏✊👏👌 xxx
there are a few black players in the top one 100 and a few more in the top 200. the bible says in numbers 14:28, so tell them as surely as i live, declares the lord, i will do to you the very thing i heard you say. so you can pray for your favorite player, wether sephens, or Vickery, etc by saying [insert players name] wins every tennis match she plays. [insert players name] wins every tennis tournament she plays in
say the word and have faith in numbers 14:28, that God will do what you say. have faith in mark 11:23, you shall have whatever you say
I don't think anyone said that, Marva. I think because of the incredible legacy of the Williams sisters we will see more and more tennis players of color coming up the ranks.
Very remarkable how Sloane's has changed after she came back from her injury time out. Probably it has to do with maturity. She has become one of the most formidable defenders in the women game, moving around the court with relative ease, yet always ready to go into offense. She used to be flatfooted and mostly aggressive, racking up unforced errors. You need both defense and offense to become a champion. Her game frustrated Ostapenko as she was always bringing back the ball one more time.
So happy for Sloan !!!! 💪🏽🔥
lol the commentators were really enjoying this match 😂
No surprised at all that Jelena was very sociable after match ended.
Lose yesterday was on her, she was serving terribly, after losing the first match she totally lost control.
Both players started the match very cautious, but Sloane had better control of emotions, and not too much unforced errors. Good for her, congrats :)
she'll get lazy and disappear again. have to say tho she played amazing with the drop shots and all. thats how u beat power player osty and nice to see her changed attitude at the net.
Sloane you are a beast, these days , the lines are money, and you play the open court very well, don't nothing move on the court but the player and the tennis ball.
Very happy for Sloan love her and her game
Bridget
Very happy for her She deserve it !!! Go Stephens !!!👍👍👍👍
Why are there no clips of the doubles?? Not even the final??
Sloane was like a wall in this match, nothing Jelena did could get past her.
[USERNAME] This is so epic, thanks for sharing
helluvan athlete. she's as good as she wants to be. superior performance. wow.
Awesome Stephens🙌🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Top Notch! Go Girl!
Oooh. So many Americans here. Lol. Loved the first set. So competetive. I would say ostapenko should tweak her game but then again, she did win a GS with it and now a runner up at this big tourney beating good players too, so I dunno
Yes it's an interesting situation. She is a power player and she can dominate most players just doing what she does. Stephens' incredible athleticism and defense were too much for her, so maybe she needs some other tactics when playing her. Stephens looked awfully good out there. But so did Osty.
It's not the final that i was expected, Jelena made so many unforced errors. Hope she will have more determinations in other tournaments esp GS. However, congratulations for both players reaching the final!
A very good tactical win by Sloane, she moved well and soaked up the hard hit balls which floated back and eventually an error was made by Jelena. I think Jelena should have followed in some of those hard shots to the net and then with an angled volley she could’ve finished the point.
Stephens plays such great defense.
Nice victory for nice person !
She is the future of tennis
YES YOU GO GIRL
the umpire was shaking hand using left hand. in my country, that's disrespectful
SYNCpro
You begin a sentence about someone without capitalizing your letter - in my country that's disrespectful.
What what that umpire handshake at the end?
Sloane Stephens is the best defensive player
Just how annoying is it to see the thumbnail showing the winner?! For goodness sake, please let us watch the highlights with at least a little suspense.
Hugh A N
exactly my sentiment as well 😭😭😭
Yours is a common complaint and we all agree.
hello from Paris
i so agree !!
Hugh A N I agree man
More impressive than us open. She beat the top players in women's tennis all in a row. We'll see later about Serena.
Congratulation are in order Stephens. Good play Ostapenko.
Congratulations Miss Stevens!
Oh, consider viewing Sloane Stephens as a unique player of her own. Though, yes We can find some similarities of here abilities and performance to other great players, We can see as she has developed, She has a unique style of her own. It seems to me, her present coach continues to work with Sloane in what works well for Sloane to be her best. We have seen Sloane improve in many areas over the years, and she seems to still be developing and growing in her game and success. Am glad to see a pleasant, likable young woman as Sloane to continue to grow and achieve. She brings many good talents, abilities and behavior to the WTA, and the world and game of tennis.
Nice game!
Ostapenko reminded me of Madison Keys today, baseball bashing her way to a loss. All Scone had to do was keep the ball in play.
Ostapenko is a brilliant player. Keys is also quite good.
Keys is better than Ostapenko, they’ve played each other on grass a much faster surface which they both like and keys beat her in the final... team keys all the way. As for Sloane I don’t doubt she’ll lose form again I don’t like her personality on the court just cause a lot of the time it looks like she’d rather be anywhere else but she’s pretty good at running down shots doesn’t hit with pace most of the time which throws most players off
Albert Hernandez Yes of course one loss means it's all over.
As if it were as simple as that...Osty is 20 and a formidable power player. She will get even better...
Albert Hernandez Keys has zero slams and Ostapenko is MORE consistent. Ostapenko has a slam.
Sloane has really turned on the gas!
Congrats
Where is this Sloane now?
Comeback girl, you need to win like this again.
7:06 "OMG It heavy". :) Congratulations to Sloane Stephens.
Great defense from slone in the 2 set
Where are the doubters from the Australian Open? 👏😁
People hate and then don't comment when they're wrong
sloane esti superba
Congratulations to Miss Sloane 😎
I'd like to see more aggression in Sloane Stephens' game. Stepping in on the second serve and not playing so far behind the baseline. Ostapenko has an aggressive style however she is very erratic. I believe Sloane can find the right balance. Next stop is the European clay court season. Is Sloane capable of playing on clay and winning outside of the US?
tjrtt Sloane is good on clay when she is motivated.
She’s gone deep on clay in the past. Hopefully she can win one more tournament before French open to give give her the confidence
tjrtt ... Sloane is a very smart player, she didn't need to be aggressive against Ostapenko. Sloane has power and can be aggressive, she is a very rounded player with great defense skills, one of the best forehands in the game. Sloane has 6 titles, a 6-0 record in finals, she won in Brisbane and Acapulco, get the facts before you criticize... winning at home is not as easy as you and others think, there's added expectation to perform well at home, encouragement motivates but it doesn't play the game, the player does.
Well done, Slone honey, very well done!
7:06 OMG it's heavy!
"oh my god it's heavy" 7:04 lolol
