Serena Williams has come back from a slow start to beat Sloane Stephens 2-6, 6-2, 6-2 in the U.S. Open’s third round.

Boosted by her sensational and historic run in the juniors doubles tournament of the 2020 Australian Open, Globe Ambassador and tennis prodigy Alex Eala is now ranked fourth, a career high, in juniors.
