Serena Williams, the 40-year-old American is undoubtedly one of the greatest players to ever play tennis, with 23 Grand Slams to her name, she is regarded by many as the face of women’s tennis. Despite being a legend of the game, Serena Williams has always been surrounded by controversies throughout the course of her career.

29-year-old American professional, Sloane Stephens in 2013, insisted that Serena Williams was not the cheerful person to her that she was to the rest of the world. Stephens who was just 20 at the time called out Serena Williams for her rude personality 9 years ago which caught every headline back then.

Sloane Stephens accused Serena Williams of being a sore loser in 2013

Sloane Stephens back in 2013, defeated Serena Williams in an Australian Open showdown between the two of them. The American claimed that Williams has completely shunned her ever since Stephens emerged victorious from the tie. She even went and accused Williams of not being the happy-go-lucky character that was usually seen in public.

Stephens said, “People should know. They think she’s so friendly and she’s so this and she’s so that. No, that’s not reality, 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. You don’t unfollow someone on Twitter, delete them off of BlackBerry Messenger. I mean, what for? Why?”

“For the first 16 years of my life, she said one word to me and was never involved in my tennis whatsoever, I really don’t think it’s that big of a deal that she’s not involved now. If you mentor someone, that means you speak to them, that means you help them, that means you know about their life, that means you care about them. Are any of those things true at this moment? No.” Stephens added further back in 2013.
