Learn about tennis superstar Sloane Stephens in this book in a nonfiction series about your favorite athletes' childhoods and what (or who) helped them become the stars they are today!
Sloane Stephens comes from a family of athletes. Her mother was an All-American swimmer while her father was an NFL running back.

She represented the USA at the 2016 Rio Olympics and in 2017 she captured the championship trophy at the 2017 US Open. Who knows what new heights she'll climb.
