Sloane Stephens Tackles Two Roles at French Open
21 May
Summary
- Sloane Stephens will compete and broadcast at the French Open.
- She qualified for the main draw after recovering from injury.
- Stephens will work with TNT Sports covering the tournament.
Sloane Stephens, the 2018 French Open finalist, is preparing for a multifaceted role at this year's Roland Garros. Having missed the previous year due to a foot injury, Stephens has successfully qualified for the main draw by winning three matches. Her face lit up with a smile as she thanked the enthusiastic fans who supported her through qualifying.
In addition to her playing commitments, Stephens will also be part of the TNT Sports broadcasting team covering the French Open. This marks TNT Sports' second year holding the broadcasting rights. Last year, she contributed as a courtside reporter and provided in-studio analysis.
Stephens finds herself in a distinctive position, as players are reportedly limiting media availability in protest of revenue share at Roland Garros. While her long-term career plans remain undisclosed, her entrepreneurial and philanthropic endeavors suggest numerous future opportunities beyond tennis, including broadcasting.
The official French Open draw is scheduled to be released on May 21, determining Stephens's first opponent in the Round of 128, with play commencing on Sunday, May 17.
