Sloane Stephens on the WTA Players Council: "Like a full-time job I do for free"

Sloane Stephens has been a member of the WTA Players Council since 2019. These days the US star is playing at the Western & Southern Open in Cincinnati, and she recently answered a few questions about her role at the Council.

She explained: "This is, like, the full-time job that I do for free! I'm on player council, so I won't dig too deep into it. I won't put salt in the wound. But it has been better, and I think we need to do better for our players." The former US Open winner also said about this issue: "It's definitely tough, but I think we all have the same sentiment when it comes to figuring out what works best for the players.

Everyone's going through it just at different times with different situations and different scheduling and rain and whatever it is. Just trying to manage that and, yeah, everyone, of course, if they have a complaint, they are coming to the person they think can change it, which I have no control." Slone then added: "I think, yeah, we're a bunch of suckers because we keep coming back.

It's for the greater good, it's for the tour, it's for the girls, so the girls that are 15, 16 years old now who aspire to be professional tennis players, like, they have a good place to play and have a good job. Yeah, you know, it's a lot, but at the end of the day it will be worth it."
