Injuries are quite common for tennis players but Sloane Stephens experienced something that not many of her colleagues went through.
The 2017 US Open champion currently competes at the 2022 Parma Open, where she's the fourth-seeded. In the first round of the tournament, Sloane Stephens took on Magdalena Frech in a match that lasted two hours and 30 minutes.
After a lengthy the American triumphed 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 but after the match, she highlighted problems that she experienced in the third set. Stephens was coming back after losing the first set and she was only two games away from winning when she was up 4-3 in the third set.
Yet, she lost her serve and the score was once again tied at 4-4. And that was the point when Stephens didn't fight just her opponent but also a bee on the court. After the match, she revealed what happened, by stating:
"I got stung by a bee at 4-4 in the 3rd set during my match today and it was not a pleasant experience. 0/10 - Do not recommend," Stephens tweeted.
