Sloane and Gael Sitting in a Tree?
Sunday, September 4, 2011 at 2:30PM Some interesting Q & A from Sloane Stephens' press conference after her loss to Ana Ivanovic:
Who were some of the tennis player crushes when you were growing up?
So that would be men, right?
Right.
I mean, I don't know.
Anybody you looked up to?
Okay. Oh, when I was playing juniors, my first US Open, I was 14, I think, and I was in love with Gaël Monfils. Like he was it. Like I was going to marry him. That was it. Never talked to me. Never even spoke to the guy in my life. Two days ago, whenever I played Shahar, we rode back in the van together to the hotel. He is "the" nicest person in the world, but I'm definitely not going to marry him.
Are you going to date him?
No, I'm not going to date him. I'm following him on Twitter, but that's as far as I'm going to go with that.
What caught your eye with that?
He's amazing to watch. He runs, he does everything. He's just someone when you're watching him, you're like, Wow, I can't believe he just did that. He keeps going. He fights for everything. He fights for every point. It's nice to watch, like, a really good athlete play and do something really nice on the court in their own sport. That's what I enjoy most about watching him play.
Sorry Gael, but she is just not that into you......
