Sloane Stephens in Cincinnati, Ready to Win Another Title

MASON, Ohio — (AP) — Sloane Stephens knows how it feels to win a championship. She can't wait to do it again.

Stephens got started on a second Tuesday, rolling to a 6-1, 6-2 upset of 10th-ranked Carla Suarez Navarro in the first round of the Western & Southern Open. She won the first title of her pro career at the Citi Open on Aug. 9 in Washington.

"(You're) always like searching and trying to find that next great moment, and like that was like one Sunday where I had a great moment," said the 22-year-old Stephens, a first-round loser at Toronto last week.
