Sloane Stephens is headed to the second round of the French Open after beating No. 16 Karolína Plíšková in an upset victory on Monday (6-0, 6-4). She spoke bluntly in response to a question about racism after the win.
"Yes, it's obviously been a problem my entire career," she said."It has never stopped. If anything, it's only gotten worse."
"I have a lot of obviously key words banned on Instagram and all of these things, but that doesn't stop someone from just typing in an asterisk or typing it in a different way, which obviously software most of the time doesn't catch," she said."It's something I have had to deal with," she said,"and something I will continue to deal with, I'm sure. That's that.
