Watch on YouTube: Serena Williams vs. Sloane Stephens, 2013 US Open women's singles fourth round

 

Sloane Stephens defeated Serena Williams in the 2013 Australian Open quarterfinals, marking the biggest win on the biggest stage of her career to date. Stephens, who was seeded No. 29 as a 19-year-old in Melbourne, backed up that semifinal run with a quarterfinal appearance at Wimbledon.

 

Her seed improved to No. 15 in time for the 2013 US Open, and the then-20-year-old set up a rematch against Williams in the fourth round. Serena, 31 at the time and the world No. 1, was out for revenge.

 

The defending champion fired 22 winners in the match, helping her on the way to her second of three straight US Open women's singles titles. She dropped just one set in the entire 2013 tournament, in the final against Victoria Azarenka.

 

The current head-to-head between Williams and Stephens stands at 5-1 in favor of Williams, with Stephens' 2013 AO win remaining her lone victory in their matchups. Their most recent meeting came at the 2015 French Open.

 

The complete fourth-round showdown, along with scores of other great content, is now available to watch on the USTA YouTube channel, or below.
