Stephens first came to attention among tennis lovers when she managed to reach the first doubles final of her career during the U.S. Open in 2008. Stephens had victories in the Italian Open as well as the International Spring Championships which gave her a big confidence boost. Her impressive results continued with her now having a 16 match win streak that led to her entry into the top five of the junior rankings.

Stephens then started to progress very quickly into the professional scene since by the end of the 2010 season she managed to jump from the rank of 802 to 198. She would shock many tennis fans when she beat Serena Williams who was ranked third in the world at the time with Stephens still being 19 years of age.

Over the years, Stephens has had many highs and lows too since there have been injuries that led to periods of long absence along with the poor form. In 2021, Stephens is continuing to try and improve her form and is actively participating in different tournaments including the French Open as well as the 2021 Mutua Madrid Open.
