"First thing I did after Guadalajara" - Sloane Stephens confirms she's frozen her eggs, praises husband and family for being supportive of her choices

American tennis player Sloane Stephens recently took to social media to reveal that she has frozen her eggs. She also stated that she has recovered well in time and has begun her off-season training routine.

In an interaction with fans on Instagram, Stephens confirmed that she had frozen her eggs after a fan asked her a question about it. The former World No. 3 went on to say it was a worthwhile process, before adding that she was lucky to have the support of her mother and sister the whole time.

Stephens answered the query with a photo of herself in the background, presumably taken at the fertility clinic, flashing a victory sign.

"Yes! I did it! It was the first thing I did after Guadalajara. It was a process but so worth it! Jozy was so great and supportive. My mom and sister were with me during the process. I'm lucky that I had a lot of support! My procedure went well and I'm fully recovered and have started my off season training," she stated.
