aSheas not said one word to me, not talked to me, not said hi, not looked my way, not since she was played by me in Australia,a Stephens been in exactly the same place with me says emphatically. aAnd that should tell everybody anything, how she went from saying every one of these wonderful reasons for having me to unfollowing me on Twitter.a Her mom tries to slow her down, but Sloane is insistent. Equally, significantly! People ought to know. They think sheas so pleasant and sheas so this and sheas so that the ' no, thatas not reality! You donat unfollow someone on Twitter, erase them from BlackBerry Messenger. After all, what for? Why?a Stephens describes an event when she was 12 and first found Williams play, in Delray Beach, Fla., at a Fed Cup tie (actually, the two were Fed Cup teammates two weeks ago in Delray Beach), that left her with a poor impression of Serena and her sister Venus. aI waited throughout the day [for an autograph],a she describes. aThey went by 3 times and never closed our posters.a Stephens provides of the poster: aI put it up [in my room] for some time. I was, like, devastated because they didnat signal it, whatever, and then next I was over it. A new player was found by me to like because I didnat like them anymore.a The story is very enlightening given just how much was made from that Serena poster in the lead-up for their Australian Open match. Asked about the poster throughout her post-win interview with Rennae Stubbs, Stephens joked, aI think Iall set a up of myself now.a Stephens also eviscerated any shred of fact behind the overblown mentor-protege perspective that lots of media outlets went with when the two faced off in January, first in Brisbane and then in Melbourne: aFor the first 16 years of my entire life, she said one word to me and was never associated with my football whatsoever,a says Stephens. aI actually donat feel itas that big of a package that sheas not included now. If you advisor somebody, that means you speak to them, that means you support them, that means you know about their life, that means you care about them. Are any one of those activities true at this moment? No, so thereforeaa
