Sloane Stephens worked toward a college degree while sidelined 11 months with a left foot injury, but her run to the US Open semi-finals has delivered a blow to her hopes of graduating on time. Stephens admitted on Tuesday after beating Latvian Anastasija Sevastova 6-3, 3-6, 7-6 (7/4) that she isn't getting her classwork done thanks to her Grand Slam success. "I'm actually going to fail my last semester of college because I'm here and I haven't submitted any work in like three weeks," Stephens said.

"That's another part of life that is really stressing me right now." She is studying for a degree as part of a program the WTA has with Indiana University East.
