For the first time since the 2004 U.S. Open, when Serena Williams, Venus Williams, Lindsay Davenport, and Jennifer Capriati reached the fourth round, the United States has four women in the round of 16 of a major. Jamie Hampton, Sloane Stephens, Bethanie Mattek-Sands, and Serena are into the round of 16 at Roland Garros; Williams went on to won her fourth-round match on Sunday.
“Yeah, impressive, huh?,” Hampton said. “Got a unique group I think between Serena, obviously the best player in the world, and Bethanie, Sloane, and myself. Three different players with very unique games, it’s cool.”
