Sloane Stephens mourns the death of three family members ahead of the Australian Open

As she adjusts to life quarantining ahead of the Australian Open, tennis star Sloane Stephens has revealed she is mourning the death of her grandfather, less than a week after announcing that her grandmother and aunt had passed away due to Covid-19.

The 2017 US Open champion is currently undergoing a strict 14-day quarantine at a Melbourne hotel ahead of next month's grand slam. In a social media post last week, Stephens revealed her Auntie Anna had passed away on December 26 and her grandmother on January 10.
