Sloane Stephens bashed a racquet clean in half

If you watch tennis, you’ve seen a lot of people smash racquets. I cannot recall someone executing such a perfect single strike that the racquet snaps clean in half, as Sloane Stephens did above at the Rogers Cup. Like, when Stephens beat Serena Williams in 2013, it took Serena a few hacks to break the thing in anger:

So nicely done, Sloane. Or maybe: poorly done, racquet manufacturer.
