Tennis players are coming up with innovative challenges for everyone to attempt during the Tour suspension. Andy Murray chipped in with the 100-volley challenge with his wife Kim, which soon became a hit. Sloane Stephens recently attempted the challenge with her fiance Jozy Altidore.
Many tennis players attempted the 100 volley challenge set by Andy Murray. As you’d expect, many of them succeeded too. Novak Djokovic was one of the first ones to give it a try to a wonderful effect.

Sloane Stephens and Jozy Altidore attempt 100 volleys
And now, American tennis star Sloane Stephens has given it a goo as well. Her partner and finance, Jozy Altidore, is an American soccer player. Surely both have some know-how when it comes to the other’s sport, and it certainly showed in their attempt.

The pair started off really well and got into a rhythm. It must be said, though, Solane Stephen’s tennis skills came in handy a couple of times when she had to save the rally. Despite that, you have to commend Jozy for doing well.
You can even hear Sloane compliment her fiance midway through the rally. “babe, you’re really good”, she chimed in.
Ironically, though, it was Stephens who erred to end the rally with a wayward volley that Jozy simply could not get to.

Oh well, they have a ton of time on their hands to practice and get even better than they are now. The tennis season is far from close to resuming given the awful situation the USA finds itself in.
maybe now the couple can try juggling with a soccer ball to see how Sloane fares in her partner’s sport.
