The 2017 US Open champion got engaged to Toronto striker Jozy Altidore at the start of this week.

Stephens has also started a new professional relationship, recruiting Maria Sharapova’s long-time coach Groeneveld.

Last year’s French Open runner-up parted with Kamau Murray at the end of last season despite surging to a career-high third in the rankings.

Dutchman Groeneveld and Sharapova mutually agreed a split in March of last year.

It was announced on Thursday that Sharapova will miss the Internazionali BNL d’Italia in Rome as she continues to struggle with a shoulder injury.
