#17 Sloane Stephens saw her time in Indian Wells come to and end against #20 Flavia Pennetta Thursday. Pennetta took sets one and three 6-4 while Stephens did mange to nip the second set 7-5. As usual Stephens was fairly inconsistent in the match and at times looked like she’d get routed and would also come back to win easily. Sloane will now look forward to the Sony Open starting next week and another chance at a big tournament, though at this point we are all waiting for her first tournament win more than a semifinal run.
