I have no idea what that means

This is what she said tho -

Performing media duties after her 6-0, 2-6, 6-1 defeat, Stephens told reporters “Everyone saw after the first point she gave like a massive scream.”

The 2017 US Open champion went on to be less than glowingly complimentary about Raducanu’s performance, saying “She played me, someone she's ranking-wise supposed to beat. [Stephens stands 50 places lower down the ladder at No 68 in the world.] And, I mean, yeah, she won.”

As to the likelihood of Raducanu continuing her extraordinary trajectory up the world rankings, Stephens sounded unconvinced. “Because she is so young it's definitely a long road, so there's going to be a lot of ups and downs. I think she, yeah, has just a lot to learn.

“I was talking to someone in the locker-room,” Stephens added, “and I'm like, ‘We'll be here when she comes down.’”
