"Our partnership with the WTA has been a natural one and we are proud to associate ourselves with these elite female athletes from around the world," said Dan Macuga, USANA chief communications officer. "We are excited to have Sloane join our growing list of ambassadors and to watch her continue to excel and grow as an athlete."

Stephens first turned professional in fall 2009 and had a notable season in 2010, winning three of the four Junior Doubles titles—the , Wimbledon and the U.S. Open—with Hungarian partner Timea Babos in 2010. During her rookie year of playing a full WTA schedule, she became the youngest player ranked in the Top 100 at No. 97 and in 2012 she ended the season at No. 38, becoming the only teenager and youngest-ranked player in the year-end Top 50.

"My career is just beginning and I am really excited to see what I can accomplish this season, as well as over the next few years," said the up-and-coming tennis star. "With USANA's support and its high-quality products, I believe I can achieve great things both on and off the court."

Stephens recently kicked off the 2013 season by playing in the quarterfinals (64-63) of the Brisbane International and is currently playing at the Moorilla event. She will next compete in the season's first Grand Slam event—the Australia Open—alongside Stosur, Huber and on January 14.
