Sloane Stephens: Global Brand Ambassador

Sloane Stephens joins other elite athletes like Roger Federer, Lewis Hamilton, and Rickie Fowler in her role as a global ambassador for Mercedes-Benz.

“Sloane Stephens is the perfect athlete to represent the Mercedes-Benz brand globally,” said Monique Harrison, Department Head of Brand Experience Marketing at Mercedes- Benz USA. “She has emerged as a powerhouse in the world of tennis, and has her sights set on being the best. We are excited to see her strive for greatness and help grow the game. At such a young age, she has already proven to be a star, making her an ideal fit for our brand.”

As part of the partnership, Stephens will be gifted a brand-new 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLE 63 S Coupe—a model that combines incredible performance with striking design and everyday versatility.

“I am absolutely honored to be a part of the Mercedes-Benz global family,” Stephens said. “Mercedes-Benz is constantly raising the bar in the automotive industry, which is similar to how I approach tennis. We both want to perform at the highest level and be the best in the world.”
