In excerpts from an interview with , Stephens said Williams had not spoken to her since the 20-year-old beat the 15-time major winner in the first grand slam of the year.
"People should know," Stephens said. "They think she's so friendly and she's so this and she's so that - no, that's not reality."

In the interview conducted last month, Stephens said she now gets the silent treatment from Williams in the locker room and through social media since their last WTA Tour match. The two were teammates at a Fed Cup tie two weeks ago in Florida.
"She's not said one word to me, not spoken to me, not said hi, not looked my way, not been in the same room with me since I played her in Australia," Stephens said. "And that should tell everyone something, how she went from saying all these nice things about me to unfollowing me on Twitter.
"You don't unfollow someone on Twitter, delete them off of BlackBerry Messenger. I mean, what for? Why?"
