Maybe that is the point being made? Sloane can't handle the weight of expectations so after a big
win she needs to go on a walkabout for a few months. After expectations have died down and she
isn't seen as any favorite to win she feels free to just play.

If that strategy results in multiple slams and other big titles, then that is just fine... reminds me of Kvitova, by the way.
