Personal life [edit]

Next, Hampton played in Memphis International where she beat defending champion Magdalena Rybarikova in round one but then fell to Vera Dushevina. She then received a wild card into the BNP Paribas Open where she made it into the fourth round before having to retire due to cramping against Agnieszka Radwańska, having defeated former champion Jelena Janković in the second round en route.
