Stosur is one very fit looking woman indeed. No hail damage on those hamstrings.

She's no Karrie Webb though.

I'll say

I watched her match against Hennin and was genuinely surprised at her physique and power ... very impressive !

[sms316]

She's no Karrie Webb though.

Damn straight! Excuse me whilst I go and have a private moment.

[AndyP]

Just give up, Jankovic. Some of us need sleep.

I think Schiavone is a better opponent for Sam in the final, since she won't have played a grand slam final before either.

[MegaWatty]

All over her like a cheap suit. I thought it was going to be a late night!!,

[AndyP]

Woop!

Very well done indeed.

[MegaWatty]

Clinical.

[TheNuclearOne]

Overwhelming display, and such calm. Her record vs Schiavone is superb too. Corona's and Bourbons and a hoarse throat are in order Sat night.

[PeteyD]

Crushed. Great win. Glad I stayed up, and glad Dementalwoman hurt herself and got the game on earlier

[Eag's]

Our last woman's Grand Slam winner was over 30 years ago, surely we are due

[Moe Norman]

has sms already pointed out that Stosur would most certainly be strong in the ?

[TheNuclearOne]

Socceroos are playing at 10pm on Sat nite too in a friendly against the seppo's.....should be a big night !
Go Sammy.

Thanks for the heads up. It's looming as a very sweet night.

Goes without saying.

Appears that a hand shandy would be fraught with danger too.

[dhills2]

I wish I had guns like that... can't wait for Saturday

Oh no!

[TheTrueReview]

Go Sammie. Hopefully she can beat Cacciatore or whatever her name is.

[Choppa]

She's struggling.

[LeftyHoges]

Isn't there a way to shut that Italian bitch up. She's frickin grunting on chipped volleys and little sliced backhands. Surely they have to draw the line somewhere.

[LarryLong]

What a bunch of doubting Thomases you guys are.

Stosur breaks and looks to be on the way to 3-1 in the second. I watched a bit of the first set with the sound down, which sounds like it could make the game more enjoyable. They really have to stamp out the manly grunting, not to mention the long waits between points. She's more annoying than Mary Pierce used to be.

[AndyP]

That was a letdown.

Schiavone really attacked for that win. Stosur never got going, or wasn't allowed to.

[3oneday]

The Iti didn't miss much, very solid.

[goughy]

Played her final in the last 3 matches. Didn't quite look like she was there, and once she'd missed those few volleys she really didn't seem to want to move to the front of the court. Still think she'll get another shot. Well done Skiavone, that tie breaker was played well.

[LeftyHoges]

Not the result it shouldve been but fair win to schiavone. Funnily enough, I firmly believe Stosur played the better tennis in the first set, especially early on, but failed to capitilise on the break points and the other girl only got one chance and took it.

Strange game in that sense. Could've just as easily been Stosur's first set and then held on to her break in the second. Game over.
