Ahhh..........
Another Australian Open - another Stosur capitulation. I like her - she seems like a good sort, but her situation seems almost chronic to me.
And let's hope the Big Pealla can knock over that smelly, mouldy block of Swiss Cheese. I can't see it happening - Rafa hasn't played enough in recent times, and his knees don't give me much confidence.
VAMOS !

Have to feel sorry for Stosur, hopefully sh'll be a good coach.
Great career given her 'issues'.
Finals, then 4 in a row!

It's a shame about Sam but her best seems to behind her. It's a bit like Alicia Molik in that she promised so much but couldn't deliver. Of course, Molik had a debilitating medical condition.
It's not all doom and gloom though; we seem to have some promising youngsters, Ash and Dasher are doing OK and Nick Kyrgios appears to have turned the corner ????

Stosur just cannot play hard court tennis.
She's a clay courter and hence why she's not that good at the Australian open.

If I remember correctly, she had an inner ear infection that developed into something more serious.

She played that match point way too safe and was hoping for an error, after that she was toast.

entirely.
And for a girl with muscles to burn and a 'strong' serve in the scheme of women's tennis she surely loses her serve a lot...
When she tightens up everything simply collapses - her serve, her forehand and her footwork.
